Moved Thread Who was/is the better player. Gary Ablett jnr or Dustin Martin?

[Aristotle Pickett]

Different players.
Ablett jnr was a dominant midfeider who accumulated possessions at will.
Dustin is the ultimate big game player and probably the greatest finals player of all time.

In Finals Dusty, home and away GAJ

 

[Dinsdale]

Lethal has them covered with his incredible stats.

Ablett JNR quite comfortably. Much better, and for longer. Did some unbelievable things with ball in hand. Martin enormous when it counted and will always be remembered for his Grand Final heroics.

Leigh Mathews and Wayne Carey would pick Dustin based on their past comments.

Ablett Jnr and it's not close.

Leigh Mathews said the only player he doesn't get insulted being compared to is Dustin.
Wayne Carey says Dustin has more influence on games than Gary.

I prefer Dustin.
More of a team man.

GAJ was bloody selfish with his running patterns.
Lots of loopy hanballs then run around for the one two so he can double his stats.

Dusty is always looking to move the ball fwd or to somebody in a better position.

 

[Falcon3518]

Ablett Jnr and it's not close.

Not in finals. I think a fair view is GAJ H&A and Dusty Finals. I think Final>H&A but that’s just my opinion.

Take it to the poll.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

All things being equal, the chances of one player winning 3 Norm Smiths in his 3 grand finals is 44 to the power of three which equals 85,184 to 1.

Lethal & Carey> Polls. Tbh this should be a 3 way with Judd in here to make it interesting.

You forgot to add only player ever to win all 3 major medals in the same season and 3 Garey Ayes Medals. One of a kind and will never be beaten

Ablett, but it's close. Seems to be forgotten that he can hold his head high after a one-that-got-away loss of 2008.

Can't really say the same for Martin re 2018, which is worth bringing up if we're saying finals performances are supposedly in his favour.

 

[Bianconeri]

Dusty, he’s much more impactful with the ball.

AP gets upset with the Hawkins v Riewoldt poll results.

Decides to start another poll.

Indications are that this poll result will also upset AP.

 

[Captain_Bender]

Dusty better in the big games

Yeah nah, the experts pick Jack Riewoldt snd Dusty.
I just like to see how deluded some posters are.

Couldn't you wait until Dusty retires.
Still has the Coleman to get.

Poll is going well for you no?

 

[STPer18]

Next poll will be Constagna vs Steve Johnson, and we'll get the same melts when the results don't go their way again...
