I don't think we can ignore the similarities.

We know Cristiano Ronaldo likes to dive.


And we know the handbaggers like to describe Ablett as a wingman when he was always their main forward.

At 1:20 Ronaldo's coach calls him a 'winger'.


And we all think that Ronaldo is probably on the gear :)

So it's settled, Ablett Sr is the AFL's Cristiano Ronaldo :D

Cristiano Ronaldo's wiki page describes him as a 'forward' despite being referred to as a winger by fans.

You show a complete lack of knowledge for two sports and a blatant disregard for the history, intricacies and achievements of two pretty significant contributors, all within 62 words.

Does that make you the Chopper Read of BigFooty posters? Crayons at the ready... :eek:

Actually there's a lot more detail in my synopsis of these two players than those who would simply classify them as wingers. I think they're both Top 10 in the history of their respective sports, but some remarkable similarities between the two.

I understand that you'd like it to, after all it contains so many home truths and you might finally have to accept that Ablett was a career forward..
