Peter Wright

Since suffering a serious shoulder injury on the eve of the 2023 season, he has only shown glimpses of the same key forward who kicked 53 goals two years ago. Consistency is an issue – so much so that he was dropped at the end of last season. Contracted until 2027, it would be great to see the 2022 best and fairest winner add pack marking to his arsenal.

Honours

Matthew Lloyd Leading Goalkicker (2022, 2025), Crichton Medal (2022), AFL Rising Star Nominee (2016).
