Ablett Senior. I was there for some of his greatest moments. 1989 GF, the "mark" over Pert, his 7 goal haul at Vic Park (the last three on one leg with a serious hamstring). There's no one else close.
We loved Daicos snr, but he was almost all freak goals. Ablett did that, and broke people in half, visited heaven, and covered ground in near-Olympic standard time.
Carey was stunning. The marks, the goals, took hits as well.
Back in them days Knights, Jesaulenko and Blight had plenty of highlights, but Fabulous Phil Carman had all three covered, a freak. Marks, goals, on the deck, and huge biffs.
Didn't see enough of Modra but it was pretty good stuff. I was at his first "senior" game, a preseason match at Waverly against a hapless Richmond. He seemed to be six foot eight, IIRC the headline was "Adelaide unveil Modra" like he was the atom bomb or something.
