Yep, maybe too much muscle has a negative effect.
Not able to change direction quickly like Wright.

His manic front half defending made a significant difference - he gets to contest after contest, and scraps around well enough that he went at about a goal a game (that's how I recall it, haven't checked).
He's a different player to Weller, in that he can change direction much quicker (hence, the contest to contest).
And, he's brave (not that Weller isn't, but Wright's crazy brave) - wasn't it against Girlong last year, when he came back on all busted up from prior efforts?
I'm a Wrighty fan (in case you couldn't tell) good/v.good 1st year, Geary busted his leg early in his 2nd, then Betts busted his jaw, badly, in his 3rd(the last 2 might be arse about). No luck, stuck with it, and they got it right when they shifted him forward.
Yes, we have possibly too many who don't get enough of it, but Wrighty better than most, makes it hard for opponents to get it out.
It's his mid distance kicking that is his flaw, but playing forward that's a lot less of a problem than it is when he comes off half back.
Wright played in the first game this year with only 8 disposals before being omitted until this round.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Maybe the saints should get you down to advise on training loads and their weights program

Ridiculous Paddy kicks 7 - could have had 10 they said - and Richo still won't play him. No wonder clubs are circling. We better kick enough goals tonight that's all I'll say #playpaddy

Another useless post!
I've got a long way to go to catch up with your truckload of useless posts. My point is much more long term. But I know strategic thinking is difficult for you. Shush now little baby.
