Career
Recruited from
He played on the half-forward flank, kicking 96 goals in his 106 game career.
He played in the 1962 Essendon premiership team that beat Carlton 13.12 (90) to 8.10 (58). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962_VFL_season#Grand_Final_Teams]
1965 Preliminary Final
Within the first 10 minutes of the 1965 Preliminary Final between Essendon and Collingwood the highly skilled Somerville was knocked unconscious by his far less skilled opponent, the Collingwood half-back flanker
At the time, Wright and Somerville were some 90 metres behind the play and were isolated by some 30 metres from all other players, and were much closer to the boundary than they were to the central goal-to-goal line.
Somerville was so badly injured that he was taken off the field on a stretcher and was taken to hospital immediately. [Given the severity of his head injury, it is relevant here to recall that Somerville died of a brain tumour nineteen years later.] Due to the severity of his injuries, he was unable to play in the following week's Grand Final. [As a mark of respect from his team-mates he appears as an additional (twenty-first) player in the team's [http://www.essendonfc.com.au/club/premierships.asp?action=show_team&year=1965 Essendon's 1965 premiership photograph] . [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965_VFL_season#Grand_Final_Teams] ]
Essendon, backed by a now polarized crowd, went on to beat Collingwood 14.21 (105) to 6.6 (42). [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965_VFL_season#Preliminary_Final]
Aftermath
There was a public outcry; and the press was outraged:
The police (including the homicide squad) made some preliminary enquiries. The match officials, the field umpire
The field umpire, Ron Brophy, was never selected to umpire a VFL match again. [See [http://www.aflua.com.au/index.asp?d=5A4C5A717251477C7008060D070603 Australian Football League Umpires Association Biography: Ron Brophy] ]
Wright, too, denied everything. [Given that the Victorian Chief Secretary
However, many years later, Wright openly admitted that he had indeed felled Somerville, and claimed that his actions had been in response to Somerville’s niggling [However, the field umpire Ron Brophy, who knew both Wright and Somerville well, later spoke of Wright's claims that he was niggled by Somerville as rather hard to believe, commenting: "Somerville and Wright had some sort of exchange but it really wasn't Somerville's go to whip up a bloke like Duncan" (Hansen & Dyer, (1995), p.117).] — which (Wright claimed) had started from the moment that the taller, far more skilful Somerville had been swapped over, by Essendon's coach John Coleman, from his selected position on the opposite half-forward flank, to play on Wright. [Somerville was at least 8cm taller than Wright, and 5 kg heavier.]
Wright, was renowned for his hot-headed violence:
The Collingwood coach, the tough champion rover, the highly talented boxer, and the scrupulously fair man Bob Rose was far from impressed with Wright's knockout; and, at Rose's behest, during the 1966 pre-season practice matches — that is, when the police, VFL and general social pressure on Collingwood and Wright had somewhat diminished — Wright was told, by football club secretary Jack Burns that his services were no longer required at Collingwood. He never played another VFL game. [Strevens, (2004), p.151.]
After Essendon
Somerville left Essendon at the end of 1967, and was appointed coach of
