Countdown To Dream Team Unique Pick #3 ~ Robbie Gray

[Yoshi]

Just been looking through some of the forward scores from 2011 & noticed from rd 13 Robbie Gray avg 96.8 with a lowest score of 78 & high of 131. He also had 5 over 100 scores in this time.
I know he plays for Port which throws most people off along with past injuries but if he stays fit could possibly be a smokie for 2012.
Just wondering people thoughts going by his 2nd half the year scores.

been on most pplz radar for a couple of years now like Dangerfield as a breakout player... take some cojones to pick him

[ronl]

He's let me down a couple times, don't think I'll give him a chance to make it three.

This kid definitive is a gun in the making but as you say he plays for port. If they look like having any improvement I may consider him but they are fvckin terrible so hard to pick him.
After that game against the Dons where he had 40 posi's and 4 goals I am super tempted.
Cant see any reason why he couldn't keep his late season form other than Port being sh!T so as is he isn't in my team.

[Doyle]

He's a talented player who just hasn't performed consistently. Hopefully he can have a solid year averaging 90+ and I might consider him the year after next

[me]

thoughts on this guy? there doesn't seem to be any mention of him and doesn't feature in any draft teams at all?

he had a top year last year, finally got his body together and played a lot through the midfield, and ended the season strongly. really tempted to take a punt on him, seems very gary ablettesque (small forward moving midfield and tearing it up) and should average 90+ u'd think, especially if port can be more competitive

[elephants]

Too many forwards for me. Already having problems fitting all my wanted players in as well as rookies.

[Virgil]

I think Robbie's got about as much upside as any of the other C/F players available, but those of us who've been playing for a few years will be wary of Robbie because he's burned us before.  I do agree with you though that I think he has finally gotten himself right.  Primus has done good things for him and I honestly expect him to be right up there in terms of top forwards for 2012.  There is a lot of value available this year though, and his bye is a bit awkward depending on who else you want.

[ronl]

Robbie has burnt me twice.  No way.

[Chopps]

nah not for me, have seen him burn others and i am not that confident picking him plus i have more options that put him out of contention

[Windigo]

He still upped his average last year. I too expect that to improve again. I've never had him in my team so I've never been burned by him. But I know enough to think you'd be sweating on every game if you had him in from the start.

locked in

played international rules so is at peak fitness

[DT-SC]

averaged 81.8 over 21 games, yeah not bad but not brilliant...... however over the first 7 games he averaged a low 62 and over the remaining 14 rounds he scored: 100, 83, 35 (terrible), 85, 89 92, 102, 120, 105, 85, 78, 90, 78, 131, 102 ...averaged= 92! they are some impressive numbers IMO (barring the 35) .....he tonned it up 6 times over the 14 games..... ive never been burnt by him so he is currently sitting in my forward line (5 F) 
if fit, with and improving side i believe he can average around 85-90, keep in mind the tons didnt come against top 4 material but the likes of, freo, essendon, lions, st kilda, melbourne twice

just wanted to start a thread ;D

[Football Factory]

He has this most annoying habit of chewing on his mouthguard   >:(  . He shows patches of brilliance and then ...........

[Windigo]

A must watch. Is he a Mid/Fwd?
