Reckon the trick will be persevering with him, which they have so far.

Got to give him the first 10-12 games to get some consistency and meet the levels required and live with a few stinkers in that stretch.

Yup.
And gives us the option to cycle through Flip and Bryan with a good backup option.

That boundary set shot was ridiculously good.

 

[DeezNuts]

Absolutely dominated the second half of the game

Has anyone touched on how good his field kicking is/was? He was going for very aggressive kicks and hitting them.

This is overlooked - he is a beautiful field kick.

A) He isn't a fulltime ruckman, so last night he played the role we recruited him for, so a massive tick for him.
B) Um Joey would never have kicked those two clutch goals..... EVER!!!

You mean apart from all those times he did?

Let me think. Hawthorn last year, was a huge part of the surge. 2017 vs Carlton, kicked the first of the last when we needed it desperately. Same year, kicked a goal against Geelong when they got within 10 and coming, I could go on and on.

A couple in the autopsy thread against the Dogs last year it seems, and a couple in trade/FA.

Anyone mentioned he had 90% TOG?

 

[Chief Hopper]

Great to see Peter's impact around the ground. Those contested marks staggered Collingwood's momentum. I'm so used to the opposition doing that against us!

 

[boncer34]

Got 2 votes from each coach.

 

[Cold Sober]

Great game from the big fella, few more of those will keep the natives very happy.

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Absolute dead-eye.

It's nice to have blokes like Wright, Walla and Waterman who you know are gonna kick the goal

 

[rumply]

The dude has a point.

 

[Mercurial89]

The goals, the marks etc were great.

But I thought he was having a fine game when he had 5 tackles in the first half and had the intercept punch when they were coming out of the 50 which Perkins picked up.
At that time it was his effort and I felt that if he just brought that for a few weeks he would have a breakout game. I've felt the same with Jones, the workrate some guys are showing you can tell it will turn for them.

Peter got his rewards in the same game which is such a good thing for his confidence and his growth on such a big stage.

The dude has a point.

You can praise a guy without tearing the other down.

Daniher literally won the medal in our last ANZAC win. His whole career is full of big goals.

 

[MiguelM]

Watching the replay you could literally see Wright's confidence lift when took that first mark.

Hopefully backs it up this week.

Will be massive boost if he can continue that form.

You can but where's the fun in that

No, he doesn't

No, he doesn't

I've watched Joe kick the last couple of weeks & feel he does.

I've watched Joe his entire career and know that he doesn't. He's kicked absolutely vital goals all throughout his career, saying otherwise is disengenuous at best.

Say what you will about Joe, but when we needed him to kick high pressure goals he usually delivered.

Yes I had the dubious pleasure of seeing all his career kicks for goal as well & while he is a beautiful kick of the footy, he's spraying one of those shots, that's just part of the package.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Who can forget the six behinds in first half against Dees at Marvel a few years ago? Ah yes

I disagree.
