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

[Shinbonermagic]

Yeah I didn't really rate Sammy and would often think he wasn't good enough , he certainly proved me wrong.

I think the real turning point was the elimination final last year against *, hasn't played a bad game since. Good on you Sammy on a good year and a new contract, well deserved.

The points are a rolling total of the last forty games.

He also won't play on Stringer. Far too powerful for Wright.

Stringer is 4 cm taller, but he doesnt play as a "Tall" he's lightening quick...........thats why I'm leaning Sam might play on him.

 

[LuvtheKangas]

WTF ??

Nice way to welcome a New Brother here folks...........

appease the hethans 98, may I suggest the the year you born 67??

On your first point, you might have missed the posts I was referring to.

On your second point .... Huh???

 

[ozzyoslo]

Yet you continually ride Harpers dick so why on earth would anyone listen to your opinion on any player on our list.

You have a way with Words DR..........

He's too powerful 1-on-1 for Sam.

Needs Firrito or Thompson.

Somebody offered Tarrant and let Thommo go on the other tall forward.

I wasn't. He alleged (not opined) that LMac was recruited on sentiment. I directed him to the post that proved the allegation wrong.

Still don't understand for a second what you meant by the next bit.

 

[year of the roo]

His manager just refuted claims that he signed.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Why would NMFC announce it if it wasn't true?

And no, that's not an invitation to throw more shit at them.

 

[NMFCARSENAL98]

Is ir just me or do you think there is something a bit fishy about this whole 'bonus year' on his contract thing... I am a bit skeptical

 

[Flawed Genius]

So the club announces he's triggered a clause in his original one year (14-15) contract which extends it to a two year contract (14-16) and Wright's manager has flatly denied it?

North Melbourne defender Sam Wright is pushing for a long-term contract extension after reaching a games trigger to keep him at the club in 2016, with his manager taking to Twitter to refute the fact that he had re-signed.

Wright has played every game this season, and is believed to feel his strong form as a rebounding and lockdown defender should be rewarded beyond a one-year deal.

While he is contractually obliged to be at the club in 2016, he would become an unrestricted free agent should he not re-commit beyond that point.

The Roos say they are comfortable with where discussions are situated in relation to a further extension, with a club spokesman saying that talks were ongoing.

Wright's South Australian manager, Greg Size of Deliver Sports Management refuted a club tweet suggesting that Wright had re-signed already, saying that further contract talks had been put off until the season is completed. "A bit cheeky guys, he hasn't signed anything yet," Size tweeted.

So old mate is saying that because Wright signed a contract in '14 for one year with a trigger, he didn't have to sign to be a contracted player for '16.

He must be talking about an extension.

 

[giantroo]

I guess it was a 'cheeky' marketing ploy by the media team.

 

[Shermanator]

If he's reliable now just think how good he'll be in 2 years time - sign him up for another 2yr extension after 2016 please Euge!
Like I said a couple of weeks ago he's quickly becoming John Blakey MKII

 

[ansonholt]

Four year deal. Get it done, show some faith and lock him down. He is a must-have.

 

[Benno_900]

Absolute disgrace that he was dropped after rnd 1.

Fishy as players come good around the 100 games mark.............yes.

1 year is plenty.

He is one of the massive culprits of not playing 4 quarters each week.

Will be struggling to get a game this time next year.
