More on Gary Ablett
Description from Wikipedia:
Gary Robert Ablett, senior (born 1 October 1961) is a retired professional Australian rules football player, best known as a prolific goalkicker and spectacular marker of the ball. Widely considered one of the greatest and most gifted football players of all time, he is credited with having had the capacity to thrill more fans than any other player during his day with his performances, where his mercurial skillset allowed him to dominate Australian football for almost a decade.
After a debut season with Hawthorn in 1982, Ablett did not play VFL football in 1983. The Geelong Football Club managed to lure him back to the VFL in 1984, where he eventually settled down to become one of football's biggest superstars of the late '80s and early '90s.
Ablett's individual accolades and achievements include induction into the AFL's Hall of Fame, selection in the AFL Team of the Century, selection in the Geelong Football Club Team of the Century, the 1993 AFLPA MVP award (now known as the Leigh Matthews Trophy), three Coleman Medals, nine All-Australian jumpers, eleven State representative jumpers for Victoria, a Norm Smith Medal, a Carji Greeves Medal as the 1984 Geelong Best & Fairest Player, and being the leading goal-kicker for the Cats on nine occasions. He holds the record for most goals in a Grand Final when he scored nine goals and one behind in 1989, and is the only player to have won the Coleman Medal and kicked 100 goals in three consecutive seasons. In 2006, Ablett was voted by all past and present Geelong Football Club players as the greatest Geelong footballer of all time.
