Another mature-aged pickup, Wagner brings with him 19 games of AFL experience following previous stints with North Melbourne and Melbourne.
His third chance in the AFL comes after a strong season with Port Melbourne, where he flourished as a half-back and midfield option for the Borough, averagingย 22.3 disposals, 4.3 tackles, 2.3 clearances and 2.4 inside 50s per game.
While he'll be rivalling the likes of Brandon Walker, Jordan Clark and Heath Chapman for a spot in defence, Wagner's services could be utilised on the wing following the departures of Blake Acres and Darcy Tucker.
