Ambulance was called to the ground when the incident happened. Wonder the circumstances - eg was he running back with the flight?

I can't figure out when that would have been.

They ask him about his retirement, but I swear he looked 50 when he retired. Probably from all the rip snorting.

Did he retire between Hawthorn and Geelong?
I think it's an actor, unless hair plugs were a thing back then

Uh look maybe I'm missing a joke but you know that isn't him right?

Early days of dicking around during the broadcast...

Ablett Snr retired (some time) after losing a quarter final to North Melbourne in 1996; https://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/G/Gary_Ablett0.html

In terms of when that video was recorded, the score line for all of the games Essendon ever played against Richmond are available here:

Sort by away games, then scroll through the 90s looking for a first quarter score of 3.1 in the 'for' column. Result? Round 1, 1998:

Oh I didn't realise it was an actor. Context helps, I guess; I just assumed it was before my memories of him (~1994).
It's Tim Winton fwiw.
