Chad Wingard

[Red But Mostly Blue 3,797]

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.

A hard no from me.

Over-rated (or getting rated on his prior Port form rather than his Hawthorn form).

[PaulRB 5,969]

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.

Flakemaster General. And who calls their kid ‘Chad’?

He’s a bit like Rick Astley. Had a couple of big years but his best was a long time ago.

 

[chook fowler 18,299]

An emphatic no.

[rjay 23,925]

I think he's scared of Jack Viney...

[Cheap Seats 3,303]

Ive bwen a member 20 something years.

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

[DubDee 20,751]

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.

Only Picket  Fence would Approve of this deal!!!

He’s on record as stating he dislikes football and only does it for the pay cheque.

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.
