I was speaking just now with a person who works in the TAC Cup system and he expressed the view that if there was one key player/big man worth investing in if he had a pick in the top three then it would be Two Metre Peter Wright who is tall, can play forward and play ruck. I was told that he would take little time to adapt to the rigours of AFL and would be a perfect replacement for Mitch Clark as a forward/ruckman in todays football. I mentioned Luke McAlister's phantom draft in another thread. This is what he says about TMP ~ Luke McAlister's Phantom Draft and from Callum Twomey on the afl.com.au site My informant says if we got Brayshaw/Wright with picks 2 and 3, we would have a perfect combination of players from the early reaches of the draft and we would have to be tempted with a very, very special (pronounce in McAvaney style) trade to part with either of those picks. Of course, as mentioned by McAlister, the risk/reward aspect of taking a big man early is high but I relish the thought of a combination of this bloke and Jesse Hogan dominating our forward line and destroying opposition defences for the next ten to fifteen years.
