Gary Ablett, a truly gifted football player, recruited from Myrtleford by Bill McMaster who witnessed enough ‘magic’ to suggest he would fit into Geelong’s plans after a short stint at Hawthorn. For 12 years he displayed his awesome ability, there was no skill he did not possess, his marking at times spectacular as it was breathtaking, with a mighty leap he was literally flying to meet the ball securing it in a vice like grip. He had a powerful build, which enabled him to shrug off his opponents or burst through a pack, with the ability to kick goals from over 60 metres with monotonous regularity. With the excitement he generated supporters and football followers travelled many kilometres to see him play and they were never disappointed. Gary had the capability of winning a game off his own boot and inspired his teammates with the special genius of his play. His performance in the 1989 Grand Final was brilliant as he displayed the best facets of Australian Football that day. He has left a legacy wherein Gary Ablett is one of the greatest players to have played the game.
