AFL Player #20: Peter Wright

[Lore]

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

 

[jdstorm]

If Carlton/Collingwood are trading McKay/McStay as part of a Petracca deal I’d say they will be in the market for someone like Wright as a budget replacement

Another player I'd be happy to see us trade. In a system with fast ball movement and better delivery inside 50 he could easily replicate his 50 goal season a few times over, but I can't see it happening with us. He would add a lot to a team like Mebourne or Collingwood who might be willing to give up something half decent for him.

 

[eth-dog]

I know I'm in the minority here but he's got more value for us than what he would net in a trade.

What do you think he would net us in a trade? Collingwood paid a top ten pick plus a second rounder for Schultz - I'd imagine they'd value 2MP reasonably highly.

Edit - they also don't need to 'win' every trade, they make the moves that benefit their list. I'd like to see Essendon start to do the same

I don't think he gets us a pick inside 30. And I wouldn't accept a pick outside the top 20.

 

[Blind Turn]

After our 1.9 last qtr against GC he seals a place on our list until we can find a target forward who kicks like him.

Would you accept pick 21?

 

[eth-dog]

Would you accept pick 21?

Nope. Hence the "outside the top 20 comment".

 

[Nifft]

Nope. Hence the "outside the top 20 comment".

What if we also threw in Kelly?

 

[mcgrath_truther]

What if we also threw in Kelly?

if anything that’d reduce it to well outside 40

The value is not going to matter as I doubt he has anyone knocking his door down right now.

 

[BuildEmUp]

Nope. Hence the "outside the top 20 comment".

Pies might be interested , but you got Wright for a 4th rounder, seeing he is playing VFL now and looks on the outer, cant see how he is a top 20 pick , maybe pick 60 ...

Yeah, comprehension not your strong suit, is it?

I don't think he'll net us a top 20 or even top 30 pick. So I wouldn't trade him because I think he holds more value to us than whatever we get in a trade for him.

Fine , but no need for the snide side remark .. or is that your strong suit?

Hey peanut.

Go fail comprehension 101 on your own board.

I’m not Wright’s biggest fan, and not sure he suits the modern game - but there’s no point trading him for pick 60. He’s better than that - was just woefully out of form for the last few weeks he played, including at least 1 in the wet.

We’d be better off keeping him as it’s an area we lack depth in than trading him for genuinely nothing.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

We’re not good enough to be giving up on this bloke just yet

 

[Call Me Cake]

He is a beautiful kick of the footy, he just doesn't have that killer instinct.

I always felt he was never going to be a great #1 KPF but would do better in a set up where he's got the 2nd best defender. I don't think our foward line is good enough yet to facilitate that.

 

[eth-dog]

Mate you came onto our board, literally read what I posted and proceeded to either not realise what was being said or completely ignore it so yeah, completely deserved

 

[Vindicater]

Would you accept pick 21?

Would take it and run for the hills.

 

[Vander18]

Gets one years grace on the back of his shoulder injury and possibility he was unsettled by his suspension.

The reality is that he lacked competitiveness and physicality all year. If he can’t lift in those areas then see ya later. I’ll take whatever is on offer.

These traits must become non-negotiables for EFC players - if you can’t handle contact and you aren’t a driven competitor then piss off.

 

[P Money]

Pies should be all over this guy. Future pick? Do they have anything of value for us?

Straight swap for Joe Richards maybe

Not sure if he's gettable but Quaynor was thrown up during the last couple of weeks when the media were talking about them going for Trac.

He'd fit our backline nicely.

Not really. He's just McGrath in a better side.
