[Elmer_Judd]

Power's greatest calls time on glittering career

Robbie Gray will play his final match this weekend against Adelaide

www.afl.com.au

Will play his final game against the Crows this weekend.

What a champion for the Port Adelaide footy club.

Such a shame he never got to play in a Grand Final

Definitely one of Port's finest ever players since joining the AFL.

 

[00Stinger]

Absolute star at his peak!

Did look like he had lost a bit of his agility this year, so great time to hang up the boots

 

[Altum Volantes]

Great player. Always felt like he kicked a few against my mob…but I have a feeling he did that to everyone.

Now it’s all said and done…better forward or midfielder?

-t" post siren goal, 4 goals in 3rd qtr final v Freo in Perth.

Was over hyped when younger that he moved like a Gary Ablett jnr, but overcame a horror ACL and cancer to carve out his own place in the game.

Thanks for the memories Robbie.

Great player. Always felt like he kicked a few against my mob…but I have a feeling he did that to everyone.

Now it’s all said and done…better forward or midfielder?

Good midfielder, but I always felt he was most dangerous in front of the big sticks. Especially when a game was on the line.

 

[PhatBoy]

Fantastic player, great to watch and seemed a good guy in general. Good luck in retirement Robbie

 

[TwiggleyFanClub]

Good midfielder, but I always felt he was most dangerous in front of the big sticks. Especially when a game was on the line.

Yep. Always stood up when it counted.

 

[WHOME]

I thought he retired a couple of years ago.

Then again, I don’t watch Port games

After Sunday I can understand why.

[windyhill]

So dependable. Fantastic career.

 

[Rabish Binney]

As a Crows member, Gray was one of the very few Port players I liked and enjoyed watching despite carving us up in many showdowns.

was a gun, always a fun player to watch and really clutch. Great career.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Absolute pain in showdowns

He had a great career, wish him the best

 

[tiger_tough]

One of the all time great clutch players. Killed us a fair few times.

Wow, I would not have said Robbie Gray

was drafted in 2006 at a guess.

 

[My Tilly]

Old school champion player.
Always delivered in big games.
Similar to Pavlich, had he played for a popular Melbournian club, his standing among supporters would be a little higher.

Shame his body broke down on him in later years.

 

[radiojake]

Regularly destroyed the Crows, was a master at drawing infuriating free kicks and played for Port Adelaide of all teams, and yet, I could never hate him -

Wonderful career

 

[Percel]

Never like this bloke much, but what a career, and a massive inspiration for the PAFC and followers.

Where does he rate amongst the all time for port?

 

[largebus]

Up there with Tredrea and Boak as the best Port players ever in the AFL era. All the best in retirement

 

[Scythe94]

Thoroughly enjoyable player to watch, despite lacking the athleticism that is so coveted in modern footballers. Just super talented with a great footy IQ, and agree, it's a shame those skills were never on display in a GF.

Damn good career nonetheless.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

For as gun of a player he was, he never really got the respects from the umps in terms of Brownlow votes. There was one year, I think it was 2014 or 16 and everyone thought he was the Brownlow favourite and he finished no where near it. His highest number of votes is 19 and in his 16 year career has only polled double figures FIVE times...that's wild for a player of his caliber.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Absolute gun. Pretty sure he grew up in Box Hill - would have loved him at Hawthorn．

 

[Forward Press]

Up there with Tredrea and Boak as the best Port players ever in the AFL era. All the best in retirement

The two Cornes, the two Burgoynes, Primus?

Would be interesting to see an all time Port top 10 list (AFL era).

After Sunday I can understand why.

Lol. Kane Cornes wouldn't be in our top 20 AFL players.

 

[Forward Press]

Lol. Kane Cornes wouldn't be in our top 20 AFL players.

What would be your top 10 or 20? Just curious. Thought Kane Cornes would warrant a mention in these kinds of lists as a 300 gamer.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Ablett without the burst

His best was as good as anyone in the league. Hugely under-rated player in the media
