MORE than 300 people had the pleasure of meeting and listening to former AFL star Gary Ablett at Shepparton’s Woolshed last weekend, when the ‘Little Master’ featured as the guest speaker at two weekend functions hosted by the Shepparton Swans Football and Netball Club.
Over dinner on Saturday and lunch on Sunday, Ablett was joined on stage by emcee Paul Howard, opening up about his career, his move to the Suns and his return to the Cats, family, and much more.
More than $20,000 was raised for charity by auctioning off some memorabilia items, including a framed photograph of Gary Ablett Senior with late Cats legend Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer, and a print of the 2007 Geelong team, featuring Gary junior alongside brother Nathan, after their drought-breaking premiership win.
