I was lucky enough to see Gazza play on many occasions. Including 89 prelim and GF. I was there when he kicked 14 against Richmond in 89 and 14 against Essendon in 93. Watched him kick 11 against Melbourne one day and 11 against Nth. I saw the best of Gazza. I can’t speak for everyone but I can say this on my behalf, Gary Ablett Snr is the best footballer I have ever seen . And I’ll take that to the grave.
Still the best footballer I’ve seen so far in my lifetime. An outrageous combination of strength and pure skill. What other player has a highlight reel like this?
Gary ablett was an explosion of biological evolution. A once in a century phenomenon. I look at how players kick a goal from 50 today and the commentators go crazy about it yet Gary would nail them from 60 - 70m like it was absolutely nothing.
From 1992 to 1996, he kicked 516 goals in 102 games, averaging 5.1 goals per game. He kicked 375 of his 1021 goals with Geelong, when he won three consecutive Coleman Medals and kicked 100 plus goals in the same year. (1993; 129, 1994; 122, 1995; 124). Between 1993 and 1995, he averaged close to a half dozen goals per game. Between 1985 and 1990, playing on the half forward flank and wing, he kicked nearly 4 goals per game when he booted 444 goals in 113 games. He even kicked nine goals in a losing grand final side against the mighty Hawks where he made a six game cameo in 1982 with 11 goals.Even when he left in 1996, he kicked 69 goals in 17 matches averaging 4.1 goals per game.
Best player I have ever seen in my 50 years…..he had it all….strength, size, speed, skill and footy brain…..imagine him playing today…..he would dominate…..top 5 player of all time in my opinion

Anyone who doesn't think he was the greatest ever AFL footballer is just kidding themselves.

A cross between Wayne Carey and Peter Daicos.

Bomber fan. Been around for 45 years. Seen quite a few all time greats. Ablett the greatest.
Ben I'm a Hawthorn supporter and that is simply the most enjoyable footy package I've seen in years. Well done.
No one else’s showreel comes close to this… even Carey’s

He was a freak of nature.
The best there ever was, the best there will ever be. LEGEND
No footballer had the combination of power , speed, athletic ability and skill like Gary Ablett senior. We'll never see his like again.
Best highlights you will ever see from one player. His sheer determination for the ball is like no other. One of a kind, genius
I doubt we will ever see another this good.
Ablett was a player with freakish skills. And he always had the best players to compete against. Incredible to watch.
Long before Robbie Williams sang "Let me Entertain you"
Will NEVER be another player like him. Truly a blessing from god this man was!
