Seemed to get better as the game went on, looks like he has a very good tank. What really impressed me was how powerful he was through traffic. Good speed and kept his feet. Also nice hands. Early on but I reckon he will be a good player just lacks a bit of polish.

Agreed he will move into the midfield and give us plenty. Geez Swans have some big bodies going thru there mids they are impossible to move off the ball & really good quick hands ! Hopefully Wright can develop into one of those players?

wright had some good moments and looked quite composed and ready for afl or at least nab cup level. also impressed with his ability to run out the whole game while those around him looked done. good signs.

His footy smarts, things that don't really get noticed, like blocks off the ball are also very good.

He shows a lot of promise. Good size and good endeavour.

I wasn't that wrapt in him but he certainly knows how to find the footy, which is a big plus.

Dodgey groin at the end of the game.

Just really seemed to know what to do and what to do it. Picked great options and was very composed for his age. Didn't notice any issue with his kicking either. Not sure of when but will be a player absolutely, a grade potential, hey we gotta aim high!

I have to agree. The size of the shoulders of some of the Swans were amazing.
