Nathan Wright !!

Post: # 1284400Post Eastern »

His bio says he has an appetite for a contest. My reading of that is that he just might have a bit of MONGREL in him. I like that !!

really like the like of this one - tough, good hands, kicking apparently about iffy but he looks like he loves the contested footy. good interview too on the afl.com.au trade tracker vid.

He is super quick though and actually couldn't remember him until I watched the highlights again. He doesn't seem like a bad kick is the funny thing.

If he can't kick he can take Grams spot and join

The Pelican wouldn't have taken him as our first pick if he can't kick.

According to a mate who played a lot with Nath, he's a good player and a good guy but is prone to turning it over.

He seemed to constantly Hit the Target in his highlight reel. May not be the longest kick. Hold On, thats starting to sound a bit like Bakes !!

He has an awkward kicking style, but on the highlights reel he always found a target (maybe because it is a highlights reel).

he is a pretty solid young lad too.... hopefully see something sooner rather than later...

seems this draft was worse than was made out.... to be playing moneyball by 24 is pretty average

Moneyball? Don't see how Wright fits that bill. White is pretty much the antithesis of Moneyball.


Yeah nah pleasing positive

He wouldn't want to have questionable kicking... personally would have taken Jacobs over Wright. I just really hope he isn't an iffy kick...

Kicking I would more classify as untidy. Can be good, can be bad. Something that can be fixed, it's not like he has flawed kicking.
