The former rookie was a real success story in 2011, playing 19 games and filling a need as a small crumbing forward. The unobtrusive 22-year-old is a natural footballer, possessing clean hands and great goal sense. Promoted to the senior list for season 2012, Wright has the capacity to join the midfield rotation.

David Noble: “Matty's an efficient and classy player. Sometimes you need to watch the tape to pick up all the work he does. He's very confident in his own ability and for him to be able to produce what he did in that tough small forward role was an exceptional achievement. He hasn't had a lot of fuss or bother. We talk about Petrenko and Talia being shining lights, but Matty was just as good as any of those younger guys in the system. He's showed some really classy and clever signs in the midfield too. He's been able to do that at SANFL level for a couple of years, and if he gets himself really fit he's another who could challenge for a spot in the midfield this season.”
