I worshiped the guy growing up, even convinced my younger brother that he *really was* God, but that is a silly statement. Ablett Snr is definitely in the conversation as 'greatest ever', but nobody is undisputed when it comes to these things..

He's going to rack up at least 30 this year. His games against the Hawks and North were two of the best games I've ever seen by an individual.

Getting back to the ops question, I reckon danger and buddy are the 2 other current players that, if they keep playing at their current level for long enough will potentially be spoken about when discussing best ever footballers.

Ablett junior is not that good for an all time talk. Very very good but been many better midfielders in history.
I think Cyril and Dangerfield are on track to be rated with the greats of past though.

Undisputed?
That hes the most disgusting barely human lowest of the low junkie rat would not be disputed by many of course.
Potentially:
Dangerfield
Fyfe
Bont
Buddy
Just missing out:
Mitchell
Pendlebury
Riewoldt
Petracca and Weitering could be generational players.

God, I hope you are right. We haven't had a generational player in several generations...

No he isnt. Carey and Matthews are considered better

At least 30? You do realize how hard it is to hit 30 right?

LOL Plays down Gablett only to pump up Cyril as an all time great. Not sure if serious.
...But I'll bite. Since the 90's which other midfielders rate ahead of Ablett. Please don't say Judd. Gazza shits on him.

Very little, however it waaaaaaay overwhelms any sporting achievements.
Just like Oscar Pretorious should only be remembered for being a murderer.
Same with OJ.

For a couple of years when Judd was at W/coast he was better.
Why only since the 90s anyway?
except for Michael Jordan

I personally think Judd's peak was higher than Gablett's but Gablett peaked for longer.

PD is better right now than Judd ever was, the difference being Judd was great pretty much from game 1 through to his second last year.
PD started a little slower than Judd and needs to keep up his pace for another 4 seasons to be considered better. It'd take something pretty remarkable to make top 10 of all time though.
Buddy is up there but I don't think he's done enough to be top 10 of all time yet

No way, what a load of garbage. Care to explain how?
If Judd's 'Peak was higher' like you say. Why don't you put up the stats of Judd's 10 best games vs Ablett's 10 best games. (Or even his 3 best seasons v Ablett's best 3 seasons)
Judd has never had a single 40 possession game. Ablett not only would do so on a regular basis but would kick 3-4 goals to go with it.
Also, Ablett's skills were just better, does everything better than Judd. Kicks freakish goals that Judd could only dream of.
Put up the stats mate, if you think I'm wrong. Judd's best was better? Please.
