he is the AFL's michael jordan, boxing mahummad ali, baseballs babe ruth and a little bit more by far and away the greatest player our game has ever seen
Years ago, a friend of mine was given a tape from someone at channel 7. It was the video that came out with Gazza playing at Whoreforn and finished in '91 I think. A mate and myself went though our videos and added the rest of his games to it, including all of his big hits. I have a chest of videos that I really should put on to dvd.
@SuperGazza5 The tape which starts in 1982 playing for Haw and finishes in 1990, I have it on VHS and DVD. It goes on for around 60 minutes. When I first saw it back in 1992 the footage was in average bootleg quality.
The mark against Collingwood at 25:48 ... 😲😲I was at this game with my brothers and have no recollection of this!! 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ That's one of his best marks ever!!! According to AFL Tables, that was 08/06/87 and Gazza had 15 kicks, 6 marks and 2 handballs for 4.2. @xtremeactionvideos, can you possibly upload that mark in another video and have the lead-up plus let the footage go a bit longer afterwards so we can hear more crowd reaction plus the commentary? Thanks very much for this compilation as well!! 👍
Trust ABC to ruin the mark. A photographer took a pic behind the goals which I've seen and it truly is a sensational screamer. This footage doesn't do it justice. Remember David Cloke is 6 foot 5 and Ablett had both knees on his shoulders.
@stuartcallaghan3285 Pity ABC ruined it. 3 times in 1987 they did this with Ablett Snr. This screamer, a mark vs Sydney at Kardinia Park and another vs North at MCG.
Ablett claimed difficulty coping with city life in Melbourne and his continual absenteeism from training sessions forced Hawthorn coach, Allan Jeans into parting ways with the talented, but wayward young half forward.
