Geez Lynch and Wright wmare going to cause some head aches in the next few years.

really hope gazza isnt injured again had a shocking run

Thank f## the Pies drafted DeGoey instead of Wright. Nothing against DeGoey, but Wright is gonna be something else.

To have had pick 1 & 5 in that draft, and done a Hawks (Buddy/Rough) of our own (McCartin/Wright).

I reckon they'll be regretting that decision.

Melbourne, also.

Give me 1 freak show like Wright (lmao imagine him when he's 24+) over three Angus Brayshaws.

Whenever I see Wright dominating it reminds me of Doggies salty tears. Instead of going after Boyd they could've used pick 6 on Wright & saved themselves 6 odd million. Not to mention they would've received a first rounder for Griffin too.

Imagine Hogan and Wright as a forward duo

going to go down as the worst trade in the history of afl

Boyd isn't fit to polish Wright's freckly feet.



He's like Bronson from Around The Twist on meth.

Jake "Holding The Ball" Stringer, there's something satisfying about seeing his enormous head going towards the ground in a tackle. I don't think I will ever get over him giving lip service to Roo at half time. If you keep at it Jake you might end up half the player Nick is.

C'mon Tiges....dent those egos a little!

hope we throw the sink at dusty love the campaigner

Gonna throw this out there - Matty Suckling isnt actually a good kick.

His stats were padded by playing in the Hawks possession game style and his unique kicking action, the long stab passes across his body, caused everyone to be fooled into thinking he was doing something 'elite' or 'special'.

Now that he has to work to hit a target he is being found out as an average utility. Not hungry enough with pressure to play full time forward, not strong enough to play full time midfield and not a good enough kick to play as a first choice half back.

Discuss.

One of the biggest downhill skiers in the game.

Is elite at being able to find space, but if the opposition makes a conscious effort to make him accountable (I'd stick Wright on him when we play them) & he really struggles. His unique kicking (awkward) action means he needs time to execute the kick. If you apply even a tiny amount of pressure on him, he shanks the kick 75% of the time

Not a fan & believe he excelled at Hawthorn due to their home ground being the wide expanses of the MCG where space was aplenty

[saintbill]

Doggies still 3 guns short of a flag side IMO. Need a KPD, a decent KPF and 1 more elite mid. The Boyd fiasco is going to stop this from happening.

And an above average ruckman
