Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn, Chad Wingard. 200 games! Announces retirement (2 Sept 2024)

[OnceKicked50]

The Chad is still a way off from fitness. His body doesn't look toned at all at the moment. I think we will see his best after the bye.

Until then 2 to 3 goals a games from limited touches is a good contribution.

Wingard always said Cyril was his favourite player.

Seeing them in the same forward line would be utter chaos.

Agreed that he doesn't look at all fit.

I'm not sure we'll see him hit peak fitness this year, but I've no doubt he'll be where he needs to be next year.

He's fit enough to do some damage on Monday. Chad lives for games like this

Chad did most of the preseason and developed calf issues late.

Shouldnt be that unfit.

Since december. Yuk.

All the best to chad in his 150th. Didn’t want to lose him originally, but perhaps it was the best thing for all parties.

A fair trade was reached and both clubs could be winners. He is an absolute game breaker when he’s switched on.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I really hope we get an All Australian standard season from Chad in 2020.

Credit to hawthorn, they to me seem to deal fairly on trades. For us burton is going ok, but not sure because we traded up picks but got dursma. Wish ok for wingard but not unpleased when he and polec were traded. You have to trade something to get something

I brought this up after the 2014 grand final special, and how pro swans it was. Was told there is no pro swans bias on the show. That entire episode was just a swans supporters group gushing over their team.

Time to shine ChaddyShack

His first "big game" for us. I'm excited to see if he really does step up on the big stage. 4+ goals would help a lot.

The show has no overarching bias. Big footy just requires a team to create an account.
Cheers

It did on that episode. Don't get me wrong it is by far my favourite footy based show. But that particular episode was over the top.

Extremely disappointed/ pissed off with this guys efforts today. Showed no endeavour or want to even try. Serious concerns for whether he really wants it. Was the issue at port
Looked very much like he did at port past two years. Huge concerns!

I would be pointing the finger at Breust way before Wingard. It took Gibson, Lake and Hale a while fit into the Hawks system. I’d wait a bit before seeing where Wingard is at with his footy.

Lol nobody kicked the ball to him all day, what did you want him to do? He had a crack, found a bit of the ball, laid a few tackles and had a hand in a few goals. Could've rolled home one or two himself but didn't get the luck of the bounce.

I think you might be letting your temper get away with you here.

 

[Franko Armani]

I think he tried all day just couldn’t get near the footy. Doesn’t seem to have any explosiveness. Was happy to see him thrown into the middle late in the game. Think he needs to play there. He ain’t no Cyril Rioli that’s for sure.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Wingard hasn't played good footy up forward since 2015. Stick him in the middle full-time and you'll see how good he is. Whether he's fit enough for that yet I don't know.

 

[hk89]

While he didn't have much influence overall, thought he had a few 'almost' moments, but things just didn't quite bounce his way. Wouldn't worry too much about his intensity, has always been one of those players that looks like they are not trying because generally the game comes pretty easily to them. Sicily can be the same at times, even when he's play a good game can look like he's lacking intensity.

 

[marklar]

I thought he had a pretty good game today, lots of pressure acts mostly unrewarded. Building nicely and is still learning how the rest of the team plays.

His effort is on. It's not working for him yet. I think we should roll him thorugh the midfield to get him into teh game and to help give our younger mids a breather.
