    He really had this incredible center of gravity. Mark and kicking ability that was just extraordinary at times. Would walk into any team today. One of the best ever.

    The man was incredibly powerful thru his core...  imo, from his genes.

    His family tree had generations of wood-choppers...  tree felling,  the hard way.

    Snr by a mile for me, just for the conditions he played in. Wet, muddy, windy.... he did it all

    Ablett Senior makes Buddy Franklin  look average in comparison.

    He was incredible.

    Snr is the greatest ever. He still would be if he played today.

    Jnr was/is brilliant in a game that is different he gets more possessions than anyone, uses the ball well and kicks lots of goals for a midfielder but has nothing on the old man.

    Snr was the most talented to ever play the game and was probably what the game is all about. However the consistency of Jnr and professionalism is now what the game is about. The problem is though there have been many players like Jnr and although he may be one of the best there has NEVER been a player like Snr.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
