Hi Bay.
It continues to be true.
Even in 2010 ( a poor year by Franklin's standards ) he was statistically better than Ablett in 1989 (Ablett's best year). Particularly when you take into consideration all the zoning and double-teaming that didn't happen in Ablett's day.
This year Franklin's stats are better still.
Budwah is '20 and 3' ing, with 20 disposals and 3.6 goals a game. If he continues to maintain he'll end up with a 20 disposal average in a season (something Ablett has never come close to).
As a half forward Ablett played full forward a lot, which pumped up his goal average, while Franklin remains a pure half-forward. His stats of 20 disposals and 3.6 goals a game this year are pretty crazy.
And the tackle comparison is just embarassing for Ablett, with Franklin thrashing him here.
Granted, Ablett was the flashier player, but it can no longer be denied that Franklin is just outperforming him now.
Regards,
HP.
