[Lore]

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

Is there space for him with Hooker, Jones and Stringer there? I don't see where he fits.

This is Hooker's last year in all likelihood, Jones will need breaks throughout the year, as will Hooker probably too.

Makes him sound like a pinch hit ruck or a pinch hit forward, for this year at least.

The hooker spot is his for the taking.
Was a cheap pickup to audition whilst we rebuild
Handy that he can ruck if needed, but long term he's either our FF or not best 22

I hope he turns out to be depth in the long term or better than he is, which is ordinary. Eyre and Jones long term I hope.

If it doesnt work out but eyre, jones, baldwin and waterman do, no big loss.

I think I'm subconsciously dismissive of Baldwin's existence. It's a long road from injury, although I see Johnson could play this weekend. If Baldwin gets his body right and Eyre develops well we'll be in a very good spot.

Quietly bullish.
I would imagine we've done the homework on his rehab, and talent doesnt disappear.
There will be the question on how the knee holds up but with afl level medical facilities and coaching around him, ideally its mainly a question of good management and luck now.

Should change from 2MP to 3MP, soft inoffensive easy listening radio classics on your am dial, up next it's LRB singing reminiscing

That would explain why he is no good at the 1% ers

You must be 210cm because he towers over all but the biggest ruckmen.

I've seen him at the bulk food shop in Moonee Ponds, I'd have said he wasn't 200cm either, more like 202cm.

I heard he got stuck under the Montague street Bridge once

I feel the same. He doesn't feel real to me yet!

 

[ghostdog]

I heard he got stuck under the Montague street Bridge once

I heard he did a hand stand and kicked God in the face.

hasn't been a superstar but I think he deserves credit for not being Shaun Mckernan

I love how psychically burned by the Smack years we all are. The bar for a tall bloke to be acceptable in the 22 is now "well he doesn't give away crazy free kicks, and his neck is kinda normal length, so let's all count our blessings". Everyone nods solemnly. Yes, we are indeed very lucky.

If Smack and Wright were the same age, I'd take Smack every day of the week.

You'd be very stupid then. Wright is better, period.

thanks Eth the expert. Case closed.

One has never kicked 20 goals in a year in his 10+ year career
One has done it 3 times in his 6 year career

I wonder which one is better. Hmm.

haha I take back the expert part.

Nope. But Hooker is old, Jones is extremely young, Stringer gets injured. Worthwhile having Wright around and he cost SFA

Did you not see how Smack gave us momentum by giving away stupid free kicks when we played St Kilda?
Outside of contested marking, I can't see how Smack is better than Wright.
