Yes, we could go from a waltz to a comic opera.

Or from Carmina Burana to Gotterdamerung ... :lol:

    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?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
