I went to buy a coffee and when I came back he was gone. I’m presuming he walked off and wasn’t carried in!Good to hear then.

To me he is a mature body because it takes a while for players to develop the tank to run out AFL games on the wing where almost all their running is positional and unrewarded. There's a reason that the time trials for the first to four year players are won by different guys to when the entire squad returns, usually. There are the occasional freaks.
Someone has to run the 15km a game between the arcs and a mark in space doesn't care too much about the size of the player - but they need their body to have seen enough summers to maintain it.
I think we can play Aish or another more creative and reliable under pressure player on the skinny side and O'Driscoll has the potential to be really something special, but we still need a player to fill the worst role in the side covering distance and I think that's Wagner.
I'd rather play our better players closer to the action, even if they have the physical ability to play on the far wing.
Sure, mature in that sense. But it is not just a running game. He will still need to be in contests on the ground and in the air. Attend stoppages. Help out in defence with intercepts/spoils. Can't just run around by himself all day at AFL level.
Who's that? Brady Grey?
My boy Earl Grey is back in town! He is as tough as nails but didn't have what it took to make it at AFL level unfortunately.Who's that? Brady Grey?

JMT??Previous pre seasons I posted reports under an alias and sent them by correspondence to other posters.
This season I will be posting them through here as myself instead.
I appreciate the posters who posted them for me. My original bigfooty account I don't have anymore but my style will still be exactly the same and looking forward to putting them up very shortly.

As soon as I saw Colyer, you lost me. Absolutely not.Just because Wagner is a "mature body", doesn't mean he replaces Acres physically. Wagner is small (listed as 75kg which is in Colyer territory). Big guns don't matter, he will still get monstered by the big boys at AFL level and this was one of his problems when delisted twice before.
We already have Brayshaw and Serong as our two prime mids and they aren't big. I would have no problem with another short player if they have attributes like Bolton (extreme speed/leap/x-factor) or Neale (brick shithouse and elite ball winner). But Wagner is mostly an elite distance runner, and we would become a very short side between the arcs with our persistance in playing 4 x small forwards that work up the ground.
I would group Wagner/Henry/Colyer together as smallish wing options that should only play if there is a large injury toll. It doesn't matter if Wagner is a decent player in his own right, the team balance is more important. Geelong wouldn't select Parfitt in the best 22 once the finals started.
I think Wagner would be a better fit for our side down back, where our shortest player is 185cm and a small defender would work OK. He'd probably be just trailing Wilson on the depth chart.
well...................get a move on then!!Previous pre seasons I posted reports under an alias and sent them by correspondence to other posters.

No, I just like to keep it fresh in peeps mindsI missed the reason for the mod note, were people abusing training observers again?
If teaching Ed Langdon how to kick is a kicking efficiency for 2022 of 62.2% for his 23 games in 2022, sure. For a guy who kicks it 58 percent of the time, that means he turns it over almost half the time he does so. Mark Williams may be good coach, but he can't work miracles.Better kick than Langdon used to be at his time in Freo.
The Dees (read Mark Williams) taught Langdon how to kick.
Obviously knew he was coming to Freo and the Vic bias kicked inWagner has all these elite attributes but couldn’t even make the 6 man bench in this ?

Couldn't squeeze past Duman I guess.Wagner has all these elite attributes but couldn’t even make the 6 man bench in this ?
