If you look at his career, he's played the equivalent of 3 full seasons of an average of 29 goals a season.

he may perform better at a Better club ? but even if he doesnt Essendon got him rather cheap but by the time his contract ends the other forwards should have come through by then

we don't really have any. Unless one of the rucks (Bryan/Crauford) come on.
Jones from all reports is more your Gunston type than a CHF/FF.
Eyre might be one. Has tested strong but still raw.
We'd be earmarking Wright (FF), Stewart (CHF), Stringer (3rd tall) as our starting line up for some time.
Not unhappy though. Just need someone who isn't Tippa to play FF (a bit of a change in gameplan from Essendon of the last 10 years)

Pretty good deal for Essendon for that pick and some of his wages paid.
Good get, we need a big body
Certainly some concerns around his impact as a KPF...seems a bit like Schache/Gorringe in that he has nice skills but isn't that aggressive, crash packs or take contested marks...which I assume is why his value is so low.
Still, for a 4th round pick and with GC paying some salary it's well worth the punt for Essendon and a good get.

Not an awful trade for both sides really. GC get to slary dump, and Essendon need a forward.
Don't get why it took a week and a bit though!

He looks weird in that photo, did someone photoshop a giant head on a body that's way too small?

Good pickup Essendon. Still has heaps of talent, hopefully he can live up to it at a new club.
some dude from Bigfooty photoshopped it

Good get Dons, grabbed a bargain there I reckon.
Anyway, that’s probably enough trading for you guys, so let’s just forget this Dunkley business and move on, shall we?

Good deal for Essendon
What looked like a potential disaster for Essendon this trade period could and up turning out alright for them I feel

Is it just me or does anyone else get the song Hotel California going inside their head when they think of the Essendon football club.......
Feels like they de-aged McKernan by six years in return for a chump change pick. A good result for a serviceable player IMO.
Hmm Shache is sort of the opposite to Wright in the sense that he is a smart footballer but doesn’t seem to have the athleticism to beat AFL standard defenders. Whereas Wright looks lost out there at times and doesn’t use his size well enough.
Gorringe isn’t a bad comp but Wright has already far exceeded his career output
I guess the potential saving grace for Wright is if he doesn’t work out as a forward and his choice becomes no AFL career or ruck then he has the size and athleticism to provide value there.
