Port Adelaide legend Robbie Gray has decided to hang up the boots, with his final game coming in the Showdown against Adelaide on Saturday night.

His record demands that kind of recognition,” Hinkley said. The 22-year-old plays a blend between forward and midfield but has taken on more responsibility in 2022, playing through the centre. “We have been able to count on him to deliver in the big moments and he has won so many awards and accolades, yet he remains the most humble, team-first player who focusses so much attention on making others around him better. Ken Hinkley acknowledged the reputation Gray has created for himself and his legacy as a part of the Port Adelaide football club. Gray has won the most Showdown Medals in its history since it was introduced in 2000, leading Sam Jacobs (3), Mark Ricciuto (3), Josh Francou (3) and Travis Boak (3).
