Past #19: Sam Wright - "Mr September" - retiring from AFL in Round 20 - thanks Slammin' Sam

[ShinbonerBaz]

Watch the replay folks when we get on a roll he is very composed across half back and does some magnificent spoiling and rebounding when the game was at its hottest.

Well done young fella!

He kept us in it before we got on a roll..

 

[Shermanator]

He kept us in it before we got on a roll..

Wellsy wasn't bad either

 

[GS WARRIORS]

Turned the game around.

Has got back to his 2012 form in the second half of this year. Is a defender.

 

[SnowRoo]

Ive been a knocker many times.

Awesome second half by Sammy, credit where credits due

 

[ozzyoslo]

My pick for BOG....easily his best game for the club.

Never thought he'd get there to be honest. but jesus he starred tonight........Jmac had some very important touches in the tight clinches as well which were equally as important.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

was excellent. Had a few brain farts in the first, but had resolve which was excellent.

 

[Mav]

Turned the game for us. Enormous effort. Outstanding.

 

[QueenslandRoo]

I was saying the same thing as the OP right through the game. He was terrific tonight. A much maligned player who is now an automatic inclusion in our best 22. He deserves enormous credit for turning his career around. Here's hoping he has a long and stella career as a multiple premiership player!!!!

 

[Elite Master]

I was one of his big knockers and never thought he would cement his spot in the 22 due to his kicking and pace, but he was incredible in that 2nd half. He was so poised, he nailed his kicks and made great decisions, he really rid the momentum of the team and made the most of it. Well done Wright!

 

[the big lebowski]

Best game ever!

 

[Roobound]

Im very happy for him....well done Sammy

 

[Maddox]

Sam was immense tonight. Would be close to, if not the best, game he's played for us.

 

[Whereitallbegan]

Doubters can now shut the **** up.

he's been giving me the sh?ts for quite awhile now, and what greater way to respond, well done

 

[scottywiper]

His second half was quite stellar. Could be the defining moment of his career.

 

[Quivorir]

Again, told yas.

 

[utility]

He was one guy that got us going in the third. Easily in our best 22.

 

[RoyalBlue]

Cometh the hour - cometh the Sam.

 

[murray wrensted]

Will be a long line of pride swallowing, was so good tonight! I think my only posts are defending him, but tonight is the reason why!

 

[giantroo]

He was freaking unbelievable.

 

[Ahern2Boof]

He's my ****ing boy!!! Onya Sam!

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

To whoever gave me that tongue-lashing when I dissed him for being in the VFL bests ahead of who I thought had better potential: I was told then. I've been told since.

I became an Arjen.

 

[Smoocher]

I must admit he has impressed for a few weeks. Will not bag him again. Was the one that got us going in the 3rd Q tonight.

I knew there was good in you Smoocher! What a win!

It's still the bloody Age, unfortunately.
