Peter "2MP" Wright - STAY IN THE TEAM, PETER?

Hope so.

Weed kicked our first two last week?

Given today is Monday, that’s not correct.

No way 2MP goes FF. His impact is upfield at CHF where he takes marks and kicks goals from 55-60M and becomes a link from half back to half forward. Keep Weid at FF and backed up by Langford, Menzies and Guelfi.

And Stringer!

Does full forward and centre half forward actually exist anymore? It’s just 6 blokes starting in the forward line now.

Just plomk 2mp in the 50 and let him weave his magic.

Would be a huge bonus for us to get him back well before expectations. I guess we would run him as the 2nd ruck and not play the 2nd specialist in Flip or Bryan.

surely you just wait until after the bye, even if medically cleared 2 more weeks can’t be anything but a benefit

If match fitness is a thing, then playing Wright as soon as he’s medically cleared might be seen as important?

We don’t need him in the team to beat North, but we very well may need him in good touch to beat Fark Carlton and Freo.

I’m not passionate either way, but I could certainly understand that point of view.

Probably weed to second ruck. Thats what they trained all pre season and ran with befire we went to two rucks. Even though i firmly believe weed has NFI as a ruckman, i think that’s what they will do. Cant see wright rucking off a shoulder reco straight up

I almost put Stringer there but thought he is more on CHF line changing in midfield rather than the FF line

Fair enough.

Look at you with your pesky facts.

We are screaming out for an outlet marking target and Wright is our man! Get him in if he’s fit.

BRING HIM IN

Blitz: ā€œWhy are our injuries always longer than other clubs’ injuries? This club is stuffed.ā€

EFC: ā€œPeter Wright has recovered well and is ready for selectionā€

Blitz: ā€œThe club is bringing him back too soon. Why do we always bring injured players back too soon?ā€

not quite, try again.

I’m perfectly fine with 2MP coming straight back in. His mere presence on the field makes us a better team. He’ll get the best defender and subsequently Weed, Langers and Stringer are getting defenders 2-4 which allows us to expose some favourable match ups; particularly with Langford. Even if 2MP plays as somewhat of a decoy for a few weeks, he’ll have 2 games under his belt before the bye and can really hit the back half of the season with both fitness and touch.
