Significantly better mark and a proven accurate kick over many years. Wrights' obvious talent is as a ruckman.
My last on the topic of Peter Wright until next years trade thread when he's out of contract. Happy to take this up again. What Wright thinks he is, is irrelevant. I bet Blair thinks he's an inside mid.
Pre draft comments from Cal Twomey.
Wright hit his straps against South Australia in round four of the championships, dominating in the ruck and around the ground. Recruiters wonder whether he is a ruckman or a forward, but he looks more settled in the centre and roaming around the ground. Wright is an excellent, straight, long kick and is a contender for the No.1 position.

Looks like he's playing 3rd tall/back-up ruck to me. If not him, who do you suggest is playing that role with Gold Coast ? Sam Day, the 2nd Tall forward, missed 2 rounds between rounds 9 & 11. Keegan Brooksby came into the team and played 2nd tall forward while Wright continued to play as the 3rd tall/back-up ruck.
