The debate was on...  some years ago,  Pre Jnr's time in the Sun.

    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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
