Never understood why he hasn't been used that way for a string of games. I wouldn't have thought Wright was much quicker than Lyons really and Lyons is certainly a lot better at finding the ball.
Lyons is good overhead for his size

Wright's role is as a link man half forward, like a shorter version of Lynch, not a crumber. Person coming in for him needs to be doing repeat sprints up and down the flank, taking marks and hitting forwards inside 50, kicking goals is an extra rather than a core component. If Lyons is parked in the pocket crumbing goals then he's competing with Cameron and Betts for a spot.

That was a nice mark by Shaw, just ran straight past from the back position.

Nice kick by Grigg, a beating being handed down now.

Sorry, haven't noticed Wright doing this too often.

Kerridge might be a good bet for this role.
