Weird to trade Acres at 26 to draft this guy. Guess it's good to save on salary cap. Can see him being a trainer of the pre season type (what do we call it around here.. TOTY?). Him and Worner will be good mix for the wing

Highlights real show agility, risk taking and the linebreaking ability of a Switta type - but in the backline. My only concern is if this will transfer well from VFL to AFL, where your opposition will be faster and stronger.

My brother is a North fan and can’t understand why we drafted him. Says he’s no good. Hopefully that was then and this is now 
It's not weird, Acres was not worth the price he was asking. We stood our ground. One thing is for sure, Corey won't back down in wet games!
I'll back Walls in over your brother.My brother is a North fan and can’t understand why we drafted him. Says he’s no good. Hopefully that was then and this is now
These are the things you have to do to keep stars at your club.
It hasn't for him in the past, not consistently anyway. He was available at the end of the draft for a reason but it's good to have quality depth. That's the sign of a healthy list. The club rates him higher than the blokes we delisted.

The role of wing at AFL is rubbish, so much running and almost all of it is unrewarded. It really needs to be filled with a mature player. You can look at the times the Pies players ran in the 2km time trial with just the first to fourth years, none of them broke six and a half minutes. When the 5th plus years come back they will have players who can.
Same will be the case with Freo, it takes a while to build the tank.
Offer that rubbish wing role to any player outside the AFL and they will take it with both hands to play at the top level. I believe this is exactly what has happened here.
We have a runner ready to go.

He will need to be ready to go....not many players receive a 3rd AFL chance!
We could play smaller in the backline. We looked quite aggressive moving the ball with Clark, Wilson, Walker playing together. Before Chapman returned from injury.
Walker hopefully improves but late season form was average. Wilson is getting on, I think it’s a great selection.

Says a lot about how good NOD is going to be then. He'll get to Peter Matera level based on your assessment - good times ahead!
I don't think we have recruited him as a defender, we have recruited him as a small forward. Watch to the end of the video if you haven't already, plays the Switta/Schutz role.

Not many who've been delisted twice then go on to make a go of it but Walls has so many runs on the board at this point I'm totally comfortable backing him and his team in over the people being critical of the pick. Not likely to be good is very, very different from unable to be good.

That's a big gun show, and Freo just bought two tickets.
We're looking to contend from now and just lost/pushed Acre$ so seems like a good risk over an 18yo rookie that will likely never make it.

The thing is, he was playing small forward in shit teams at the time in north and Melb.
Wouldn’t have had a lot of opportunity to showcase his talent.
Looks good as a wing/defensive cover.

A Menegola like resurrection on the cards here.
Put a line through him then. Never known an BF poster's brother to be wrong any anything, let alone footy.My brother is a North fan and can’t understand why we drafted him. Says he’s no good. Hopefully that was then and this is now
Pretty sure thats MeneNgola. Heard it on the tele.

Interesting. I hadn't considered that and maybe that is the plan. My small concern was that his form at Port came only after he got shifted back and I thought we had enough bodies of that type already. I hadn't considered forward. Will be interesting to see if that is what happens.

Wagner aims for third time lucky
New draftee Corey Wagner is determined to make the most of his third opportunity on an AFL list
There are many Brett Bewley types in footy. Consistant, hard running, extremely fit players who just don't have enough weapons in their arsenal. I am hoping Wagner does not fall into that category.
By the end of Noddy's career, Matera will be lucky to be mentioned in the same breath as him.
Nice to see a mature aged player eventually get rewarded with an opportunity.

A bloke that play wing and defend well who is at his third AFL club. If he’s as handy as Aish I will be happy.
