Contract Status: Free Agent (?) 2027

Need him back. The question of Draper playing forward is answered by the opposition- they basically ignore him and send their best defender to Caddy.

Wright probably gives them more to think about.

Wright in first either Draper or Bryan, take your pick.

Caddy getting the best defender will be a blessing in disguise. He's revelling with the challenge. Randomly picking Nick Riewoldt's brain the other day is clear evidence of that.

Draper needs to play forward because we need to get ruck time into Bryan.

No-one cares about Wright in the forwardline because he's a no-contest player. Draper is physical enough to keep a defender or two honest.

His mind just isn't up to it.

This.
Doesn’t lack skill, lacks confidence and mental strength

He was looking decent up until he got suspended. Completely shot his confidence.

 

[Vindicater]

It is not even his marking that bothers me with Wright. It is the defensive side that kills us. If we play Weight we need to play five speedy players around him in today's game to make up for it.

Could probably go back further when he did his shoulder the year before. To me, that was the start of his game unraveling. Seemed to be protecting it a fair bit

 

[Vindicater]

If we play Wright and two ruckmen I will puke.

 

[jannissary]

simply best on, what a comeback game

 

[Bunk Moreland]

PAY THE BELIEVERS

What a man

 

[Schnitzengruben]

I always rated him unlike eth-dog

 

[pepsi]

Vital player now draper is out

 

[jmoo wan]

can he ruck?

 

[eth-dog]

I can not get back on the Wright train. I liked his first year despite his marking short comings. He was obviously good the year he kicked 50 goals. What turns me off is how easily he can be nullified in a contest. There was one stage on Saturday before he got injured where one of the Pies small defenders bowled him over in a marking contest. All he had to do was a slight bump in the side and Wright collapsed like an imploding building. Everyone knows that you can easily move him off the line of the footy to the point they do not even bother playing a tall on him at times. I just do not know where he goes from there. Before he was dropped last year sides where also exploiting his lack of pace when he was in the ruck as well.

Hi

 

[Bunk Moreland]

can he ruck?

No thanks. Owns the forward line

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

Seemed much more physical than he's been since his suspension. Very good game.

 

[Zach Package]

It’s just so unbelievably dumb, you’ve struck gold by taking advantage of the Suns shit management, drive the ****ing nail in for once.

Should be clearing out and sticking literally every entry down his throat.

At this point it would make more sense if he shagged Scott’s wife.

More than that he had some great 2nd efforts once ball hit the deck. Last year we were basically a man down if he didn't mark the ball

Told ya !

Well done Pete that was enjoyable

 

[Ren]

One game in and is one goal short of our top goal kicker

 

[naraku]

Good return. Now just need him to keep it up( or close to it).

 

[Seb78]

Much like Setterfield, we look better with Wright in the team.
Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure Caddy got the #1 defender still.

 

[ant555]

Hi

 

[bombersim]

If he can do this more regularly, it makes us look like a completely different team. He needs to be challenged to do it more regularly because when he does, he looks elite.

When he’s physically assertive it all works, but when he’s passive he gets pushed over by guys smaller than him.
Hopefully this is closer to his level.

 

[Vander18]

Say what you will, reckon he still has the purest strike in the AFL. Gun barrel straight from outside 50 with almost no visible effort.

The goals were nice but irrelevant. We know that can happen with him. The important thing was that he competed. Now he needs to do it every week or he can go back to VFL.
