In the 21 games leading up to that 1995 Grand Final, Ablett kicking 122 goals 82 behinds.
He kicked 4 goals or more in 20 of those 21 games. The exception was against Sydney in R2 where he kicked 3.3.
He had on average 9.7 shots on goal over that same period.
The last time he played us, he kicked 4.5.
In the Grand Final - he kicked 0.3. Silvagni was his opponent the entire game.
IMO he was 2nd BOG behind Diesel.
Ablett would have had to play in defense to get more opportunities, the Mids and Forwards put Geelong to the sword!
Silvagni had 1 effective spoil. But I'll let you pump up his tyres and ignore the other Mids and Forwards, it's your version of history!
FWIW, I had Spalding as our second best on the day and by some margin, but he was light years behind Williams for BOG!
