Hall of Famer
These are our opinions based on our own football support over our lifetimes, my case 47 years of seeing Geelong's games. Those who are old enough to be able to compare the skills of Ablett vs Nash, Todd, Coleman etc. can state their opinions and comparisons. Ablett may have been a flawed genius, but nobody who has seen what he could do ALL OVER THE GROUND could dispute his genius as a footballer. His total package of spec marks, >60m goals on the run or standing start, tackling, speed on the ground etc. does not need to be rehashed, or maybe it does.It's impossible to say that Ablett was the best ever individual talent ever to play.
Unfair to the likes of Laurie Nash, Ron Todd & John Coleman.
So in my lifetime, and talking to those who have seen all those mentioned, it is possible for me to say Ablett is the best ever etc.. and there, it's been said again.
