Dude he's been a big POS for like a monthWright dropped is![]()
The only caveat I'd add is that as long as Jones continues his role up the ground. If we drop Wright, plonk Jones in the 50 and double ruck then I'm not as happy with it.Double ruck is okay when wright isn’t also in the side
Kicked 2 goals 3 games in a row during that time. The only other player to kick multiple goals in 3 games in the last month is Langford.Dude he's been a big POS for like a month
So have plenty of others, playing arguably easier roles that we actually have depth in those spots. I’ll defend Wright because we don’t seem to play to his advantage enough and kick it to him on the lead enough. If that’s a wright issue and his work rate is down then I hope he works on that at vfl level.Dude he's been a big POS for like a month
Whilst I 100% with that I also note he's taken more contested marks then any other forward in the past month.Wright's issue hasn't just been goals though, it's been a mixture of intensity and second efforts. Our game is built on causing contests/being defensive at every opportunity and backing your teammates up. When Wright doesn't get the mark or goal, he doesn't bring it to ground to advantage and lags behind his opponents. He's been a liability, especially defensively. His omission is justified.

Wright has been pretty average in the ruck. Can not play all 3 .
Moses didn't actually part the waters, he drowned, it's all fake news.
Gawn goes down, Melb. stuffed.Most good teams play 3 front half talls
Last years grand finalists were Cameron, Cox, Frampton (Mcstay if healthy)
Vs Big O, Hipwood and Daniher
GWS with Briggs/Hogan/Cadman
Swans: Grundy, McDonald, Amarty
Freo, Adelaide, Port, Geelong, Dogs
Melbourne is frantically trying to find a 3rd tall to pair with Gawn and Van Ruyen
What The good teams listed above have in common is that their smalls actually pressure where we pick slow mediums as smalls so when our terrible entries go to ground we don’t have the ability to defend
I agree.And what's he done with what? Taking contested marks as a 2m+ player shouldn't even be a noticeable accolade, it should be a given. Especially from a player at his stage of his career.
all we are lacking is a classy small forward and a good coach.
Watson had masses of natural talentWright is Shane Watson.
is actually really productive but when things go wrong gets blamed because with his ability you think he should be better.
Meanwhile others who aren’t producing much of anything get much more rope
Watto averaged roughly 42 coming in at #1.Watson had masses of natural talent
And he averaged low 30s opening the batting for 3 years
While occasionally savaging a weak opponent
Good comparison
Was going to make a similar comment. Glad he was listed as omitted rather than managed.
