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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
