Those kicks from outside 50 hnnnnnnnnnnnng

 

[Vander18]

Those kicks from outside 50 hnnnnnnnnnnnng

They don’t deviate even an inch.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

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.

Guys his size aren’t supposed to be able to kick like that. It’s too far from hand to boot.

It’s a thing of just effortless beauty. Like a flawless golf swing.

kicking has never been his issue to his credit........

Nobody flushes it like 2MP.

 

[Chief Hopper]

6 goals. He kept us still in the game.
Wow what a comeback by Peter!

 

[Cold Sober]

Where are all the apologies, and there are a lot due.
Yes, he must keep it going but, a lot of Essendon keyboard warriors are eating shite tonight.

 

[windyhill]

Absolute text book kick. The ultimate confidence player. Love the big bastard.

No, consistency of competitiveness is ultimately what we need from him and the main complaint - most of us know he is capable of the sublime which we witnessed tonight.

 

[Mercurial89]

Absolute text book kick. The ultimate confidence player. Love the big bastard.

I don't think there has been another essendon player that is more of a confidence player than him.

Competed really well tonight, was nice to see.

 

[jannissary]

ironically, i still think caddy drew mcgovern for a large portion of the game

 

[fairbump_playon]

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

Yep this is the thing that matters

Six goals will happen some weeks but he needs to scrap every week to

 

[brutus76]

2nd best kick for goal I've ever seen

 

[Blind Turn]

2nd best kick for goal I've ever seen

Plugger?

 

[Call Me Cake]

His mind just isn't up to it.

Gotta call myself out and give him props, thought he'd mentally checked out. Came out and competed for four quarters and was very territorial, looked like a strong bodied leader up forward.

 

[Nicholas61]

2nd best kick for goal I've ever seen

Not sure I have seen a better one from 50+ and it just looks so elegant. The Roger Federer of set shots.

 

[eth-dog]

Fev from outside 50 was beautiful. Tex too. Can't stand either of them but credit where it's due.

 

[div12ressie]

middle finger to all the flogs who doubted his return tonight

 

[brutus76]

Plugger?

Tory Dickson

 

[Blind Turn]

Tory Dickson

He went alright. I’d still take Plugger though.

 

[JayJ20]

Second best game for the club after the Bulldogs game in 2021. His set shots are something else.

 

[ant555]

Have not seen the game but the fact seems that he basically won us the game. Despite me giving up on him I am glad he did. I look forward to him making me look like an idiot for many more seasons.

Took the marks that he just wasn’t for the entirety of last season.

Was Fev's leg quite that long though? Definitely a beautiful kick for goal not sure he has the distance of Wright or Tex

 

[Ambrosia]

Thought he looked better at ground level as well.

The question is it just one of those Wright games where everything clicks or was his body holding him back previously
