We all know they both had brilliant years in 2013 - separated by just one vote in the Brownlow medal. Selwood is widely regarded as the second best player in the competition, while Ablett, almost unanimously, is thought of as #1.
Joel will be 25 turning 26 next season - smack bang in the middle of his prime.
Ablett will be 29 turning 30. For many players, this would mean a decline in form, leg-speed, stamina, etc. For many others, those could all come five years later.
If Selwood was to continue to improve, building on his career best 2013 form - and Ablett was to show some signs of the above mentioned decline, could we see our captain courageous become the best player in the competition?
