Should be cherry ripe for finals then.

Does he fit anymore?

 

[ghostdog]

Does he fit anymore?

Key defender.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Probably need first two weeks of finals to be absolutely cherry

C'mon now, he's naturally cherry.

 

[eth-dog]

C'mon now, he's naturally cherry.

I see him more apple like.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

I see him more apple like.

Granny Smith.

Cherry and Apple cider.

 

[Zach Package]

He’s running already. At least he’s able to keep an element of a fitness base up

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

AFL Tonight said he was ahead of schedule but coach Brad Scott will take a cautious approach.

Sounds like a direct quote from the weekly press conference, in which Brad was subject to a pop quiz about every player the journos could recall the name of

His press conference said that Wright got the all clear from the surgeon and the bone has healed very well.

He’ll return to full training within a week.

He’ll return to full training within a week.

With our record I’d be so nervous with him coming back early. Irrespective of what the surgeon has said.

Cant wait to see the real big red fire engine back at AFL level. Going to be a major boost for the team with 2MP leading out from full forward

Same here. Just his presence in the team will mean that Weideman, Langford and Stringer get lesser opponents and in turn I think our forward line will be more dangerous

So long as we don’t get blinkered into focusing too heavily on his presence in the forward 50. I’d much rather an unpredictably potent forward line than a focal point target set-up. Lowering our eyes to hit up the spreading forwards appeals much more whether it’s Menzie or Wright getting on the end of it.

Losing Wright at the start of the season with a brand new coach (to us) was a blessing in disguise. Now he can put the king into the pack and see what it can now look like

 

[DallasCrane316]

From the “in the rooms” video, Mahoney said Wright is banging down the door to play. Either next week or the week after.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s an option for North

 

[Alberto_Magnifico]

Banging down the door? Shoulder must be strong then, bring him in
