not sure I follow...pick 86 is not for a rookie 

Rather than use 86 on a speculative kid and have to give them a 2 year contract, we will us it to upgrade wagner and use his rookie spot, and a 1 year deal, on a speculative kid

    I had a look at the Richmond game last night. Wagner's game was very good, especially some of his work in close. I had a feeling at seasons end he would be upgraded, and who knows what the future holds for him. He will be battling a good number of players for a spot for sure, but he proved to me that he is competent enough to play at senior AFL level. Josh gets a full pre season under his belt  and the competition for places in the senior side gets just that little bit tougher. And I'm sure neither Josh or the match committee want to see him as a senior player languishing at Casey like Dean Terlich.

    Josh Wagner played well this year. He deserves a promotion as most likely he will contribute to the team more than pick  47 etc. We can use his rookie place to recruit a mature age ruckman,

    OK with the 2 years. 

    Showed promise off half back. Nice height at 189cm and will hopefully add some more muscle to his 84kgs. Smooth runner and good overhead. Needs to be more consistent with his disposal which will hopefully improve after his second AFL pre season.

    I think this a a good thing. Wagner was selected in the rookie draft last year and ends up playing 14 games in his first season. a proper reward for a kid that achieves as much as he has in his first season. 

    I am sure he will not rest there and will be looking to play as many games as he can no matter what the competition is for a place in the 22. 

    Well done that man.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
