Best Player Ive ever seen. I respect him for his footballing talents, but have never personally met the man.
Caroline Wilson's opinion matters zilch to me.

Besides, Ablett was an out and out championd footballer, but is an absolute failure as a human being.
To say that she is right in calling Ablett "sad and deluded" says alot about you garth. I'm sure you've made mistakes in your life that you've regretted so I guess that makes you an absolute failure as a human being also.

garth p said:Moron.
Oh it's ovoius I'm 20 bad things equivaelent to "moron;" just like it's very obvious I'm not a "moron," whatever else i am.
AND the topic's not me. Noone should waste 5 seconds on "you or me: moron!"
the topic at hand is Gary Ablett - FOOOTY FOOTY FOOTY - topic of the forum - I thought I'd pyull the ultimaate joker - i.e., GA top 3 player of AFL/VFL/feakin SANFL-WAFL history....
Aber'lettttt! top 3 player of our lifetimes....
my first instinct (by miles) is to f'ing STICK up for him; let the non-facts fall where they may in the midfield against THE FACTS...&then, we all **** up; it's true.
---------------------------------------------------------------
If our corrupted world treats you like a God day-to-day.....
would YOU turn into
a Good
or
into
a Danger???
A God or a Demon?????
you'll behave like a devil.....l unless you're an Angel, which 99% people aren't. The one's you meet who are intooo God etc... are more likely to be gung-ho about daily morality; they're also MORE likely to be DODGY.
CFC gotta get more of the ball to Pendlebury.....train him for September!
Oh well I can (just) read THAt,
& I can tell, I'm ****ed, (from 1/4 time actually,)
but yeahnah, that has enough for a paragrqaph imho, ,//// this isn't the Indepent; it's Bigfooty.dot con,..

As I read it he simply stated the fact that she was an adult and was taking drugs and therefore must bear some responsibility of of the risks associated with drug taking.
18-19 y/o kids generally have no concept of the risks associated with taking these types of drugs, especially when she's ****ing a bloke who is her idol and is middle aged. Somehow I don't think she would have done it if she knew she would die.
But how do you apologise for something like that? Being (albeit partly) responsible for someone's life ending would be such a traumatic thing, I have no idea if I'd be able to cope with it.
Incredibly sad.
I don't feel sorry for Gazza.
It was obvious during his playing days that he's not all there. Maybe some of his morals went to God early on.
Like many who retire, their legend grows over time and if I recall correctly. He did not captain a team & he only won 1 B&F.
A great needs to do more than just turn up and light up the stadium, even when the lights aren't on upstairs.
He was a fantastic player for Geel & Vic, but he is a vague shell of a normal person.

After all that what did he say in the interview?
Its good to see eveyone thinks the same way about Caro too.

What about Robert Walls? He ****s me more than either because when you watch a channel 10 game, and you want to hear commentary from someone good like Hudson or Quatermaine, you have to hear his crap. (I know for live games you can listen to the radio, but what about the delayed Saturday afternoon ones?). Then you hear his misinformed crap continue in the paper along with Sheahan and Wilson.
Seriously we should start a campaign to remove these three (especially Walls). Get rid of hack journalists who know **** all about football. There are quite a few posters on bigfooty who would do a far better job than all three of them.

Oh my...even a newbie to AFl football could describe Ablett better.
He is the best we have seen...Carey is 2nd to Ablett without a doubt.
jozeph said:
To paraphrase he just basically said he was pi$$ed at the media for turning a big positive into a negative.
As far as Caro is concerned, what can you say? She's a waste of space pure and simple.
powinc - I'm sure he wouldn't be looking for pity from anyone anyway. As far as B&F's and all the other awards on offer is concerned, who gives a rats what he won. He let his footy do the talking.
Jarka - Yes it was very sad what happened and I'm sure there's not a day goes by that if some moron decided to bring it up in converstion that he wouldn't feel literally sick.
This is not directed at you Jarka but like I've already said on this thread, what the f*ck do does everyone expect the guy to do? Sure he has been a little naive to trust the tossers at Ch 9 that they could actually do the right thing by him but sh|t, I reckon if he even left a sh|t stain on a toilet bowl in a hotel he'd get front page!
He doesn't want everyone's pity. He just wants everyone to build a bridge, a big one, and move the hell on!
Also, he did captain Geelong, and he won 3 Coleman medals. He broke the 1000 goal mark when he played half his career on the wing and half line. His footy speaks for itself.
I've never met him personally so I have no idea what he's like. He's a man just like any other man and we are all flawed. Depression is a terrible disease, it's not something to be ridiculed.
What happened to him selling his memorabilia?

gary ablett is an ordinary guy with an extraordinary talent.
hes not the worst bloke on the planet by a long shot, hes not the first person to be inadvertently involved in someone elses death, especially from drugs and hes not the first person to take a wrong turn in life.
what gives anyone here the right to comment on who he is as a human being?
just because hes a high profile footballer, doesnt automatically mean hes going to be a saint as well.

While I agree with your sentiments, the right to comment is something that God gave to us when he installed our mouths and half a brain. We have the privilege to comment here because of the wonderful site owners whoever they may be. Whether we should exercise that right and that privilege, is an entirely different moral question.
i agree with him that the media can and will take a spin on a story. his mistake was thinking that he could have the last say with channel 9. the media always wins.

I know this thread is about Gary but the boundaries were pushed when Chapman35magic says that Wayne Carey is 2nd behind Ablett.
What an absolute load of rubbish!
Wayne Carey has also done some dubious things but there is one no two things that he will always have over Gary Ablett in making him a better player and they are called being the CAPTAIN of PREMIERSHIP TEAMS something Gary never had or never will have any knowledge of.
I agree that Caroline Wilson needs to pull her ugly head in because the moral high ground stuff is getting very very tedious and the fact that she now sits next to Rex Hunt and has absolutely nothing to say about his deeds just shows what a hypocrite she really is.

Premiership team? Can hardly judge Ablett on that. We are talking about who is a better player at an individual level. Premierships aren't in the equation here.
Ablett was superior...both feet, pace and strength. This man is the best to play the game, and the most talented to play the game by an absolute mile.
Carey was an absolute gun, make no mistake about it, but Ablett takes the cake.
LongBomb said:
Also, by Kangafruity's standards so is Warren Tredrea and John Worsfold.
Excellent interview.
In it, Gary revealed all the crap that 9 engaged in (and publicly canned them for doing it).
Hutchy mentioned tonight that Gary WILL publicly apologise for his involvement in the Alisha Horan matter and that from next year, he'll be seen more often publicly.

hahaha how funny you are
Wayne Carey captained his club over a long period of time that saw the Kangaroos have their most successful era ever.
Team success is what it is all about and he lead the team to success something Gary wasnt able to do (dont have to be the captain to lead either leadership can come in all forms)
As for strength you are delullisional if you think that Gary Ablett was stronger than Wayne Carey
His brilliance in turning games our way when the chips were down is something he will be renowned for as long as history is recorded.
How many times did Gary Ablett captain the All Australian Team, that an team honour too is it?
Dont get me wrong Gary was good but Wayne was better

Ablett - One Special Season (1993)
Please watch this video....
FWIW, Ablett kicked more 1030 goals playing most of his football on the wing/flank...
Ablett >>>>>> Carey
