Not IMO.. He will be a half forward half back winger type player. He would've been a key forward at country level football being that size but not at afl level he won't be.Saints94 wrote:Wagner won't play wing at the top level, look at his body shape.

Think it will be good for Sandy. You would think Wagner would pick a bottom side so he may pick us.

Re: The Recruit
It is insightful that Port decided to draft him given than as a club through Burgess they probably had the most inside knowledge. If Burgess gave him a tick of approval, he obviously rates him highly. Says a lot.

Yep, perhaps they filled the international quota only a day or two ago.

We thought the show was fantastic viewing, great insight into what is required. Very clever by Kochie to go for him, huge story to be followed for the next couple of years through the media.

My immediate thought with his selection of Port was they had inside information- given the fitness guy on the recruit was the Port Fitness guru.

Inside info? It was from all to see and anyway they are likely getting a guy who most likely will never play a game.
