AFL Player #20: Peter Wright

[Lore]

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

 

[eth-dog]

He's in a form slump, that's for sure. Can't say he doesn't work hard though, covered the most ground tonight.

Think it's time we went back to him being second ruck though. He's pretty good at it and it gives him a chance to get a different opponent for 20% of the game

 

[Vander18]

Very difficult for key forwards when ball movement is so slow and entries are so haphazard. I wouldn’t judge him to harshly right now.

 

[Bombers36]

He’s definitely out of form - hasn’t kicked a goal for over a month and is not clunking those big contested marks like he was earlier in the season…I’d start him in the ruck against the Saints…

 

[Howard Moon]

Still hand in the air pointing instead of leading at the carrier, then cracks it when the ball drops short to the defender

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

That mark he missed late in front of the goal square sums up his current lack of confidence even given slippery conditions

 

[NAB777]

Busted his butt last night to try to work himself into the game, which was great to see.

 

[Lore]

Clocks up his 100th AFL game this week, unless I’m badly mistaken

Correct.

You are not.

 

[Nifft]

Correct.

You are not.

[eth-dog]

Fantastic game

 

[Bombers36]

He’s so powerful

Moves as good, stronger hands, better kick, smarter forward

King ****ing wishes he has Wright’s work ethic and kicking technique, Wright has covered 15k in each of the last 2 games.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Credit where it’s due - this has been a stunning trade for us.

I reckon he does that every week or close to it

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Loved Poite's game tonight. I think having Jones back helps him out too.

 

[brutus76]

nice work POIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caught on the broadcast that Martin covers more ground, per game, than any other AFL player in the comp. Huge if correct but geez, Wright covers a fair bit of ground for a big guy.

 

[MiguelM]

With Jones back in the side we have the luxury of 2MP being able to roam up to the wings. He has been good there last two weeks.

And his kicking action is accurate and uncomplicated. Don't have to look away when he is lining up.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Great game. But do we want him to kick 4 or 5 on occasion, or would we prefer to have him kick 2 every week? I say latter.

 

[Nifft]

Great game. But do we want him to kick 4 or 5 on occasion, or would we prefer to have him kick 2 every week? I say latter.

I'd love him to kick 4 or 5 on occasion, and to kick 2 every other week

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Even though his stats look decent, I thought he was pretty ordinary for much of the game on Friday.

Got some junk time goals at the end.

Needs to provide a better contest

 

[Call Me Cake]

In an ideal world, yes, but that ain't happening so it's either or. He tends to go weeks with nothing, and then produces a cheeky 4 or 5 in a game.

You see Harry Jones come back and he's consistently bobbing up to contribute week to week on the scoreboard (pure KPF stuff), so there is absolutely no reason Wright, who should be more experienced and has been on the park for longer this year, shouldn't at least be doing the same.
