@@Hshshhxhxjdb His dad was definitely better. His Dad was the only player in my life where I actually watched every Geelong game just to watch him play... and I don't even support Geelong and I am not the only one. His son never came close to doing that.
The problem is and not just between Gary and Gary but every single player is different, they can play the same position but will always play it differently. So yes you can say that this person is better than this if it’s clear but when it comes to the legends of the game they are all equal, you just can’t pick
For almost 10 years he was by so far the best player in the comp. Best to ever play in my book. It's criminal that he only has 2 brownlows, he should have 5 or 6
U serious mate? By far the best in the comp. Another player called buddy franklin is also there. Buddy is the best of this generation. What he can do for a guy that's 2 metres is freaky. Only reason some people say ablett is coz he plays for Geelong and his dad. If buddy was white I'm sure they would give him more credit.
@@omaraz3161 There's no denying buddy is and has been an absolute star, but I'd have to hand it to Gary as being the best I've seen play and honestly really doubt race plays a part in many peoples opinion of Buddy, since when does he not get enough credit? Blokes an absolute gun and has some of the most memorable moments in modern footy (100 goals in a season and the 13 game to name a couple). Both greats that can win a game single handed. Just play different roles and makes a comparison difficult, personally they're the best I've seen (only 23) play in their positions.
@@ryanwaites6586 look. There have been many gun midfielders who have done what ablett has but there has never ever been a forward like Franklin. He can do anything and I mean anything. Best field kick. Almost 1000 goals in the modern era. Ablett is a gun but we have seen the abletts and judds and so on but know one has seen anything like a Franklin
Omar Az buddy been injured for the past 3 years and was only good for 4 when Gary Ablett has helped develop a club 350 games and 2 brownlows and will go down in history i can’t see buddy being noticed in the next 20 years
High Ex you really need to start comprehending fyfe ain’t that good. Ablett was the best footballer in the comp for 5 years with 15 other star studded sides and played with some of the greatest ever footy players for team mates, and Ablett was still the cream of the crop, fyfe plays with 21 spuds and they think he’s the greatest of all time like he’s taken 4000 marks 2000 tackles 1500 goals 0 behinds 5 premierships 5 brown lows 5 norm smiths with less than 100 games to his name.... no... he’s a flog who’s umpires pet.

