Best Player Ever?So the best player ever played with an average group? Doesn’t change he is the best player.
Best Player Ever?
I dont think so..
MAYBE the most exciting...
Wayne Carey, Ron Barassi, Leigh Matthews.. They could be in the GOAT catagory, and they all dragged thier team across the line multiple times for multiple flags.
Ablett was surrounded by all time champs of the game between 89 to 95, and yet failed 5 times to win it....
Spare the hubris mate

Gary Ablett Sr easily.
So many mentions of Goodes, but he'd be way too slow to keep up with many great midfielders once the ball hit the deck.

Goodes was fast, faster than most give him credit for. He ran out of the stoppage with opposition players not landing a finger on him more than once.

Imagine what rough could've achieved if he didn't play stop-gap for half his career.For those saying Buddy, if it’s gonna be any Hawk - it’s Roughie.
Buddy was superb with the ball in hand, but he’d be useless in the guts. Roughie on the other hand is slightly behind him in terms of run, better on the lead and mark and would easily trounce him if put in the middle.
Plus, Roughie was a pinch ruck to boot.
Winning a premiership as a player doesn't make you a better footballer, thats american rubbish.
Those guys played in far better teams than Ablett did.
Who care these champions ablett played with?
And to a very large number of people Ablett is the goat with a great deal of daylight between him and whoever might be next.
Trivia: an anagram for "we love Gary Rohan" is "lovely Ranga whore"23 Gary Rohans would be like a bushfire coming at you
Start calling cop shops and hospitals?What would the coaches do on weeknights when the 22 Ablett Snr clones failed to show up for training?
