After years of wanting him (at least on mine and BrunoV's part) we finally have him.

Traded for a future 4th round pick. Bargain.

 

[rumply]

Nice, plenty of upside.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Got him for nothing virtually, good get.

 

[owen87]

No idea how we got him for a future 4th and with GCS paying some of his salary.

 

[eth-dog]

If we can get 130+ goals from Wright, Stewart, Stringer and Walla we'll have done well.

 

[Lore]

Not quite official yet lol

If we can get 130+ goals from Wright, Stewart, Stringer and Walla we'll have done well.

We certainly will, given that's an average of 32.5 which is more than Wright & Stewart have ever kicked in a season, and only 1.5 goals less than Tipungwuti's best year. Stringer has had a 56 and 42 goal season at the Bulldogs, with his best at EFC being 33.

Former top ten draft pick, for a future 4th?
Didn't play a game in 2020?

There are some blanks here I need filled in.

Has shown a bit at times but been largely poor. Shuffled back behind Day and King at the Suns.

Can’t say I’ve seen a lot of him but the consensus seems to be he has the size, some skills and some athleticism, but lacks competitiveness and mongrel. His chief role for us will be to compete and bring the ball to ground, so we’ll have to fix that. Somebody lock him in a cage until March and start poking him with a stick.

Someone posted the below article yesterday;

Peter Wright is about to become the prettiest girl at the dance

The Gold Coast Suns’ fiery centre half forward, Peter Wright, is a player who divides opinion. Fans point to his best performances as evidence that he is an AFL-standard key forward, while those who have run out of patience are calling for his ticket out of town to be stamped. Two Metre Peter...

[Slice and Dyson]

Pretty happy with this one!
- Addresses a need;
-Didn't cost much;
-We aren't even paying all of his salary.

[VelvetSledge]

Yeww, bargain signing. Stoked.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Welcome to Essendon two metre Peter.

First Peter on Essendon’s list since rookie listed player Peter Summers circa 2003.

As he walked to the stage at the 2014 AFL Draft with Imagine Dragons in the background, I Bet my Life on Wright being better than Joe.*

Not really.

 

[11kgm]

I am ******* excited

 

[I Remember Bluey]

Get him in the #6
