North Melbourne has today placed injured defender Sam Wright on the long term injury list.

The club has yet to name a replacement for Wright, but will be able to promote a rookie listed player to the senior list at any time while he's on the long term injury list - a minimum of eight weeks.

The road to recovery begins - wish Wrighty all the best and make his day by following him @sam_wright19
