Ablett
Here's a link to something on Ablett to let Carol know a bit about what we're talking about. He was a great footballer (I'm not able to judge Gary, whether he was the greatest in our lifetime - maybe Barassi? But then I'm biased). I wouldn't have thought Ablett was eligible for the AFL Hall of Fame yet - on account of the "character" criterion. But on football grounds he's a definite. Interesting, he was a professing Christian once. Is he still? I remember he had concerns about playing football on Sundays once, and also told the truth in a tribunal hearing when he decked Gary Lyon (before my eyes!) once.
Appreciated your personal thoughts and knowledge on Ablett, Michele. You have done a fair bit to redeem him in my eyes!!
