AFL legend Leigh Matthews says he has some doubts over Gary Ablett going into the 2016 season, after the Suns' skipper has battled injuries for the past 18 months.
โHeโs thirty-odd now and heโs hardly played for a year-and-a-half and hasnโt played yet this preseason,โ Matthews said on Adelaide radio station FIVEaa.
โHeโs had things that just keep going wrong with his body."
Ablett managed just six games last season and 15 in 2014, due knee and shoulder injuries.
โGary Ablett on his form over most of the last decade is as good a player thatโs ever played," Matthews said.
โHeโs a magnificent player, but I must admit thereโs a question mark for me until I see him fit and well and actually strings together a month or two of footy at the kind of level weโve known in the past."
