Gary Ablett Jnr

Featured Replies

 

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

Edited by Munga

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

Where will he finish up I wonder. The Demons would be nice.

 

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.

Where will he finish up I wonder. The Demons would be nice.

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...

Gold coast were exciting last night, fit and structured, they look so far ahead of us last night.

Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
