He was the best ever.
Put him in the regimented modern game, and he'll still figure a way to entertain.

To the people having a whinge about Ablett not marking this ball - how about you actually watch this match - Steven O'Dwyer touched the ball almost literally and was paid the mark.
Ablett also narrowly missed the shot on goal after taking this mark. He kicked 7.7 for the day.

Shouldn't be a mark. He didn't have control.

When he hits the ground, he was holding the ball.
Technically, the mark was taken when he hit the ground.
Yes, he did not control it in the air, but had it at ground level.
Your statement though is valid because without looking closely, I would have thought the same thing.

He's the king of marks that should never have been paid.

Then perhaps you need to watch his career highlights.
Perhaps then you'll rescind that statement...
Watch his 1994 'Mark of the Year'. One of the best leaps ever, but the mark was not taken above head. He flicked the ball down under his arm and carried it down controlling it.
When he landed on his back, the ball understandably got knocked out.
Most people don't even realise he was a top player in the mid 80s on the wing/half forward line...
Only 4 seasons at full-forward.
