GOLD Coast superstar Gary Ablett says there's no doubt about it, he's no longer the best player in the AFL.
Fremantle's Nat Fyfe now holds that unofficial honour, Ablett says.
"Nat Fyfe, without a doubt," Ablett told Channel Nine on Thursday night when asked who was the League's best player.
Ablett, a dual Brownlow medallist, was pitted against Fyfe, the reigning Brownlow medallist, in last weekend's clash between the Dockers and the Suns.
"I was running around with him last week - we got the win but he was fantastic for those guys," Ablett said.
"We tried to stop him, we couldn't.
"Nat, he doesn't have any weakness. He can win contested ball, he wins the ball on the outside, he's so good in the air, and he kicks goals.
"He ended up with 34 (disposals) and three (goals) - and we put a lot of time in during the week watching video of him, working out how we could stop him. We couldn't."
Fyfe is also the AFL's official No.1 player as well, ranked in the top spot of the Schick AFL Player Ratings. He tops the list ahead of Geelong's Patrick Dangerfield and Collingwood's Scott Pendlebury.
Ablett was the official No.1 before being sidelined with injury. He has slipped to 55.
