More info on Robert Gray

Gray was picked by Port Adelaide in the 2006 draft using their fourth pick, becoming the 55th pick overall.

In Round 12 of the 2007 Season, he kicked 4 goals in a match against Essendon, in which Port Adelaide won by 31 points. He received the round 12 AFL Rising Star nomination for his efforts.

During these games Robbie Gray consolidated his place in the Power line up until a calf injury relapse against the Richmond Tigers at the MCG kept Gray out.

robert gray for rising star 2008
He was nominated this year already so he cant get nominated again

[morell]

He was nominated this year already so he cant get nominated againWrong. Nathan Jones from Melbourne was nominated in 06 and 07

Anyway, I have said it since day dot, Gray will be the pick of our super draft.

[Port_GW]

Signing him (as well as Boak and Krakouer) to long term contracts should be a priority for the club.

Yeah players can be nominated twice. Quote from the official AFL website: Players must be under the age of 21 at January 1 of this year and must not have played more than 10 senior games before the start of this season. They also must not have been suspended by the AFL or state league tribunals during the season though, as with the Brownlow medal, players found guilty of certain offences and fined or reprimanded remain eligible. Robbie Gray is a quality player and has proven he should have been taken earlier in the draft. :)

My bad I didnt realise that they can be nominated twice if they played under 10 games

.....Quote from the official AFL website: Robbie Gray is a quality player and has proven he should have been taken earlier in the draft. :)Quality indeed but his career may come to nothing if he can't stay injury free. In which case those who passed him by will be vindicated. I very much want him to stay fit and play a lot of games in 2008. Our own Garry Ablett Jnr.

Any info on how Robbie is going?

Good pre-season or injuries?

Yes there's some information on Robbie Gray in the training threads on this board. There's a few pics of him there too.

Robbie at training late Jan 08. He's been doing some specialised work and lap running in the late January training sessions (as well as competitive work), but no reported injuries so that might've been a niggle or they're just keeping him fresh. Should be playing in the internal trial today (Saturday 9 Feb).

[loopy_cam]

Alright, thanks for the info.

[Invigoration]

Hey guys, just wondering if you think Gray will play all year/if he is a worthwhile prospect?

Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated

[Super Goalie]

Is Robbie expected to play Rnd 1? I've heard he's had an outstanding pre-season, and I was definately impressed with what I saw last year.

Cheers

[Forzaport]

I'd expect him to get plenty of game time this year. As for playing round 1, your guess is as good as mine. You'll know before lockout though ;)

[shoperz]

on another port adelaide site here at big footy there is a mention that he did not complete the full training session with the other players

[Super Goalie]

Don't matter, I've replaced him in my DT now.

I hope that doesn't come back to bite my ass!

[BIG DADDY]

Love to see Robbie out there in the Showdown

Note the distant, dreamy, glam swooning look? He makes my heart flutter just a little.

Watch for the quick feet and dancemoves this arvo, if his form on the nightclub dancefloor is anthing to go by, he is in for a biggun.....:cool:

[Power King]

Am excited to see him play

Wanna see him put in a bit of mongrel and excitement

If he does though, i hope i don't get too wet... :p

[shoperz]

welcome back robbie - hope you stay injury free and keep spot in team - was unsure if ready to play AFL yet as games in SANFL were ordinary, but not too bad today

[Powerade 08]

Interesting that alot of supporters of other teams have suddenly jumped on Secret Weapon Grays' bandwagon the last few days.

[shoperz]

football is like a TV show - one minute your in and a hero and next time you are out and the villain. It is a pressure game and tough game both mentally and physically
