Wright to attack: Saints' lockdown man to turn creator

ST KILDA defender Nathan Wright is pushing to prove his fitness ahead of the Saints' opening NAB Challenge match as he eyes a full-time role across half-back this season.

Wright, who suffered a torn left calf one month ago, will likely miss the Saints' intra-club match this Saturday, but he is expected to be available for the first pre-season game, against the Brisbane Lions on February 28.

The 21-year-old, who has otherwise enjoyed his strongest pre-season yet, is ready to showcase a more attacking game after three years honing his shutdown traits.

"For this year, my biggest focus has been getting involved more in offence," Wright told AFL.com.au. 

"In my first couple of years I tried to nail down my defence and stop my man and I feel comfortable having that part of my game down pat now.

"This year I've put a big focus on getting 15-20 possessions every game and helping rebound the footy coming out of defensive 50.

"With my improved fitness, hopefully that will help me run out games better and get those possessions on a weekly basis."
