but having a father/son like the ablett's who are both legends of the game is certainly very rare. theres several examples of father/son playing top level sport but cant think of many where both have been absolutely heads and shoulders above all others of their generation

    his strength in his legs hips & core, he could play til 33 + down forward.

    Is there a father-son pairing to rival them in any other sport in the world do you think (past or present)?

    Kieren Jack and his dad, and that's over two sports

    Absolutely love Kieren Jack - but Gary Ablett he ain't.

    Suns' big signing = Gary Ablett Jnr.

    GWS' big signing = Tom Scully.

    Not exactly equivalent players - similar coin though.

    Unbelievable.

    Best and most creative midfielder in my lifetime.

    Couldn't agree more...but I'd have his dad in that list as well.

    Until last night I always thought Gary Snr was the more freakish player, while his son the more well-rounded, but some of last night's magic reminded me very much of his father.

    Beautiful to watch.

    I thought he was selfish. All those possessions and kicking 4 goals to himself. Winning the game off his boot... Give someone else a turn.

    All jokes aside, it was just jaw dropping to watch that display. Even when every other player looked spent, he looked like he could school them for a fifth quarter.

    Sam Gilbert is meant to be some freak rugby upbringing tackler, yet Gaz brushed him off like he was nuttin'.

    He killed my multibet, yet it was still a joy to watch.

    I'm not going to lie. I loved his performance even more considering I tipped the Suns and had Gary Ablett as my SC Captain.

    Agree. Scully would be on the same amount as Gaz but I know who is more exciting. Ablett is a captain who leads perfectly. Scully is vc and no where near as good as leader.

    I reckon after 2015, we'd be better served with an elite player of about 25 - 26 Yrs of age.

    To me, poetic justice would have GAjnr return to sleepy hollow. I would not like to see future Abletts of young Gaz, go to the Suns.

    he's knocking right on that door.

    You forgot someone in your list: GAblett Snr

    not to mention Lockett, Silvani Jnr, Flower, did I forget any?

    ... that spin away from the opponent & goal was very GAblett Snr like, but Snr did it all the time. Jnr is a much better midfielder than his dad & has better endurance.

    Jnr is one of the best midfielders of all time. Still got a small way to go to catch his dad.

    I, did... Bruce Doull for one...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
