Is Matthew Wright the Shane Watson of the Adelaide Football Club or is he secretly the misunderstood undercover superhero of our team?
Seen by many on the outside as a non-contributor primed for selection axing yet he is fiercely protected and lauded by Club officials and teammates for his underrated and unnoticeable actions on-field, Taylor Walker going as far as calling him one of if not the most important player in the team.
Question is what does Wright do to earn all these plaudits of those around the club? Is he so unselfish and deemed so beneficial to team structure that he is 'undroppable' or is it just the classic case of protecting a good team guy and giving him more chances then he perhaps deserves?
