Gary Robert Ablett (1 oktober 1961) is een voormalig Australian football-speler die Hawthorn en Geelong vertegenwoordigde in de Australian Football League (AFL). Ablett wordt vaak gezien als een van de beste spelers ooit in het Australian football.

After making several country league representative teams, Ablett was recruited by Hawthorn from Drouin and made his professional senior debut in the 1982 season. However, he failed to settle down in the city and retreated to Myrtleford the following year. The Geelong Football Club managed to lure him back to the Victorian Football League (VFL) in 1984, where he eventually settled down to become one of the league's biggest stars during the late '80s and early '90s. Ablett helped Geelong to a Grand Final appearance in 1989, where he kicked a Grand Final-record nine goals in a losing team.[4] Ablett shocked everyone by abruptly announcing his retirement from football at the beginning of the 1991 season, but made a comeback midway through the year. Ablett made three more Grand Final appearances in the 1992, 1994, and 1995 seasons before retiring for good after the 1996 season.

Luke Ablett (born 22 November 1982) was an Australian rules football player with the Sydney Swans of the AFL. He is the son of former Hawthorn player Kevin Ablett, who was less well known than his older brother and fellow Hawthorn player Geoff Ablett and younger brother, the legendary Geelong player Gary Ablett. He is also the cousin of current Gold Coast captain, Gary Ablett Jr..

Having played for local club Drouin and the Gippsland Under 18s side, Ablett was drafted by Sydney in the second round of the 2000 National Draft and made his debut in Round 13 of the 2002 season against Fremantle. After playing four games in both that season and the next, including two matches in the 2003 finals series, he secured a regular place in the team in 2004. Despite originally feeling some pressure due to being an Ablett, he made a role for himself on his own merits as a midfielder and run-with player. In 2005 he missed only one game and steadily improved, his average possessions nearly doubling the previous year's figures. Ablett was a member of the Swans' 2005 grand final winning team, despite kicking straight to West Coast player Ben Cousins at a crucial moment, threatening to lose the game for Sydney. Being part of the premiership team had him following in the footsteps of his uncle Geoff, a two time premiership player for Hawthorn in the 1970s. Ablett now plays for the Fitzroy Football Club in Melbourne.

Ablett was delisted by Sydney on 13 November 2009.

Nathan Ablett (born 13 December 1985) is an Australian rules footballer who played for Gold Coast and Geelong in the Australian Football League (AFL). A key forward, 1.94 metres (6.4 ft) tall and weighing 96 kilograms (210 lb), Nathan is the youngest son of Gary Ablett Sr and the younger brother of Gary Ablett Jr.

Although a standout junior footballer, Ablett chose not to play in the TAC Cup to avoid the media attention which accompanied the preceding careers of his father and brother. After spending a year playing in country leagues, Ablett agreed to sign for Geelong (his former club) under the league's father-son rule and was selected with the 49th overall pick in the 2004 AFL Draft. Ablett made his AFL debut in 2005, and was part of the Premiership side in 2007. However, he announced his retirement from professional football at the conclusion of the 2007 season, citing a lack in desire to continue playing at the top level.

John Abley (1 October 1930 – 19 August 2011) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Port Adelaide in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) between 1950 and 1961.

Abley spent some of the 1949 VFL season playing reserves football with Hawthorn Football Club and turned his back on a possible career in the seniors when he moved to Adelaide, South Australia. Abley could easily have played for Glenelg (as his younger brother Kevin did) instead of Port as after he arrived in Adelaide the area he planned on residing in was part of Glenelg's recruiting zone. Port Adelaide officials, at the suggestion of Bob McLean, hastily arranged alternate accommodation in the hope of acquiring his services and Abley debuted for Port Adelaide in 1950.

Albiston was involved in a nasty off season split at Hawthorn in 1949; Albiston had accepted that he would not be coaching in 1950, but a committeeman had promised him the captaincy, whereas Bob McCaskill had wanted Kevin Curran as captain and this caused a huge internal fight. Brownlow Medallist Col Austen sided with Albiston, but the committee sided with the new coach and Albiston and Austen were given open clearances; Albiston to North Melbourne and Austen to Richmond. With the loss of its best two players, Hawthorn finished 1950 in last without a win.

In 2011 he was inducted into the Hawthorn Football Club Hall of Fame.[2]

Steven Alessio (born 8 November 1971), is a former Australian rules footballer with the Essendon Football Club.

Of Italian descent and named in the VFL/AFL Italian Team of the Century in 2007, Alessio made his debut in 1992, and was renowned as one of Essendon's great ruckmen. He was reportedly recruited after walking into the clubhouse and asking for a trial, instead of being selected through the player draft.[1] He was given the no. 27 (which had been made famous by Essendon's champion ruckman Simon Madden and has been given to ruckmen ever since). He played in their 2000 premiership team. At the end of 2002, Alessio was delisted and then re-drafted by Essendon, and accepted only match fees during his final season in 2003. At the end of the 2003 season, Alessio called it a day, having played 184 games.

He is now employed by the Essendon FC in a football operations role

Alessio is the uncle of Carlton's 2010 first round draftee, Matthew Watson.[2]
