A long kicking wingman he was the first of the Ablett to establish himself as a VFL star. He was one of the fastest players during his era, winning the grand final sprint 3 years in a row. A knee injury in his first year set him back but upon his return he made an immediate impact, initially as a long kicking centerman but then as a free flowing wingman. He played in the 1976 & 78 premiership teams and was an important part of both teams. At the end of 1982 he had a dispute with the club and sought a clearance to Richmond which was eventually given. Ablett had a bad run with injuries whilst at Richmond and ended up having a year at St Kilda at the end of his career.
Where is he now? Ablett is the mayor of City of Casey
