AFL Player 20: Peter Wright

[Lore]

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

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.

That is a pretty useful skill as a KPF, no?

 

[ghostdog]

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

Agree. He's depth.

 

[fairbump_playon]

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

Oooh. I love a good period drama.

I do think you are disregarding the best part about Smack.. his freakish moments. The hope they delivered!

His best is about 5 times better than Wright’s. It’s just that it only happens for about 3 minutes out of a 22 round season.

You and my wife would get along well...

I'll show myself out.

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

Nah, I love Smack but he’s been umpired out of the comp. The way he attacks ruck and marking contests is completely flawed for the way the game is umpired now despite being perfect for 20 years ago. You take the tall clunker in the era of no contact and verticality.

My only issue with Wright is that he’s got a pancake arse. Cannot hold his ground in marking contests. High centre of gravity.

Workrate around the ground and skills have been pretty good.

Thought he was much better in much less favourable conditions against McInerney who I thought was primed to monster Wright.

OMac is a massive, massive man and I thought Wright generally beat him. He certainly matched him physically and had the better of the boundary throw-ins. Some of Wright's follow up was also pretty good.

I know it will probably end in tears but I would love for Wright to be the number 1 against Grundy. Really set himself for the physical battle to set the standard for what Wright needs to bring for the rest of his time.

Agree with Bruno that Wright was more competitive this week, though he's far from a number one ruck.

We're probably better off playing Langford ruck all game long.

Thanks Wallsy.

Probably not though in non-kelvin land.

Amazing what happens when he plays the role he was recruited for.

[Gabe251]

Fantastic break out game. Proved he is better than smack.

 

[MiguelM]

Some real telling marks in the second half. Nice straight kick too.

 

[ghostdog]

Solid game, Peter. Do it again.

He was never meant to be our number 1 ruck. That’s clear as day

He finally clunked one half way through that game and his confidence went through the roof. Not fumbly after that and looked super from that point. Was involved with tackles early when things were not going his way. He should be walking taller tonight.

 

[Darealrath]

Fantastic.

 

[Donakebab]

Solid game, Peter. Do it again.

Solid game? It was enormous, should be in the votes. Just eat some of that nummy humble pie.

 

[EnolaGay]

I reckon he set a great example for the young ones today!

Best game for us by a mile, showed what he’s capable of. More please, 2LP.

Hands were good too. Made some smart kicks and had a defensively good game.

Bottle that.

This needs to be his level
