Ian HumeHOST
Uh, we're not even halfway yet.
Ian HumeHOST
So, [chuckles] um, let's motor on and into a player that I think, um, for me, um, if he had played, uh, every game this year probably would be the favorite for the best and fairest, and, and that for me is Peter Wright.
Ian HumeHOST
Um, I just thought he had a...
Ian HumeHOST
For the, for the role he had to play, um, in the team that he was playing in, I thought he was outstanding.
Ian HumeHOST
I think there's a case where, um, he's in the...
Ian HumeHOST
You know, obviously Luke Jackson is a freak.
Ian HumeHOST
Um, but, but Peter Wright's right up there as the, you know, the best forward who can go into the ruck in the competition.
Ian HumeHOST
Um, ended up playing 18 games, averaged 12 disposals, 4.3 marks, 10.9 hit outs and then 28 goals and 17 behinds.
Charlie SpecialGUEST
Mm.
Archie RobertsHOST
Um, you could argue Peter Wright i- is experienced, but, um, you know, you can, you, you can't have too much.
Archie RobertsHOST
Uh-
Charlie SpecialGUEST
Yeah
Jonathan WalshHOST
We're solely preferring to roll an extra number up around the contest.
Jonathan WalshHOST
Part of the reason why I think scoring became more difficult because it meant that we were so often outnumbered ahead of the footy and asking Nate and Katie and Peter Wright to have to do a lot.
Jonathan WalshHOST
But we were 11th for stoppage clearance differential in the first half of the season and that improved to fourth in the second half of the year.
Ian HumeHOST
Yeah, look, as I said, we can go through a whole lot of numbers across the season, but you're right.
21 MINS LATER
Ian HumeHOST
Yeah.
Ian HumeHOST
Outside of that, we touched on the fact that a lot of our more experienced players didn't really live up to what we would have expected from them this year.
Ian HumeHOST
The one senior player that I thought really stepped up and really expanded on their game was Peter Wright.
Ian HumeHOST
And that was both as a ruckman and as a forward.
JakeHOST
Fev did it until he did his injury.
AriHOST
I'd say, obviously, we spoke on Hogan, but Peter Wright is, again, one of them where it's like, for the right price, absolutely, I'd have a look.
AriHOST
He's in the camp of just tall men who can just mark the ball and kick 40 goals.
AriHOST
Kick straight.
Mark McVeighGUEST
If we can get some support around him.
Mark McVeighGUEST
I think Peter Wright's had a really good year and is starting to play-
Dan GorringeHOST
Mm
Mark McVeighGUEST
... um, even better footy.
Jonathan WalshHOST
To me, it, it looked like he had this habit of sort of getting his, his kicking hand too far in front of himself.
Jonathan WalshHOST
It's actually something that, that troubles Peter Wright when his confidence is down.
Jonathan WalshHOST
And, and what that means is that his foot is then having to chase the ball, and he loses sort of momentum through his, through his kicking, and, um, and he, he seems to have got that ball drop a lot closer to his body now, and, and that's really helping him straighten up and kick through the ball a lot better and, and at least find some, some improved consistency.
Jonathan WalshHOST
I also think the last couple of weeks it really helped to have Peter Wright not have to go into the ruck.
Jonathan WalshHOST
So he-- You know, Nate didn't have to contend with having, you know, the necessarily the best defender all the time, or the tallest, or the biggest, or, or getting double teamed as often as he was.
Jonathan WalshHOST
You, you know, think about that period where once Archer May went out of the side, Nate was often having to take two or three tall defenders at, at one time and, and, you know, didn't get too many easy looks.
Jonathan WalshHOST
Nothing for any Essendon player this year was easy, but at least with that sort of better structure ahead of the footy that, that Peter Wright helps give you, Nate was able to get on the end of some easier opportunities.
Jonathan WalshHOST
Went and crunched some data this week.
Archie RobertsHOST
These guys are hoping to be playing as much football as possible in 2027.
Archie RobertsHOST
What we do know is that Peter Wright has been didn't finish the game against Port Adelaide with a knee injury.
Archie RobertsHOST
We don't yet know the severity of that injury, so we have to wait and see what that is.
Archie RobertsHOST
Hopefully, he's not off to the side for too much longer.
Michael RobertsCORRESPONDENT
Up goes Wright.
Michael RobertsCORRESPONDENT
[crowd cheering] Ground level Peter Wright throws a boot at it.

Leigh MontagnaHOST
And he's been in the right spot at the right time on a couple of really important occasions in this second half.
Leigh MontagnaHOST
Mickey Roberts.
Leigh MontagnaHOST
Peter Wright, two meter Peter done.
Leigh MontagnaHOST
He's done.
Archie RobertsHOST
They kicked three.
Archie RobertsHOST
Our two goals were from Nate Caddy and Peter Wright.
Archie RobertsHOST
Outside of those two goals, it was really a quarter void of skill for the most part for the home side.
Archie RobertsHOST
specifically.
6 MINS LATER
Archie RobertsHOST
It was guys like Will Brodie and Jace Burgoyne really just dominating out of the midfield at times in that last quarter.
Archie RobertsHOST
It was way too easy for them to score from there.
Archie RobertsHOST
And to continue the bad news as well, before we talk about the positives, Peter Wright and that knee, we don't know how bad that is, but he came from the ground, didn't finish the game with a knee injury.
Archie RobertsHOST
was apparently looking really, really proppy from those on the sidelines as well.
Matthew CoxHOST
Caddy's got four.
Matthew CoxHOST
Peter Wright from beyond 50 at right half forward.
