Despite missing a string of games in the middle of the year due to a knee injury, Robbie Gray showed in 2021 that his composure, playmaking and ability to convert in the dying moments is still unrivalled heading into his 16th season.

Now predominantly a forward, Gray kicked 20 goals in on the season while still proving capable of stints through the middle and a cameo attendance at a centre bounce or two.

After notching his 250th game in 2021, he’s perhaps best remembered in the season for his match-winning goals against Richmond in Round 4 and the Western Bulldogs in the last round of the regular season, respectively.
