Geoff was one of the best players in the league at his peak.plugger66 wrote:degruch wrote:That's got to be the winner, doesn't it? Poor Geoff (an ex-Saint too!), Gary was a universe away from him.Mr Magic wrote:Gary Ablett and his brothers Geoff and Kevin
Geoff played around 200 games so he could play. Kevin wasnt so good.
Kevin was famous for taking the headband off Bruce Doull. Doull went nuts.

Stevo did play again after doing his knee against Essendon (he had 5 goals up before half time), eleven games in fact. However, as you say, with no knee ops, and at just 25 his career was effectively over. Never knew he had a brother.
There's the Cordys from Footscray. All average players, and one a worse commentator.

True. Sorry Geoff. Gablett Snr just cast such a huge shadow...it'd really suck for the sibblings.plugger66 wrote:degruch wrote:That's got to be the winner, doesn't it? Poor Geoff (an ex-Saint too!), Gary was a universe away from him.Mr Magic wrote:Gary Ablett and his brothers Geoff and Kevin

That being the case then, I rate Gary v Alan Sidebottom as chalk and cheese.

The other brother was Shane who was also going to come to us but chose not to wait for the Foschini court case that would ultimately allow Paul Morwood to play for us.degruch wrote:There was a brace of Moorwoods too, Tony (Swans) and Paul (Swans and Saints), who were good...possibly another at Collingwood who was a bit average? Paul was useful for us, if I remember correctly.
Paul won a B&F for us in the late 80's (1986?)
