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.

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.

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.

No point of difference from any other fringer for mine. Will eek out a career if he can improve his ball use with experience, but if our list remains fit in 2018 I expect he will struggle for opportunities in the senior side.

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
