[Tonga Bob]

From one Port to another. Welcome Corey!

Here are some other words that rhyme with Corey…

I get that he is not the sexiest pick but he does everything you want in terms of the modern wing position and is a mature body, rather than a kid. Kicking has improved a lot, does the hard yards and will know what he needs to do at an AFL level. With Acres leaving can totally see why we would grab him with Pick 57.

 

[Ge3ks]

Corey Wagner, welcome to the best club in the West.

 

[gaskin]

25 years old. Definitely drafted to come in straight away otherwise it is kind of a waste of time.

 

[Kepfan]

Got some guns on him.
welcome ya Wagner!

 

[Grape Bear]

25!

Seems best as a small forward at AFL level which would be good for us if he can make it or as others have said, a short speedy wing in the Langdon mould. Will be good solid depth and competition for spots at worst.

 

[freo1997]

There’s a good video on his Mrs Stories on Insta. Just have to do a little investigating.

 

[Tonga Bob]

TIL that he played for Melbourne. Here’s proof:

Michaela seems pretty excited to move to WA.

JLo’s meeting & greeting.

This is the guy that a number of VFL coaches have described as the best player outside of the afl system. He can play as a lockdown or attacking defender or on a wing. His GPS running data compares to the best in the afl system

 

[Joao]

Too old, not shiny enough. He'll play games, especially if we get injuries.

If not, will dominate at Peel.

Just happy we've found the only guy in the league who knows how to grow a proper moustache. Everything else is a bonus.

 

[Taylor]

We traded Acres for a pick around what we took Wagner for at a third of the salary cap price. He doesn't need to be a superstar for us for that to be a list win

 

[Stinky Lomax]

Watching those highlights & his kick outs from points, he’d better reign that in & learn to kick long to a contest.

 

[Pusswah]

Goodness gracious me I thought guns were illegal in Australia.

Boosh.

He's been compared to Jack Sinclair in playing style by his coach who says if there’s a team there that is looking for someone who can defend really well and then really help them on offence, he’d be unbelievable. For what it's worth there's more than a few other VFL coaches who've said the same thing. That is they see hm as a player with the potential to be a very good afl player sill. The write ups of some of his games are staggeringly good in 2022 with huge improvements in his skills noted. He' was considered one of the best kicks in the vfl last season and he can also lockdown a talented player. The scouting reports on Luke Ryan was that he was the best kick in the VFL the year we drafted him. I think I'm the head of his fan club by a fair bit but someone had to be I guess. I think he'll be a gun and agree that if they think he's depth only they should have not drafted him in the first place.

Freo consider discarded Roo, Demon for rookie spot in 2023

Fremantle are reportedly considering giving former North Melbourne and Melbourne speedster Corey Wagner a third crack at the AFL as a rookie in 2023.

I think he'll be better than Acres was last season. Time will tell.

For what it's worth his GPS data would have had him in the top 5 for the afl in terms of average distance covered per match if he had been in the afl system was said by his coach in an interview.

 

[IAMPURPLEPOWER]

Not sure about the muted and doubtful response in the match day thread. Looks aggressive with his run, not just the usual safe 15m run while open in space and then a long kick once an opponent gets close. He looks like he'll take players on, and thats what we need from our outside runners. Kicks a few goals too. Didn't get to see a great deal of his kicking, but it looked to be good.

Non comparison to Acres. Instant upgrade.

Really has set up shop in the squat rack, hasn't he. xD

Better look for Cox or Pearce in the 60m range and drop it on their head... Unpredictable
