We also grabbed Spenc Wight from under the Pies noses. Hope they both turn out to be stars.Old Mate wrote:Garlett got the boot from the AIS AFL academy which left an opening spot for Wright who then became more of notice.mick13 wrote:Something like Garlett dropped out and Wright was the one which replaced him.MC Gusto wrote:Gerard was saying he was highly saught after as a 17 year old and expected to go top 10 but then something changed? He kept referring to fault gartlett as well in the same conversation / remarks, anyone else pick up on that?
But why would Wright have been so sought after is he just snuck into the squad at someone elses expense? Hmm.
I don't believe Wright was ever considered top 10, more like top 20-30. The Pies were said to pick him however they didn't expect Grundy to slide and chose him instead. Apparently the Hawks were also set to select him with their first pick.
It's good that two clubs (Hawks and Pies) with a good recruitment record of recent were also keen on Wright.

Does the afl consider who the nominee is playing? for example Anderson was playing Collingwood compared to Wright who was playing GWS.Old Mate wrote:A bit of a surprise....Jed Anderson got the rising star nom this week...looks the goods tho

I reckon being involved in the match of the round with a large audience helped. He did look bloody good tho.
