Something stinks.

The Hawks gave up a hell of a lot for this guy and they're just gonna let him go? I read that this guy checked out a while back, and while there's no doubt he's talented, he's inconsistent, and I don't think we need another one of those.

Full house already, thx.

 

I thought this was a lol thread?!
 

Wingard?! He’s gone from choccies to boiled lollies very quickly, a trade the “incredible, invincible, amazing” Graham Wright and Clarko would desperately want to have back.
Seemed crazy at the time  and worse now (like [censored] terrible now). 

Why the hell would anyone want this player now, it’s been a disaster and at 27 he ain’t getting any better (besides looking for Deegirl).

Nothing stinks, besides the thread, people bag Spargs and Kossi. I’d rather have ANB than Mr Wingard.

Could be worth a look, for a discounted price.

Talent doesn't just dry up... application and appetite maybe, but like Harley, talent is talent, and you've got to take some risks sometimes to acquire it.

If we trade anything for this guy I'll hand it in.


On of the trades that started the Hawks downfall. Was a gun 6 years ago but done now

My take on Wingard is he is narcissistic self-centred, year ago in a interview he said he does not know any players out side his own team, he does not do his homework  on other players that he plays on, the opposition players do their homework on him, and since he does not do his, he can't work out how to beat his opponents.

Highly skilled and talented.
 

Perfect player to take us to the Premiership.

 

Definitely grab him and fulfill our destiny.  Future 1st rounder is good buying

For all the mockery of this trade idea, and I for one don't think he fits our group in the slightest with his purported character traits: I still do find it interesting that I read somewhere he's the number 1 ranked small forward in the comp. Unless I'm mistaken.

Mate this thread was killed on Monday until you decided to bring it up 7 hours ago with your stupid gif.

If you want to kill threads then simply don't randomly reply 2 days later.

Jesus he is the exact type of player we desperately need. Just has that x factor and class on the outside that we're lacking.

DD36. You raised and gave it oxygen. It was pathetic. I know it’s your opinion but I have to call it out “He is the exact type of player we desperately need”.   Really? he’s soft. Lacks run , poor pressure acts.  His kicking and disposal efficiency are actually poor. Not even close to the type of player we need at all.
With Brown onboard hopefully today, we want hard running skilled mids to compliment our midfield bulls. Players with endurance who can run both ways.  Two midfield runners would top off our team imv. That’s the priority.

Agreed with you, hard-running skilled mids are the priority.

Then (assuming we have B.Brown locked in) I see our next priorities being someone capable of shutting-down speedy small forwards and a potent small forward ourselves.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
