Robbie Gray champion player but let's just pump the brakes.I’ll probably get hounded for saying this but gray is almost the R Ebert for the millennials.
You might misinterpret me- russell obviously better but being born in 93 I never got to see him play, what I’m saying is we worship him in the same way the older generations did Ebert. Cant compare them as players as I’ve only seen the odd highlight of RussellRobbie Gray champion player but let's just pump the brakes.
I was lucky enough to see Russell play in his prime and believe me no one has come close.
When you say took them to a grand final Tredrea had a pretty average year in 2007 31 goals 104 marks was way below his normal output as he struggled with that knee.One is a premiership captain in a year when the captain done is knee with massive pressure internally and externally to succeed after the 2 previous attempts and then took another team to a grand final which in hindsight was pretty good considering that team was pretty average
I will cry.
Robbie helped draft that guyFeel so flat that he's retiring. No idea when we'll see someone on his level again for our club.
So you're saying absolutely no-one in the team deserves a premiership medal? I just want to make sure you're as cooked as I think you are.You don't when you spend 10 years mimicking ken, they were complicit till the end, that is their choice. That's what happens in football, if boak or Robbie went to cd and said 'I don't think ken is the man' then he would have been moved on a long time ago.
Your mentality is the same as the team. For some reason they have the same entitlement and that's the same reason why teams like the pafc have failed in finals. Do they deserve it? The answer is simple, Do they have it? As Ken once said "you get what you deserve " Gee that hasn't aged well for him and his merry clan of brown nosers.

Hasn't quite hit Robbie's level yet.Robbie helped draft that guy
Don't blame the players for Kochies manlove of Hinkley. Even the media are swooned by him, and they absolutely love crucifying coachesYou don't when you spend 10 years mimicking ken, they were complicit till the end, that is their choice.

A class playerof his own, would have loved to have seen Russel and Robby play together.
It's an interesting debate which for mine is an example that life ain't always fair.Your mentality is the same as the team.

Robbie is probably the reason Ken's still here but not for the reason you've invented, it's because he's pulled our arses out of the fire that many times and singlehandedly turned so many games around in the last 10 years. But you can't blame him for being a great player, and you really can't blame him for not leading some sort of white anting campaign against his own coach. I want Ken gone as much as you do but don't blame the second best player of our AFL era when there are far more obvious people who actually make the decision to hire and fire coaches at the club.You don't when you spend 10 years mimicking ken, they were complicit till the end, that is their choice. That's what happens in football, if boak or Robbie went to cd and said 'I don't think ken is the man' then he would have been moved on a long time ago.

If I look at the careers of past players like Tony Lockett, Robert Harvey, Garry Ablett Snr I think they'd be worthy to be recognised as Premiership Players.
I feel the same way about Robbie Gray, I'd love for him to be recognised as a Premiership Player but for a variety of reasons that won't be the case.
No disrespect to Aaron Keating the Ruckman from Adelaide, he played in a Premiership in just his third game, his impact to the teams performance was minimal but he's a Premiership player, strangely enough he won two flags in a week as he backed up for Norwood also.
Lockett, Harvey, Ablett Snr in comparison to Aaron Keating.....sometimes it just comes down to luck for which I'd argue that there are plenty of players that are more deserving to be recognised as Premiership players in comparison to some players that have won a Premiership.
Cameron Mooney won a flag with North Melbourne, look at the circumstances behind why he was selected in the team and his impact on the day, if his career stopped there then I'd put him in the same bracket as Aaron Keating.
