I still thing clubs would've taken a punt on Ablett earlyThe current argument is about favourable recruiting conditions for Vic teams helping them win flags. Tomahawk would have been pick 1 but he wasn't a factor in 2007 and 2009 flags. In 2011 he was a fringe player who had a good GF against an injured opponent with a big limp. He did play a massive role in 2022 though.
Nathan Ablett barely played any junior footy at a decent level - he wouldn't have been drafted if he wasn't son of God. Gary probably would have been, but not early.
