This bloke is something,I had the opportunity to go and watch the Power train,and although it is only training,coupled with his form and poise shown over the last 3 weeks,his hands are outstanding and he has some pace about him.

Think we might have one here,I know some people at Westies have alot of time for him and saw something special,if only for a fleeting moment.

Apparently is very relaxed before games too,gives the impression of an old head on young shoulders.

Yep Gray's a find that's for sure. I like the look of Westoff as well. Got em both cheap in the dream team and they are outperforming more expensive players like Barry Hall. Nice work Port.

regards,

Another good Power recruiting job of getting a good player with a late pick. Must have been a reason why he was a late draft pick but he certainly looks a better player than that.

Lots of comparisons between Gray and Gary Ablett Jnr. Obviously only the very beginning of his career, but he looks the goods and not a bad comparison to what Gray could become. Even Ablett has only reached his best in the past year, but his best is as good as any in the competition. Gray looks like he could become a star.

I would have thought Gray was lacking in pace compared to many other sized players, hence he wasn't higher in the draft, because the boy certainly has plenty of pure ability .. Good hands, plenty of smarts, doesn't appear to lack in confidence and very dangerous close to goal, a super find!!
