i was just thinking about if the hawks had kept him what could have happened to the hawks in the 90s. but most of all they would have had gaz jr and probably nathan now, imagine that
@bennyg44 I also thought that, i'm not a hawks or cats man but i feel bad that he never won a premiership. And if he stayed with the hawks they would've dominated even more! And now with Hodgey, Franklin and if they had Jnr they would Pwn the league.
watched this genius when l was in my teens, now l get to see his son play afl at such a high standard. to all those people going on about buddEEEEctasy franklin l just want to say you are all fucking retarded. buddy is a fucking loser both in and out of the playing field. what he said after the carlton supporter gave him back the 100 goal ball proves he is a dead set loser. l cant wait til this fuckwit gets his third strike and fucks off out of footy forever.
if you want to see some funny comments then go to west coast vs geelong- pieces with inches or some crap like that on here! You might get a few laughs....
how could people compare him to buddy seriously buddy has never taken a specky his never kicked a bag over 10 gary ablett didnt even play full forward till the end of his career he played on the wing and a flank and he still kicked shit loads of goals
ablett kicked a bag of 14 3 times he took a lot of specky's and was a good kick he took lots of pack marks, if buddy ever wants to be near the standards of ablett then he needs to kick goals from set shots and if he took half as many speckys as ablett did then i would say his a ledgend
it sure has. and i don't know why a lot of people see smaller individual goal totals as a bad thing. the goals are spread a lot more evenly now which shows great teamwork and unselfishness.
Couldn't agree with you more....there's no doubt Franklin is only going to get better, but the current hype is way way over the top. Hawthorn fans especially should know better. Jason Dunstall had great defensive skills that Franklin has barely pursued. And as you pointed out, Ablett Snr. regularly got into double figures..just ask Richmond fans from that time.
I wish Gary Ablett would have won a Grand Final, I am a Carlton supporter, but hey hats off to a legend of our beautiful game. The greatest player i've ever seen, even better than carey, who by the way a fantastic player, and what a shame he had to get into drugs and shit.
Who can forget thet day? No shame going down to one of the two supreme outfits of the last 25 years (HAWTHORN and BRISBANE). Now 'CATTERS', your 'golden age' has arrived, and what better opportunity to join that illustrious list of football 'HEAVYWEIGHTS'. You have the 'talent', the 'belief', the 'intelligence' and the 'courage' to bring back the 'HOLY GRAIL' to KARDINIA Park. Enjoy the 'quest'!!
west coast are one of the supreme outfits.people seem to forget they have the best winning percentage out of any other team in the afl,have featured in 5 grand finals one 3 premierships and been in every finals series exept 3. thats quite awesome
Point taken 'Minderone'..but still..three premierships in a row (and four GF appearances in a row)in this modern day is not to be sneezed at..so for me that puts Brisbane a little bit ahead of the 'Weagles' And Hawthorn's five flags from eight GF appearances between'83 and '91 stands alone in modern football history...Now let's hope the mighty 'CATS' are about to climb similar mountains.
i said west coast are ONE of the supreme outfits.hawthorn won those premierrships in the VFL not the AFL theres a difference. i judge the supreme outfits of the afl also on membership numbers and profits,in which west coast are the weathiest club and second in membership behind collingwood.
Collingwood
West Coast
Geelong
Hawthorn
Not brisbane they won 3 premierships in a row which is quite a fete,but thats finished now.
Why dont you write about why the Weagles were supreme? l will... a little thing called steriods. How can anyone explain the massive tranformation in muscle mass from 1990 to 1991 of Glenn Jakovich and Guy Mckenna etc... Why did they run away from a random drug test? lf only they were tested like today! Who is the pharmacist? Worsfold, then last year Worsfold didnt know the extent of Cousins and drugs! BULLSHIT...Eagles, the cheats and liars of the VFL/AFL.Hope they have 10 years of shit results.
Well..I think you're being a bit pedantic..VFL or AFL...The VFL at the time of Hawthorn's eightie' success was the premier comp in the nation and comprised interstate teams..it would only be a matter of time before a name change occured. As for your comment on membership numbers, yes they are important, but..tell me honestly..what is the number one objective of each football club each year?...to have the most members or to win a premiership?
yes and west coast have won 3.been in 5.all i am saying is they are one of the premier teams in the comp and i honestly dont know how that can be denied
I'm not disagreeing with you (WEST COAST being one of the more successful teams of the last 25 years)..I only think there are two, maybe three (Essendon) who are ahead of them..they may well have been on their way to outright greatness if they had nipped their druggie culture in the bud (in the manner GEELONG dealt with STEVE JOHNSON and his indiscretions).
Half this shit wouldn't even make Franklin's highlight reel

Gary Ablett is the greatest player in the history of the game.
He simply did what no other could do or have dont since.
Love him or hate him - he is a sporting legend.
Raise your glass to AFL royality! Thanks for the memories Gary, Cheers!
