Ah, no tetanus. Just as good.

 

[DERO]

Tightness or awareness?

as long as it wasn't a knock he'll be fine.

 

[fishardansin]

Awareness of calf tightness.

ACUTE awareness of CALF tightness.

 

[fishardansin]

Twitter made it sound like he was being carried from the battlefield like the end of Saving Private Ryan

He was, then he remembered he wasn't playing soccer and stopped acting.

Hi guys.

Just letting you know Wright has NO issue at all with his calf. The problem is mild and won't be an issue and is at the front of his leg involving a slight strain to the muscle going to his toe. A real storm in a teacup. Cheers.

WAS IT CAUSED BY A KNOCK?

I remember when the Saga was just a storm in a teacup. 2LP could be out for the season.

Sorry, but I had to laugh. "Wright has no issue... describes issue"

Bombers rejoicing as important cog set to return​

Essendon expects tall forward Peter Wright to resume running this week after being cleared of serious injury following a scare at training last week.

The Bombers confirmed Wright had only experienced tightness in his calf, which the club said had settled well over the players’ short late-January break.

Wright gave Bombers’ fans a scare last Wednesday when he left the training track early during the club’s match simulation session with a calf issue.

Precautionary scans have since cleared the 203cm forward of any serious damage to his calf.

After a five-day break, the Bombers’ players will return to the club on Tuesday.


The Bombers said Wright was expected to be back running this week.

I am sure 2MP appreciates being referred to as a 'cog'.

I overlooked the adjective, the Herald Sun gets me again!

I knew eventually they would start using adjectives

I believe adverbs are also in the project plan. ETA 2025.

Our midfield could never lock down like that.

2MP was apparently in training last week when Langford was on radio. Langers seemed to think Wright would definitely be playing in yesterday's intraclub match sim, but he didn't actually end up getting involved. Not sure if that's a setback or what...

will rely on a return to form this year, while Bomber spearhead Peter Wright will put forward his outstanding form last season as they look to secure new deals.

Jon Ralph

Peter Wright will look to secure a lucrative new deal at the Bombers after a superb last season.

McConville is attempting to broker a new deal for Essendon’s best-and-fairest winner Peter Wright but at this stage is some way off securing that new contract.
Gold Coast paid a chunk of Wright’s 2021-22 salary but this year Essendon will pay all of what is still a ridiculously modest deal given his 53 goals in 2022.
“We are having conversations with Essendon with Peter,” McConville said.

“It is taking a bit of time. Clearly he’s coming off a career-best season and top five in the Coleman with a best-and-fairest. It is getting to what his true value is. He hasn’t come at a huge cost to Essendon and Peter backed him in and now it’s for Essendon to consider what his value is and they know that.”

The four forwards ahead of Wright in the 2022 Coleman Medal have all secured lucrative deals across their careers in Charlie Curnow