Brad Scott's plan for Gary Ablett: nah we'll be rite, don't put anyone on him! I never understood how Scott showed Jr so little respect, every single time.
He was the pinnacle midfielder. It's funny how people are already starting to somewhat underrate him... Dusty this, Juddy that.. Gaz was the most well-rounded of them all - yet he still surprised us with freakish moments.
It was literally like watching a PE teacher play footy against his year 4 class, he was 20 steps ahead in everything he did and somehow made it all look easy
I think G Ablett Jnr. played his absolute best footy when he was at Gold Coast. It looked even better because players around him weren't that great, but he had to push himself to the next gear to get the best result for his team.
@Pr1zA definitely would've won a third brownlow, in my opinion it was on track to be one of the best seasons of his career if not the best until his injury. He played only 15 games and came 2nd in the brownlow with 22 votes. utterly ridiculous
I remeber Gazza giving me a football after the first game I ever watched of AFL. I didnt even like the sport but I watched him and all I wanted to do was be him. Gazza you are inspirational. We love you
Gazza, what a legend! He would have a million highlights. I hope the miracle goal from the boundary when he played for the Suns against the Cats makes it, that was an amazing moment!
The best footy player ever, there's no other player that can do everything he does. There's football before Garry and after Garry, main catalyst for the modern game and what is possible as an athlete
Garry your the greatest IAM 80I have been a cat fan all my life born in Geelong went 2 school you can't get any better than that.good luck 2 you and your family.
A true Gary Ablett Jnr was back in either 2008 or 9 playing North Melbourne, in that number two game maybe, they had him blocked in on the boundry and with just spacial awareness and running backwards he was able to make space out of nothing and was to me just the best example of a man in total control.
I’ve lived through both Snr and Jnr...and my opinion is rock solid. Snr is the best. If they both played on each other at their very best, Snr could stop Jnr but Jnr would not be able to stop Snr. But as a Geelong supporter, I feel very fortunate with all of it!
Junior is faster, lighter on his feet, plus he is a midfielder that can rip open a game without even trying and get 45 touches with 4 or 5 goals. Ablett snr could not stop jnr just the facts
Skindoggiedog at Carlton he couldn’t, his groins were horrible at Carlton. That’s why he didn’t have his explosive speed that made him the best kid ever at west coast, you don’t really know about 2000s football clearly
I’m a Richmond supporter and today we play him in his final game the grand finals and if Richmond lose I will not be mad and salty because Gary got his special ending for one the games greats
There’s no longer any doubt it’s a 2 horse race between Ablett junior and Leigh Matthews for the greatest of all time can’t split them but are in a league of their own
Omar Az buddy never stood up in the big games but granted he’s a rare player but there’s been thousands and thousands of midfielders and Gary is head and shoulders above all of them
@@obi-nine1504 massive call don’t get me wrong juddy is in my top 5 but injuries hindered him we can’t give him credit for games he didn’t play though unfortunately otherwise by that logic john Coleman is the greatest player in history look up what he did before he had to retire due to injury
Nice video but these clips could've shown a lot more of his elite midfield work and creativity along with his next-level handballing. It included some but this video is mostly all about his goals. GAJ's balance, skill and footwork is what I remember the most about him. Definitely worth showing his freakish goals but that wasn't what made him the best player in the game. A lot of afl highlights seem to just focus on goals unfortunately.
100% correct. Shortened his career by getting banged up , doing his shoulder and carrying a bottom four side for 5 years with no real help. Cats would of definitely won a couple more flags if he had stayed.
He would've helped to grow a suns supporter base, scored a Brownlow, got paid a stack of cash. The move was good for the game and was good for him. 357 games, hardly a shortened career.
If Babe Ruth spent his best years playing badminton or if Don Bradman didn't captain "the immortals", there would be Gary Ablett. And then we'd still have to discuss if we were talking about the father or son. When you watch highlights like these, or his dad's, the debate is over before it started.
Everyone says Gary Ablett senior is better than Junior because he’s kicked more goals but Gary Ablett senior was a forward. Gary Ablett Junior set up more goals he didn’t scores many because he set them up
I never thought their would be anyone better than Gary Ablett........... then Gary Ablett came along.
What? His dad was better
Both wonderful players in their own right. I don’t see the point comparing them coz they were so different from each other.

Judds best was better. But Gary did it for 10 years in a row.
Champions are to be admired...never compared and how lucky we all are to live during his playing years
The pace, the strength and the will. Thank you Gazza.
It was literally like watching a PE teacher play footy against his year 4 class, he was 20 steps ahead in everything he did and somehow made it all look easy
Best player of the modern era by a long long long way
It’s close between him and Judd, prime Judd was an absolute monster and Ablett even said the hardest match up was judd

