MUSIC TO THE EARS

The man whose names brings music to some people's ears struggled to establish a permanent place in the team. This was probably due to the fact that there is perhaps because there's so much competition for a place in defence, especially after Michael Hibberd arrived and took his spot there.

Did he have a chronic injury like a hip problem during the year? I ask because there were times during some games that he appeared to be wading through mud rather than running on top of the ground. 

No from me, Not fast enough and disposal needs a lot of work. Doesn't make great decisions,

The footy Dept seem to like him so I will defer to their judgement but with Lever in the team I suspect limited opportunities for Wags. 

 

Not the worst, but It'll be hard for him to find a permanent spot int he team with Hibberd firing on all cylinders. 

 

 

A battler and nothing more.


Well and truly on the fringes, and if nothing changes he's gone when his contract expires.

Quick to shoot someone down.

Fringe or a battler to some eyes that are blind. You need  back ups and l believe that if a Hunt or a Hibberd happen to be out he would be a more than adequate replacement. Just wait and see . He is only 23.

Does he have any trade value?

He took a step back this season. Hoping it was injury related and that he can Blossom next season. 

Spots will become harder to come by in 2018, so I don't think we will see as much of him.

Yeah...nah

A few sparks..valiant try.

Has been over taken.

Good luck and thanks.

Not a fan from his first year, but Wagner's lack of development this year was bitterly disappointing for a 23 year old in his second year in the system. He has been given plenty of opportunities, but he is still poor defensively and his skills are ordinary with or without pressure. He would need to take a major step forward next year to get a new contract.

tbh it's unfathomable and a sign that our depth is still short on quality that he played 9 games in the season

he's not overly skilled, to say the least, he's not a 'clever' player who makes great decisions, his defensive awareness is atrocious, and he doesn't seem to possess great burst speed

he looks like another in a long line of end of list players who are, in all likelihood, very good at vfl level but not good enough at afl level

When was he very good at vfl level?

there were at least a couple of games where he had 20+ possessions and looked quick and clean with his disposal

suffice to say, there's a jump from vfl to afl level intensity, obviously

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
