Wright and Minchington re - sign- 2 years

[Bluthy]

Congrats to Nath and Dazza but two years? That ties up our precious list space when I think we should be trying to find more real talent especially those with good disposal and decision making. I'm not a huge fan of either to be honest but they do fit Richo's pressure game plan well.

Really? No, really?

That's a really pathetic post mate.

Those two were part of the reason we won 12 games this year.

Awww...did I hurt your feelings talking about little Minch-winchy. Here I wrote you a poem to cheer you up. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin:

Twas the night before the Carlton game
And all through St Kilda
Nothing was stirring
Cos we thought that we’d kill them

The Blues had a big lead
Then then Minch lit up the joint
Kicking goal after goal
The Saints were down by just 5 points

Up stepped Chris Judd
Saying "I'll stop this thing…
By applying a tackle…
Known as a chicken wing”

He gave Minch a punch
He gave Minch a pinch
But the Minch didn't flinch
Not even an inch!

Minch reeled onto his right
And slammed it through the goals
Saints win the game
The Minch stole the show!

Up stepped Rebecca Judd
And gave Minch a big hug
She lingered quite long
With a slight pat on his butt

Whispered the weather girl
in quite a swoon
“I see my warm front…
Moving on top of you soon”

Chris was distraught
“Oh Rebecca its you that I crave
Please don’t leave me
I’ll even give up my beloved Man Cave”

But the lovely Rebecca was not swayed
“Oh poor Chris, how could you compare…
The Minch has no dodgy groin..
And has a full head of hair….”

So Minch and Rebecca adjourned to his house
But they did not get much sleep
For the Minch did with Rebecca that night
What lonely New Zealand men do with sheep

And for those who have read this far
Then the pay-off is this
For this was the tale
Of how the Minch stole Chris’ Missus

It's an interesting move

Wright for all of his limitations has one really key strength... In addition to having the right attributes for a defensive forward, he seems to be able to hit the score board regularly. One can hope that if he can continue to develop as hoped, he may become a really tricky match up... That rare breed of both offensive and defensive match up.
Really happy for the kid... Loved him before he broke his leg and I thought he was sunk going into this year.

Minch is a bit harder to pin down. He seems to play the same type of role but everything about him suggests that he's a midfielder in waiting...
He too has the gift of more consistently hitting the scoreboard. IMO it's interesting to juxtapose him with Sinclair... It seems as though they're both being played the other's ideal position to develop a weakness in their respective games.
Sinclair is being pushed up the ground more to develop his running game and ball getting game... A skill Minch has
Minch is playing more up forward to develop his ability to hurt the opposition
