Could Wagner replace Strauss?

Anything to keep out of brahms way ... but will we roll over on beethoven?

Now that we've all composed ourselves, I thought it might be time to introduce some serious notes to this topic.

Over at the Magpies Bulletin Board, their guru on recruiting matters is Colin Wisbey who we've quoted before. When asked about Wagner he was able to provide these notes which he stressed weren't based on any formal notes from the time he was in the mix as a prospective junior draft choice. I've also added his comments on another member of The Recruit hopefuls:-

* Johann Wagner:

189cm slim right-foot lead-up "full forward". Good ethic, handy pace. Very good intuitive judgement (timing, positioning etc) for a lead-up forward. Can take a nice mark (mainly on a lead) but can be a bit 2-grab against a decent-sized opponent.

In SANFL U19/U18, I saw him 5 times in '08 and 2009. Kicked 3g in 2 of those games but generally didn't get enough ball, even for his role.

Invited to 2008 SA Screening Session so had attracted some interest AFL from at least 2 AFL clubs. However, I didn't include him in my rankings as, AFL-wise, he's somewhat of a "tweener" - not really tall / heavy enough for KP yet hasn't displayed enough tricks / zip to picture him as an AFL flanker.

Update:

Played U18/U19s for 2 seasons (2008-9) for Port Magpies but left SANFL straight after missing out in 2009 draft as 19yo and played for a Port Lincoln club before returning to SANFL in 2014 to play Seniors (#18) for Central District.

By 2014 had bulked up enough for 3rd marking forward at AFL level but I still suspect he's a tweener re AFL level.
-------------

* Chris Moreland:

Played 11 TAC games for Geelong Falcons in 2007, mainly as a 184cm Macaffer-type forward (but nowhere near as prolific).

Impressive (5g, 21d) against the poor Bendigo team late July but barely noticeable in most of his other TAC games that season.

Pace query. I also queried his foot smarts at the time.

Seemed to be of decent character but never looked an AFL prospect.

No doubt there will be a chorus of opposition, as they must have pulled some strings. I can hear the drums beating now ...

And Damian Drum, ex-Freo coach. Blows his own trumpet a bit too much, would you say?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
