Toast Sam "Frodo" Gray

[Shane_Mag]

Ever since his move to the midfield in the senior team he has shown so much. Has gotten alot of the ball and seems to have found the pace of AFL footy. Think he has shown he belongs at AFL level.

Gee what a surprise!

 

[Pt Augusta Power]

Credit to him, has played well. Good on him. Has moved past Moore and possibly Young.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

Yep well done Sam Gray. Was thinking about starting a toast thread for the 'fringe' players.

Sam Gray, Ah Chee, Krakouer, Neade, O'Shea

Fantastic return to AFL footy.

As I posted in the game day thread - "Great game - hell GREAT MONTH by Sammy Gray"!!!

He has done more than enough to keep is spot on the rookie list... maybe even to be upgraded in place of Mitchell!!!


Isnt is funny that a genuine midfielder plays his best footy on ball in the midfield!!!


Well done Sammy!!!

 

[Schulzenfest]

I was wrong. When played in position he's proven himself to be an AFL quality midfielder. Would be happy for him to sign his contract extension tonight.

 

[FallingLiefs]

I was wrong.

Also - how much fitter does he look!!!

 

[tangolikelama]

Been fantastic since the move to the midfield

KH: He's a pretty good little player, Sam. He's a natural footballer

Sam and Arch may be the biggest positives to come out of this admittedly awful season. Probably wouldn't have gotten the same chances had the team been performing better, absolutely awesome to see them step up and take that chance though.

Well done S Gray fantastic to see him cutting it a at this level i dont think he stopped running and he clearly wants to make it happen.

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

My big thing with a lot of players I believe in has been "I hate when posters say I didn't think they would make it, but I'm glad I was proven wrong".

To counter that, I shall say:

I didn't think he would ever be AFL standard. I am absolutely dead wrong. Completely and 100%." I gave the benefit of the doubt to others to have some time to acclimate to the pace of AFL, but I was prejudiced because of Sam's size and the fact he only knew SANFL.

I was very wrong. Sam Gray is a serious footballer. I am proud of his ascent.

 

[Jack Foster]

Tonight he picked me up and threw me into mount doom!
Please forgive me.

Hard to believe how much better he's gotten. Him and Ah Chee have seriously taken a massive step up and it will really go a long way next year.

 

[Grandaddy J]

No coincidence that our two most inexperienced mids have their best two weeks for the club on the back of Ken finally growing a pair and dropping Lobbe. Amazing what good service can do.

 

[achee acheeman]

Hobbit deserves more praise than any of our fringe players...


He has been the best in the last month...


Well done sam

Definitely. I think when we lost Wines most would think we would struggle in the midfield but both Ah Chee and Sam Gray have stepped up big time. It's a pity the likes of Moore and Young can't do the same when they been given chances this year.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

I liked his game against Melbourne in Alice Springs and thought he showed something as a midfielder there. He was really strong at the ball and body, plays like a good nuggety country footballer should. So pleased that he has taken his chance the past few weeks.

 

[PA88]

I always thought Sam Gray had AFL skillset but was unsure of his size and speed but it is great to see him growing into his rightful midfield role. He's evasive, he kicks well, makes good decisions, is quick to decide, wins the hardball.

S Gray and Ah Chee. Examples of never giving up on a player until they are officially off your list.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

PAFCsince1870 you were wrong.

 

[Forzaport]

Has to be promoted to the senior list now. Form has been sublime.

I expect he and Krakouer will be promoted. Too good to be left on our rookie list.
