Only 67 y/o. Played two games in 1985 for Geelong. I recall though Rd 21 1984, when both Geoff and Kevin played for Richmond and youngest bro Gary Sr was with Geelong...the Cats kicked 6.14.50 in the 1st quarter!

I'm probably wrong, but did Kevin and Gary both get suspended on the same day one time?

Rest in Peace, Kev. Kevin was Luke Ablett's dad, wasn't he? Luke played in a Premiership with Sydney in 2005.

That's right. Gary and Geoff's brother, Luke's father and GAJ and Nathan's uncle. What happened to Luke? He played almost every game for the Swans from 2004 to 2008 then only played 13 in 2009, got delisted and suddenly his career was over at 26.

RIP, Kevin. 67 is too young.

Vale. Such a young age too.
