AFL Player 20: Peter Wright - Club Leading Goalkicker!

[Lore]

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

 

[Vindicater]

middle finger to all the flogs who doubted his return tonight

He did this last year in his return game as well.

I am holding out until I see it consistently again.

 

[eth-dog]

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

Yeah, 55 was about his limit whereas Tex and Wright can go into the late 50's

 

[jannissary]

Tory Dickson

he came to mind for me as well, rarely miskicked the ball

 

[TheUnicorn]

Best player in the comp.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

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.

You'll really appreciate his attack on the footy, which you have rightly pointed out has been missing for ages.

Wright is crazy. I thought the one he missed the lot on was because he stabbed at it from 45m out

Spot on. That was more pleasing than the goals. His second efforts and attack on the man/footy is something I have rarely seen in his game even when he kicked a bag.

Maybe the penny has dropped and he knows his career depends on it.

 

[bommer16]

I recall the 5 he kicked on his return against Carlton.
Welcome back Pete!

He also celebrated his goals with a bit of mongrel as well. New man.

 

[eth-dog]

He also averages 2 goals/game against Collingwood

 

[Agronomus]

I can't wait until Tsatas does it as well

I can't wait until Tsatas does it as well

Then I can be the village idiot

 

[Vander18]

Then I can be the village idiot

You won’t be alone….

 

[ant555]

You won’t be alone….

Its a big village

As if he’s 29.

I need to plan my funeral asap

 

[ghostdog]

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.

I have a shit eating grin. So what?

So so happy for this bloke. Career at a genuine crossroads and he came in and and grabbed his opportunity with both hands (literally). Really hope he can keep it going and prove that 2022 wasn't an anomaly.

So do I, but I'm still sceptical. I reckon Scott is too; he made a point of differentiating Wright's history of strong return-from-injury games from those week-in week-out in recent years.

Anyway, we'll all be watching and hoping. With any luck Caddy is the beneficiary and gets off the chain a bit.

Little bit of a veiled rev up for 2MP

 

[ghostdog]

Yeah I think so too. It was definitely sideways.

 

[astrowizzle]

I look at him and reckon he has put on some upper body size since last year. Could give him confidence.
Ripper of a kick. Just fluent

 

[jannissary]

rewatched a bit of the game, and he "looked" much more confident

I think he's looking more defined this year rather than bigger, so maybe he's been working more on his fitness. He didn't seem as cumbersome as he normally is. At times he almost seemed sprightly for a big fellow.

 

[Donflicted]

will eat my words came back in great form and shape

Please keep at it
