1993 AFL - Gary Ablett ch9 footy show 

Shame they couldn't get a few more guys on the panel

so many colourful characters on the show. so different from the AFL media today.

Watching in 2020. Gary Snr is the best player I have ever seen. Feeling nostalgic and sad seeing some people that have since passed away, Lou Richards, Ted Whitten, Max Walker. Buggered if I know how Sam Newman is still going strong.

Gary Abblet Snr was the best player in the VFL/AFL of all time ⏲️ Simply Marvellous 😅

Probably the last interview the great man ever did hahaha. Had the pleasure of seeing almost all of Gary's games live. An enigma and a supremely talented player. They'll never, ever be another Gary Ablett senior

What a legend and humble as always

Interesting fact. Gary Ablett rarely did interviews, so him being interviewed on the "Footy Show" Grand Final eve edition in 1993 rated so well, that it led to the "Footy Show" (which was only on Sunday mornings back then) to be commissioned for a Thursday night, nighttime version which of course, was the "Footy Show", which then became an institution in TV for the next 25 years.

Ablett seems like a really great bloke. Humble and stuff!

Hate when people say he’s weird and a bit different, he’s so normal... people just don’t like it when someone’s humble and softly spoken, people in the world want arrogant brash people.

I use to live a few streets away from gray Ablett snr and I’ve met him a few times, he really is a great bloke, very humble, loves his family and footy. He is never once up himself or arrogant.

It is sad to watch this knowing how many of these men died very quickly after this show.

The original Footy Show from '93 its first year on a Sunday morning. Great panel.. Hosted By Maxie Walker... The Thursday night Footy Show started in '94... I definitely preferred this one with Maxie..

Not a Sam Newman fan - but you can tell here that he understands TV in a way most of the rest of the panel don't

Apparently Harvey Silver told Ablett, or his manager, that he would not receive the car if he didn't appear on the show. Ablett reluctantly agreed to appear

The greatest player who ever lived.

Very philosophical responses from Gary. Very well spoken man.

I 2 love my coco so when I don't have it I love watching those that may have...not jealous...envious

Abeltt was always an still is a very humble man.

Gary Ablett was a good judge of who would win the Grand final that year in Essendon.

There's no comparison he's the Best👊 the reason I started baricking for Geelong 👌so exiting to watch 😊

Yaaaaaaablet!

I had gary ablett jumper as a teen. Love the old style Adidas jumpers.

Awesome, what a panel!

Greatness personified

Ablett was above anyone at that table as a player in full flight...and they all knew it.

Our GREATEST

Not enough blokes squashed in the desk .

Imagine what a bloody nightmare Hawthorn would have been if they'd had Ablett as well!

sunday morning childhood tv

I had that jumper that garry is wearing...bout 40 years ago

Wow. Hello childhood.

when he smiles/laughs you can see ablett jnr

Imagine how many more goals Gazza would've kicked if he had played full forward.

Gary is the ONLY down to earth person there. All the rest are money hungry love me do's.

RIP Teddy Whitten

Like Father like son . True thoroughbreds 🥇🥇

So Many Legends in awe of the great man yet Lou cracks a Gag 😃 😄 😁 😆 😅

OmG 32 in 82 so so so old

My favourite all-time player. Second IMO is his son, Jnr.

Yablett !

How did Max get tangled up with that legendary lot?

Back when Australia was Australia... before it became Australasia

Gary Ablett seemed like a great guy. Pity he got into drugs. Went south after that

Was Sam hinting Ablett was taking drugs to enhance his super strength

MAAAXX WALLLKEER billy birmingham

He’s weird because He’s Not Like You… He’s Brilliant….

He was 32. Looks like he's 55

Legends all. But you spell ablett g.o.d

the good old days, so shit now

Abletts a well spoken bloke, I don't know why channel 7 did give him a media job. I forgot they only like arrogant players

Lebron

Sad to say he was a prick of a kid at school and his teachers never forgave him.

Sam is drunk
