“He’s nearly the best player in the VFL competition when he plays with us. He had a very consistent year in the VFL and forced his way into the AFL team a few times, and then through hard work he cemented his spot later in the year as a small forward. He has played multiple positions and his finish to the year was really strong, so hopefully he builds on a few things he needs to work on and comes back and keeps his spot in the team.” - Matt Egan MFC Head of Player Development

    Certainly is a great 'feeder' within the forward line; seems to pick the ball to deliver quite consistently which is great for Trac, the Melk and TMac. He actually kicks the ball (and gets the ball) reasonably well for one with limited experience with '...our game plan...'

    Corey proved himself to be decent depth this year and I am happy to retain him on the basis. He is fine as the 22nd player on the team sheet coming in to perform a specific role. The problem is when injuries hit and suddenly he is the 15th player on the team sheet, as happened several times this year.

    Corey showed that he can play at this level and adds good depth to the team, I hope that he has a great 2020 whether at Dee's or Casey.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The Wagners at times tend to watch the game rather than participating.  This is due to lack of experience and perhaps confidence or fitness.  Hope Corey has a great season;  is worth another look.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
