AFL Player #20: Peter Wright

[Lore]

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

 

[Beerfish]

Looked like a good game to me. Could have been better if he'd taken all his opportunities but was still good.

 

[ant555]

Dropped a couple of early marks he should have held but was generally good. Played in front 90% of the time and did well when it was his turn in the ruck.12 disposals 6 marks 17 hit outs . Decent game.

 

[ghostdog]

Have just seen Wright's mark.

Schwing!

His ruck work was surprisingly good.

is a good defender, kicking 3 on him is nothing to sneeze at

 

[BrunoV]

He's so close but it's not clear he is bridging the gap that holds him back.

If he cuts out the butter finger spills and pulls down one more big mark he gets his hands to, or even just continues to work on holding his ground he'll be a 2 goal a game player.

He's already 1.3 to 1.5 with his flaws.

On the move and in space he's extremely hard to stop even if he's marking is not what we want it to be. He's a giant with a giant reach very few players can legally spoil.

All of this but also he’s just a lovely kick for such a huge bloke, makes a massive difference when you can take your chances (65% career goal kicking accuracy is very good).

A very good defender.

With Jones' injury, he just became all the more important right now.


I think eth-dog hit the nail on the head with his suggestion of 1.5 goals a game being the goal for Peter.

. 2MP is really going to need Francis/Baldwin working hard if he wants to find some space.

 

[windyhill]

Hot, cold, hot, cold, hot cold. Sorry lions, he’s due a hot one.

 

[Blind Turn]

He tapered off largely because we had minimal clear possession forward of centre after qtr time and when we did we hesitated or turned it over. It’s actually quite tasty to contemplate what he could achieve when up and about and our team dominating the midfield. His kicking is something that can make him a true weapon.

 

[ant555]

Harris Andrews. 2MP is really going to need Francis/Baldwin working hard if he wants to find some space.

Stringer and Francis both did a bit of work to find him space

 

[TheGrizz]

When we were able to move the ball effectively, this guy looked dominant.

Don't think he will ever be a number 1 key forward, but he could be a handy number 2 if the right forwardline is around him.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Peter Wright is a 203cm player with a 183cm player ball drop.

Just so fluid.

 

[Lore]

that one-handed mark with May clobbering him was sensational.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Wright.
Perkins.
Martin.
Durham.
Caldwell.

Probably Essendon's only positives so far this season.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Why can’t he be our number 1?

 

[Maxabillions]

Two metres of pure sex

 

[VelvetSledge]

Can't believe we got him for a future fourth.

Coleman form

 

[doug85]

Love 2MP. Very shrewd piece of business

 

[Halloween Jack]

I love the big red headed fella, what a beast

 

[TheGrizz]

9 goals to start the year is a great return.

If he can kick 40+ goals this season that is a huge plus.
