The Age Footy Legend no 7: Gary Ablett Snr

Maybe, but having lived through ALL those you named, except Coleman, I will always have GAS as GOAT. 3 consecutive seasons of 120+ goals at his age is unsurpassable imho.

Especially in an era where players did not play well after 30. (Mind you, it was an era where forwards could kick centuries, too).

I've probably said this before here.
But I actually quit playing footy solely due to the fact that I was not getting to see him play every weekend.

And for the youngsters. We were playing on Saturday afternoons only back then. With the exception of the once a year Sunday game in Sydney.
