Robbie Gray

[SAMCRO]

yep NO , just not cheap enough to take the risk on but anyone who takes him stands to gain a lot because all signs point to him really lifting, you could bet if he played for another side almost any other side there would be a lot more interest.

He is a great unique pick but not one that i think will pay off.

+1

[dmac07]

I have the strong gut feeling too that he may just breakout this year with a lot of midfield time and average 95-100! But I'm not brave enough to pick him still!

[CuStArDaRm]

Yeh not for me purely because port are so sh!t.

Only the mesiah GAJ can smash out scores in a bottom side.  :P

[enzedder]

No. He isn't cheap. He isn't a prolific scorer. He plays for a bottom side. He has some history with injuries.

[littleblueboy2906]

Anyone looking at him? Is he any good? Should i get home? Advice from some Port supporters would espically be nice.

[cortez]

a couple of years ago people were saying he was going to be tbe next ablett, didnt quite happen. has been rising each year tho and has the potential to be anything. havent heard much on him this preseason have to wait and see i guess. few good picks around his price tho.

[Bazinga]

Don't do it. Much better options around his price.

[littleblueboy2906]

like who?

[ando_10]

only port player that will even get a gig in my side will be chad wingard.

[littleblueboy2906]

Drew Petrie?

[Usman]

his numbers are freakishly like GAJ except the fact he plays for port puts me off!!! however we must remember he played for port last year and scored well, i cant see his scores dropping or port being worse.

[Bruce McAvaney]

Lol who is comparing Gray to Ablett? That's like saying Christensen and Breust are going to be better than Ablett because their stats are better at the same age.

[Usman]

I didnt say he would be as good as Ablett im just saying his stats are similar and he is a classy player that has a big impact on games whilst being on the rise. I wish i could compare christensen and bruest at the same age but i cant, dont have abletts SC scores prior 06 Ablett is ahead of both at trhe same age anyway. A key i look for is the abilty of a player to score 120+ on ocassions as Ablett did as a youngster as Gray did last year and they must be far better at SC than DT. Just my theory for this type of player.

[Kenny27]

I think we all know Gray is no Ablett and will never be.. There are several players that have similar stats or better to Ablett over his younger years will they get near his status now? Highly unlikely

Hell im a mad Collingwood supporter and as much as i love Swan & Pendles i can say with no doubt they arent as good as the all mighty Ablett and they would be in the top 5 players in the league.

[Usman]

Ablett is a once in a generation player one of the best ever. Arguable THE best ever to say Gray will be is good is a big call, but to say gray could score similar to ablett is plausible might not have the cieling Ablett does but if gray avg'd 100 this year id definately take it. alot of the great scoring fwd's are ageing so you can save the money on them and maybe pick this bloke or one of the players around his price and save big $$$ for the same scores? if any of you have seen Gray play he has got that Ablett X factor about him that means he will score higher SC than DT. Very valuable.

Summary: Not saying he will be as good as Ablett im just saying he is the next Ablett like player, and at the height of his career i predict a 110-115 avg. injuries permitting.
