Toast Because he's Robbie ******* Gray

[Chopperdave]

Every single person who questioned his spot in the side needs to hand in their supporter pass they don't deserve to watch his greatness.

If Robbie finishes his career without a flag, it'd be one of football's greatest ever injustices.

Robbie and Travis.

 

[Powerage]

Despite being like 80 years old, he always seems to create good space between him and his opponent. Especially across the half forward line during our attacks.

How did he get that space? Does he just tiptoe behind the guys back? I guess the ball came in quickly and its also why Robbie is Robbie but you would have thought instructions to the defender towards the end of the game would be "do not leave the side of he who closes out games"

Robbie is an absolute champ and I hope he gets a flag. He and Trav. Gonna miss him when he’s done.

The poor back had to guard Gray while there were 4 Port forwards charging his way. He froze, and Robbie got open. Robbie went away probably knowing that either he would get open or the goal.

The other back had also frozen, but Rozee doesn’t get as much separation as Gray did. Still learning, I reckon.

The Dogs weren’t playing to defend their lead. It was 2v2 inside 50, and the other backs were in the contest. They had no spare. When the ball got loose, and Ladhams managed to soccer it, the Dogs were rooted.

Lil Pisty’s soccer off the ground.
Robbies little hand signal to say, I got this.
Love hug from Trevor.

His highlight reel will be 10 minutes long by the time he retires

Try 100 minutes long

Only a week or two a go I was concerned he didn’t have time to be match fit and find form.

Then he delivers what only Robbie can!

He's short. Squat. Can't leap. Not quick. Had a knee reco. Had cancer. Can't kick any long distance. Aging. On one leg atm.

Is there any single player in history you would rather have to put your life in their hands to kick a match winning goal?




No ****** way.
It's Robbie ****** Gray - every single time!

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

The last 3 are a bit dodgy compared to the first 5. Those first 5 were the match winners. The other 3 were important first goals in the last quarter, but not the sealers or the winners

Impressive CV you listed

The thing about some of his high pressure kicks recently, is they never look like missing. They never start a bit wide, or bend and sneak in. Dead straight drop punts. Absolutely elite, start in the middle and straight as an arrow. Perfect kicks.

Cold. As. Ice.

 

[jonasshirtfront]

Our (equal) best of the AFL era

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

He may never be a good as he once was but my god he is still a valuable member of our best 22

 

[Mortimer85]

Yeah. It was amazing to see people questioning his place in the team in the game day thread. He is Robbie ******* Gray!

So much this. The guy has looked physically cooked for a couple of years. He's had chemo. He was written off as injury prone early on in his career.

And then he trots out for a lazy 25 and 2 in a clutch game on Friday night. The man is a living breathing monument. A colossus of the PAFC.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I would nickname him the meatpacker but it just sounds so wrong

 

[Jack_1870]

When Robbie is selected for the AFL hall of fame,no messing about,he goes in there as a Legend.
