With the news that Ablett just won the Suns best & fairest I was wondering who would be the oldest player to ever win a club best & fairest? Could it be Ablett as a 33 year old? I checked a couple that I thought could have possibly been older but they were both younger, Brent Harvey being 32 and Riewoldt 31 when they both won their last b&f.

So who is the oldest b&f winner and who is the oldest from your club as well?

So wait a shit campaigner that only played 14 games half heartedly according to BF won GC Best and Fairest, what a basket case of a club.
I don't think anyone has ever said he's a shit campaigner. Some have questioned how many games he has missed and his leadership.

He's obviously still a star, who Geelong should have to give a bit up for if they want to obtain a contracted player.
