Gary Ablett Jnr averages more disposals against the Cats than any other team
The Cats are Gaz’s bunnies! He averages 30.50 disposals against us, the most against any side. The Cats will have one less headache to worry about against the Suns next year.

Gary Ablett Jnr has kicked more goals at Kardinia Park than any other venue
Gaz loves the home of the Cats. Who can forget his goal against us in 2013 from the Players Stand pocket. The last time he ran out in the blue and white hoops it was Skilled Stadium and his next home game there it will be GMHBA Stadium meaning he never played a home game at Simonds Stadium.

Gary Ablett Jnr averaged as many disposals in 2017 (33) as he has for any season in his career
He may be getting older but he’s not slowing down. This season, Ablett equalled his season high of averaging 33 disposals per game. Pretty hard to find one that was wasted as well.

With Gary Ablett Jnr joining Joel Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield, the Cats now have the top three career Brownlow vote-getters of all current active players
Of all the players who will run out for their teams in 2018, none have polled more Brownlow votes than Ablett, Selwood and Dangerfield who have 580 votes combined. Even more impressive if they have combined for 119 three-vote games.

Only six players on the Cats list have played with Ablett
This will be a very different Cats side that Gaz runs out with. Only six players (Taylor, Smith, Menzel, J Selwood, Duncan, Hawkins) have played alongside Ablett in his career. Even more exciting is the fact that it will be the first time he plays with fellow Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield.
