13 more to get to 50 possessions with a quarter to go
Absolute star and why wouldn't he goto the GC and have a chance at another flag.

Would be a massive way to go out. What's his possession record?
Remember the people that said he would struggle at the GC without any superstar teammates taking the pressure off and blocking for him? Tonight is the reality. He doesn't need any help.
Swan has had the best season but Gazza has shown he is the best player in the comp, has had no help what so ever and his 3rd quarter has been brilliant.
no offense to Swan but he has recieved a lot of his ball tonight, not his fault he is playing in the better team and can afford the luxury.

Remember the people that said Geelong wouldnt skip a beat if he left because they have such great midfield depth? Tonight is the reality.

Yep. Best player in the comp by a decent margin. Although a fit Judd would give him a run for his money.
If they continue to be forced to handpass around in little circles he should notch up 50.
Out of the amassed possessions he was bound to get a few of them to count for something, too many have been short handpasses because the pies are all over them not for his lack of endeavour.

Surely the best player in the competition is the man who's had the best season? Swan's consistency over the course of the season has been phenomenal and he's been very good again tonight.
As good as Ablett's been tonight he hasn't been the competition's best player as he was in 08 and 09. Top 2 or 3 but Swan best and easy.

He's had the best season and deserves the mantle as the competitions best at the moment but I still consider Ablett and Judd better players.
They played Ablett down forward to try and 'learn' how they'd play without him, and develop the players to replace him.
If he was in the middle all year, he'd probably have another Brownlow.

what's the bet ablett's gunna pull a lebron james; 1 hour tv special "the decision"
His reaction after the game makes it seem as if it may have been his last game. Or he could just be absolutely shattered.
Ablett was magnificent tonight, absolutely magnificent.
If there was ever any doubt as to whether he was leaving the GFC, I think his reaction after the siren removed any.
Champion.

Champion.
Leaving or not I expect that he would have looked like that. It's that sort of passion and drive that makes him so good (yes, he has a bucketload of talent too, but that's useless without drive).
Freely admit he impressed the hell out of me tonight.

Why did Thompson spell him at FF in the last and not give him the chance to rack up 50 touches in a losing finals team?
1: He had the most equal Inside 50s for the game.
2: He had 12 contested possessions, 3rd most for the game.
3: He had 16 kicks, 12 were effective.
That proves otherwise.
didnt watch the third quarter?
