Footscray had signed the half-forward flanker in 1960 but let him return to Shepparton when he failed to impress.

Returning to the league with the Demons he played as a half-forward flanker and had the ability to create scoring opportunities out of nowhere. Skilful and elusive, he was a glorious kick, and after five games in 1962 he became a regular senior player with 18 matches.

1964 saw Vagg kick 22 goals in 20 matches en route to a Grand Final triumph. After kicking three goals in the Semi Final victory over the Magpies, Vagg was held goalless in the big match.

Despite applying for a clearance during 1967, and some suggestion that he was on his way to Carlton, Vagg remained with the club until midway through 1969 when he retired from VFL football. The next year he joined Prahran in the VFA before later coaching Watsonia.
