AFL Player 20: Peter Wright - Club Leading Goalkicker!

[Lore]

Contract Status: Free Agent (?) 2027
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 21, TheGrizz

 

[Howard Moon]

Fair call out
Why is the accountability diminished if its your teammate

Rohan should have got 6 for knocking out Jeremy Cameron

 

[Squeaky]

Deserves 2 will get 4

This is what I think too.
He might take the 4 before they try to nail him to a cross though
I mentioned earlier that this will be a shit show, but I undersold it.
Geez some people can go on...
It's Peter Wright, not Ronnie Andrews ya ****wits!

Risen on the third day as Peter Wrong!

Smashing defenders, clunking marks, reincarnate of lockett/lynch hybrid campaigner.
Heeney and paps will need night lights

Not than I’m a fan, but came across a Wayne Carey feed in tik tok where he comes out very strongly in support of Wright.

What will likely happen is the AFL will beat its chest and make an example of Wright.
Then something similar will happen in R20 and they will find wriggle room so that no one misses a final.
It's the easiest thing in the world to give a guy overs in R3.

I think this is blown way out of proportions given the clear intent to protect himself while going for the ball.

A referral straight to the tribunal makes it seem worse than what it is. It's a contact sport and accidents happen.

Eddie McGuire was also hugely in favor of wright and made some great points
I’m loving all the opposition fan discourse, can’t wait til one of their players cop this unfortunate scenerio

Severe v high was line ball.
Given the attempt to engineer the siciliy outcome last week and Christians track record, im not surprised its where it is.

Half of me wants him to get off for the melts.
Other half wouldnt mind my boy caddy getting a chance

Is the club going to fight hard? Wright was running straight to the ball and Cunningham was the one running and angle and cut in front of him. The opposition booing him all night definitely has an influence on public reaction to the event.

Don't think they'll announce anything about it but you'd expect they'd fight as best they can. having 2MP in the side for an extra week could be a deciding factor at the end of the season.

He will miss some footy. I reckon 2 weeks is sufficient. But I think I will be wrong.

When is the hearing?

 

[Call Me Cake]

I think he was aiming to mark the ball but miscalculated how close he'd get to it to then realizing it was lower than 2m and needed to chest mark it, to then realizing that it was too late and since his arms were lowered for a chest mark it was already in a position to brace.

Also if you look at this angle you can see him push out an arm in a split second attempt to soften the blow/impact to/from Cunningham by applying an open hand against his body but wasn't enough.



Unfortunately even though it's clearly an isolated incident with no ill intent as it would be in any other match I think he may ultimately fall victim to the edge stuff which is sad for him and for the overly sensitive nature of the competition.

When is the hearing?

Tomorrow

Protect yourself, it's that simple.

An old WAFL player told me the same thing - he said a few decades back when the ball went over your head you turned around and prepared to crumb rather than run back with the flight - that was abnormal. Hobbs last year who isn't without courage was running with the flight then stopped himself. Lucky he did because he could still be in a trauma unit as Oscar McInerney was coming through full tilt with a high knee. It was a smart thing to stop.

 

[bombreys]

To be fair I didn’t think there was much in it

Neither did I, but was Redman’s any worse..? If Heeney had a red sash on his jumper I dare say he’d be missing a week

 

[Seb78]

 

[quotemokc]

This is basically the exact same thing as what happened with Wright. Difference is he didn't take a mark.

If he marks the ball then this isn't up for discussion.

Wright's has gone straight to the tribunal which means we need to say... something.

Redman was offered a week, to go to the tribunal you would have to think you can downgrade one of the below



Pretty hard to argue he didn't intend to hit Newcombe, or that he didn't hit him high IMO. So you're at trying to downgrade low impact from low to... low. As soon as it's high and intentional it's at least a week.

Unless you're Heeney?

 

[Blind Turn]

Does it make any difference to his defence that the ball was kicked by an Essendon player? If the ball wasn’t meant for Wright (ie kicked by a Swans player) then he is encroaching on Cunningham’s space. But because the pass was meant for him then Cunningham is encroaching on Wrigt’s space.

Perhaps, down the track, any right-of-way law would take into account the intended target. If you connect with an intended target front-on, regardless of whether or not you have eyes for the ball, it’s a free kick to the targeted player. The idea would be that, as in Wright’s situation, Cunningham would be more inclined to visualise the intended target before going for the ball and thus halt his foray into the path of Wright.

Unless you're Heeney?

Really Hind is lucky he didn't get suspended for impeding Heeney's hand. What if Heeney had broken his hand? Zerk-Thatcher let his face break Heeney's hand once before didn't he? Bad Essendon.

Let's just hope the tribunal makes the wright decision
