Club History Is Robbie Gray our greatest ever of the AFL period?

[Dav]

Is it now appropriate to label Robbie Gray as our greatest ever AFL player? Has he usurped Warren Tredrea? And if not, how much more does he need to do? A premiership?

 

[SgtSchulz]

3rd.

A premiership makes it interesting.

Who do you have at 2nd?

 

[TeeKray]

Tredders has 1 more B&F, 1 more All Australian guernsey, a shitload more games and goals and the not so insignificant title of premiership captain. Robbie's up there but I'm not sure he catches Tredders.

 

[Boxx]

I would have thought Waz and Gav are ahead of him.

 

[Peck]

Definitely the highest impact per game, not the most accomplished career.

 

[scottjr]

Waz and Gavin then Jay Schulz and Robbie?

Love Robbie but struggle to put him ahead of Jay.

 

[chachi11]

Love Robbie but Tredrea was dominant playing the hardest position and getting double teamed...
If we had Warren in our team now we would win the flag.

Waz and Gavin then Jay Schulz and Robbie?

Love Robbie but struggle to put him ahead of Jay.

Carn.. schulz... he was good but that is way off

 

[PA88]

Wanganeen is our greatest afl player. Ever reliable. Stood up in lots of big games. Played in defence, forward and in the middle. Made a difference often.

 

[scottjr]

Carn.. schulz... he was good but that is way off

If he were available this week he would be the first player I would put on the board.

 

[Nemisis]

Robbie's up there with Gav and Warren - i would call it a dead heat

 

[Macca19]

Waz and Gavin then Jay Schulz and Robbie?

Love Robbie but struggle to put him ahead of Jay.

Everyone loved Jay. He'd probably be top 10 but there is no way he is ahead of a 4x BnF, 3x AA player.

 

[finbarr]

Schulz was a warrior, but not even close.

 

[Magus]

Takes more than one player to win a flag. I dont think that not having a medal really makes a difference to how he should be viewed.

I agree with others that he's tied with Gav and Tredders but I 100% think he will be the GOAT by the time he retires.

 

[finbarr]

Chad Cornes gets left out of these lists all the time. Good forward who became the best CHB in the competition, then went into the midfield to become arguably the best player in the AFL. You could argue he laid down the blue print for players like Nathan Fyfe.
Would comfortably be ahead of the likes of Jay Schulz at the very minimum.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I love Schulzy but that’s up there with ‘Robbie Gray isn’t fit to tie Martin Leslie’s boots’ as an absurd call. The guy had 5, maybe 5 and a half good years for us, and none of those years were anywhere near what Robbie has been producing since his knee reco.

 

[jakey]

If Tredrea, Gray and Wangas we're available for selection this week, and you could only pick one, who would you pick? If the answer isn't Tredders, you're avin a laff.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Tredrea
Gray
Wanganeen
Cornes C
Burgoyne P

 

[Us against the rest]

Gav then Treddas for me then Robbie.

 

[Magus]

Jay Schulz wins the "least regard for his own safety" award.

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Wanganeen
Tredders
Pickett
C Cornes
Robbie

 

[Wargreymon90]

Tredrea
Gray
Wanganeen
Cornes C
Burgoyne P

Unpopular opinion. But I’d have Boak in the top 5.

People are harsh on him for fumbling a few times in the last few seasons. He’s been an absolute legend of this football club

You could even put trengs in there as him and boak signing on was such an influential thing for this club maybe saved us
