Anyone else interested in Taranto? He basically fits everything that points to a breakout season. He'd be locked if he was a forward. Tough to justify as a mid when its not that much more for Merrett, Dusty and Matt Crouch

Just under 400k for a kid that's only played 9 games tho.
Edit: actually 11 games, but in his 2 finals he only scored 37 and 54.
Shhhhh
Not as a mid only. Hard to see him go 110+ with Kelly, Coniglio, Ward, Whitfield, Greene, Williams and whoever plays no. 1 ruck getting bulk points. As you say if a fwd then yeah. As you also said Dusty, Merrett and Crouch around the same price.
I'm hoping everyone goes for Worpel and ignores Billings for a little bit more

MID only kills it for me. At 480k, I'd be tempted to take a punt up front but for less you have Libba/BCrouch and for a tad more you get the ZMerrett/MCrouch types.

Locked in my forward line, since Titch’s break.
Will consider Worpel if he has an exceptional preseason performance but doubt I’ll have the stones to start with him.
Agree it's a lot of cash to spend on someone who is unproven. Things just seem to be lining up well for him. Don't think I have the balls to pick him, but if he does turn out to be another Oliver you heard it here first.

And if he turns out to be another Newnes??

For every Clayton Oliver there's a dozen LDUs.
For every Barrass play there's a dozen slo-mo replays
You guys are funny......
Newness and LDU didn't have their own t-shirt.

Nah “Worpedo” is sadder
Lenny did that 1000 times
James only has 999 to go then.
I did love me some Lenny. If Worps ends up anywhere near Lenny's career then I will be a happy man.
In all seriousness though, our best player has just gone down for the year, us Hawks are trying to look at things from the half full point of view.
Fair enough brother.James only has 999 to go then.

Do you think Chad will play more mid then fwd?
Hawks pick out players they see are not being utilised as well as they could be in their current team, and set them a specific role.
I think they see Wingard as the cream, the finisher, the bit of class that was lacking when the whips were cracking during finals.
I got the feeling last year that Clarko was building a new gameplan based on the chaos ball played by other teams. A tempo version of it based on location on the field and then locking the ball into the fwd line. A player like Wingard becomes very dangerous then, with our other pressure fwds.
While I do think he will rotate through the middle, I don't think he was recruited to play midfield. I see the Hawks lean other ways to replace Tmitch.