Been an absolute honour watching you play Gaz the best I’ve ever seen 👑
Greatest player of the modern era.
The best footy player ever, there's no other player that can do everything he does. There's football before Garry and after Garry, main catalyst for the modern game and what is possible as an athlete
I was waiting for that Number 1. Collingwood scored once more in that game, so that goal pretty much won Geelong the 2007 flag.
Garry your the greatest IAM 80I have been a cat fan all my life born in Geelong went 2 school you can't get any better than that.good luck 2 you and your family.
Watched him ever since I was little. So sad to think he’s going to retire soon😭
Gold coast gary was unbelievable
Gaz junior is no doubt one of the all time greats. Let's not forget senior though. He was 1 of the most gifted footballers I have ever seen.
Yes. Junior was one of the best, Senior was the best
you don't have to like him, but you gotta respect his talent with the footy.
absolute legend
As a Carlton fan, he's the best player to ever live, and it's so sad seeing him retired.
Best ever. I used to watch him tear the roos apart every time he played us. It was ridiculous.
Don't know if Jnr is the best ever, but he's the best I've ever seen and I watched his old man play.
If the suns had Rowell, King, Ellis and Ablett they would be unstoppable
Imagine having Rowell and Ablett in the one team.
No, Ablett ruined the Suns because of how much he carried them.
Aussie Gaming no
Rowell's played 3 games haha, hes not Bontempelli just yet
JamWitUSD exactly he’s better idk why you would say bont say someone like sellwood
The 23rd one I remember as clear as day - like it was yesterday
Favourite player of all time.
Absolute gun!
I’m a pies fan but Garry abblett is a very watchable players 10/10
He's becoming a pretty good footballer.
he's been a beast since 2007 wdym
Haha
Vansh Jain I think he’s joking
Potential there, for sure.
15:55 one of the coolest things I have every seen.
Greatest small to play the game, Congrats Gazza!
Mind boggling. Early days i didn't think he would be that good, but imo the best plater since 2000
A true Gary Ablett Jnr was back in either 2008 or 9 playing North Melbourne, in that number two game maybe, they had him blocked in on the boundry and with just spacial awareness and running backwards he was able to make space out of nothing and was to me just the best example of a man in total control.
the best player in the comp for the 21st century.
Can we get an Ablett in traffic highlights video?
Yes! Those are his most impressive moments.
he went from being the son of THE MAN to being THE MAN
I’ve lived through both Snr and Jnr...and my opinion is rock solid.
Snr is the best.
If they both played on each other at their very best, Snr could stop Jnr but Jnr would not be able to stop Snr.
But as a Geelong supporter, I feel very fortunate with all of it!

thanks for the memories Gaz, sorry you couldn't get that happy ending on your last game :'''''(
Surely that clearance goal against Port has to be top 5.
the GOAT
7:28 damn how he do that is clean
Greatest individual effort you’re ever likely to see! Stepped up every time his team needed him
legendary
Greatest midfielder of all time, Judd behind him (if only he hadn’t been injury plagued)
Sean Dolan not the best Definitelyin too 5 though!
Judd couldn't kick to save his life.

Best to play the game. Hands down.
Ablett can snap from any direction.
And any foot. Left and right.
Damn time flies. Sad to see him retire. ☹ #littlemaster #goatstatus

The Little Master will probably end up going past them.
Buddy Franklin. What he does as a 2 metre forward is out of this world. We see many gun midfielders but we don't and won't see anyone like buddy again

Don't let Ablett's bump in the first clip distract you from the fact that Geelong blew a 54 point lead in that very match
Mabior Chol Appreciation Page shut up mate
Who cares ?
Classic Geelong
Wouldn’t be the last time too Ahahaha and I’m a feeling fan
The 41 dislikes never seen Ablett play
I mean we will always remember the time when Gold Coast were half decent - Gary!

How did him getting 52 disposals against Collingwood not make it??

he did everything better than anyone else back then...or since
My favourite player was for my own club, before the little master stole the show.
Ablett leaving Geelong was the biggest let down. The dynasty would have rolled on, but he copped out. So did Bomber Thompson. One big let down.
So basically every time he played north
Really miss Dennis Cometti's commentary ...
did you know that their was a video in these ads
so not knowing a ton about the sport (im american) you could say by watching this afl stands for Ablett's football league
The local paper changed it's name from the Geelong Advertiser to the Geelong Ablettiser for one edition, trying to convince him to stay at Geelong.
Go watch his old man's hilights. Just as amazing. Hope you follow the cats.
Wasted years a GC
Would have added a premiership at the cats is he stayed.

Probably more than one.
100% correct. Shortened his career by getting banged up , doing his shoulder and carrying a bottom four side for 5 years with no real help. Cats would of definitely won a couple more flags if he had stayed.
