In the words of backline coach Troy Chaplin, former rookie Josh Wagner has been the Demons' "most consistent" defender over the first five matches of the season. Wagner's ability to play on both tall and small players makes him a versatile option for coach Simon Goodwin. Wagner has the speed and agility to match it with the goalsneaks while, at 189cm, he can also match it with some of the competition's heavyweights and hold his own in marking contests. With the Demons committed to playing a high and aggressive defensive press, Melbourne's coaching staff are fans of having a player like Wagner who can read the ball and position himself accordingly. As Chaplin puts it, Wagner is a player who does not get the plaudits he sometimes deserves: "A lot of people probably don’t realise what he does, because it doesn't always come down to stats. The way we want to play and the system – he hasn't let us down at all." – Ben Guthrie

**** you, Troy

I said it yesterday and final changes hasn't changed my mind think we are 1 key back short, So Lever or Hibberd are playing as our number 2 Key Def. And if Daniher gets on top of Oscar we have no back up plan.

I guess Tom is the backup plan

Weid and Hogan forward, TOMacs down back?
 
Gonna be interesting to see how TMac performs while he's off legs. Maybe he'll flail around on the etihad surface like Lieutenant Dan until he earns himself a pity free
He might be the first levitating forward in the AFL. We’re breaking new ground.

I just can't see Tom playing down back all his training been up Fwd he and the club have said he will play Forward. So can't see his 1st game he plays he will play down back.
Definitely, but that's why he's insurance. At this stage, as we have always done, we will back Oscar as hard as we can.

I would say the same thing if I trusted selection and the coaching. The other option I can see happening is Weid and TMac forward, Hogan wing/midfield...

I understand the angst over not playing Brayshaw. Pedo not so much.

We have plenty of players who can do what Brayshaw does - he's one of many possible midfield rotations. Picking someone who provides a target up front and can give Gawn a chop out in the ruck is rarer.

I can understand him not getting picked, but Tim Smith - who appears to be a medium-sized bucket of nothing special - being ahead of him in the pecking order is perplexing.
 
Really like these changes. Can't wait to see TMac link up with Hoges

Looking at the team, I reckon T Mac is more likely to play back than forward. Weedy Man and Hogan playing forward and Lever and the two Macs down back.

Maybe he knew neither would play and just wanted to troll this board.
