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.

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.

I think we can kill this thread. I’m still laughing at it.

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.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
