Kane Cornes is Rowan Jones with longevity
His 2014 is probably the best year I've seen from a Port player, should've won the brownlow by a street.

There's consistent and great players that get you in contention to win games, and there's clutch players who win them for you. (Some are both of course)
Brownlow chance = former, R Gray = latter.

Kane Cornes is trying to make a career getting into people's heads but he's not in our hearts, poor comparison

Ok 15. I'll meet you half way. Although I could probably put in Darren Mead and Nick Stevens too.
I rate all these players higher than Kane Cornes. Selfish seagull.

Geeze there are some good players retiring this year. Robbie Gray was one of those players I hated to love. Always exciting around the ball and a constant threat when we played against him.
Sad to see him go.

I can barely think of a better player outside the small few who reside on Mount Olympus.
Skilled, clutch, predictably reliable for a looong time. At a big Vic club, well, the media would have mugged him several times over.

Its a shame he is/was a port player. didn't really appreciate him cos of the hate i have for port and its players etc glad i dont have to watch him rip the crows apart anymore.. although put him down for 4 goals this week and the medal. this is a game the crows cant win now.
Absolute champion of the game.
His 2014 was just phenomenal ave 25 disposals and 1.7 goals a game. That’s on par with the best we’ve seen from Martin, Ablett, Petracca etc.
622 disposals and 42 goals in a year. Incredible.
I’d have him as Ports second best in the AFL era behind Tredrea. A true talent.

A great career which encountered the hurdles of a horrendous knee injury and a battle with cancer
He'll be remembered alongside the other greats down at Alberton

Thought he was one of the best players in the game during his 2014-2017 peak.

Shattered. His 2014 season was incredible and never received the plaudits it deserved. His footy IQ is next level.
Just saw this on Twitter - impressive if true. In the 18 team era only 4 players have averaged 20+ possessions and 1.25+ goals per game, R Gray being one of them.

Thanks Robbie, you deserved more team accolades to go with the personal ones.
Will always be a great of our club.
* you Collingwood for not allowing him to wear the prison bars in his final game.

What a stud. For three years would have been close to the most impact per possession player in the game.
Probably only second to Burgoyne for being clutch over his career.

Blame Hinkley. Ironically, more than any other play Robbie has kept Ken in a job with the number of games he won off his own boot.
Should be mentioned that in 2014 he did win the coaches MVP award and had a good claim to being the best player in the comp. As usual the dullard umps had no idea though.

Fantastic player to watch.

A bigger deal out west.
Well looks like we have to play spoiler for the third week in a row.
Fantastic footballer though and one that was hard to dislike, even though he gave Adelaide nightmares over the years.
