But clearly, when you're as significant as John Worsfold, as a player, with that club's history and as a coach, well, yeah, it's a good learning.

But look, the Gary Ablett was the highlight, and they deliberately left him to bring...

the ceremony tour closed, so to speak.

And he was as open as he's ever been.

I mean, a lot of us have spoken to Gary Ablett over the journey and whenever a microphone's on, even if it's off the record, he's pretty guarded historically.

I mean, we've seen him and he does get deep, but he was really open last night and we could have chosen any number of particular references that he made.

Obviously the famous father he's got, the brother playing in the 2007 premiership.

And here's just one part of that presentation.

It's his reference to his great dad, Gary.

Like that little sledge at the end, like all good families can do.

But yeah, it was a theme of his acceptance and the legendary figure that his dad was.

And I still feel that he, Gary Ablett Sr., has to be put in as a legend.

I know there's complications around that, and we're not going to delve deep into that at the moment.

We all understand that.

But if you're going to judge him just as a footballer, he

to me, still was able to do things on a footy field that no one else has been able to do like him.

And I can see a world, guys, where maybe this is where the AFL could induct both Gary Senior and Junior on the same night.

And it might be the one way to get Gary Senior to go to the Hall of Fame.

Because even last night, he wasn't there.

And I know he's always been a recluse publicly, even when he was playing.
