It's just kind of funny that the Crows supposedly did the same thing to McGovern in terms of telling him at his exit meeting he needed to pull his finger out, but it's a negative "poor culture" thing for us and ruthless, tough decision for the Power.
Football is a buisness. I remember when trigg threaten court action against the afl for restraint of trade when there was a contract that one final a week must be played at the g.
To expect a Wingard level of return is wrong considering Wingard has proven he can be a consistent A grade player which Gov hasn't.
Gov hasn't produced for 2 years either! He's shown flashes, but has not been a consistent AFL footballer at all, he's all potential at the moment. Even in a "bad" year Wingard still averaged 20 touches, 3 clearances, 3 tackles and a goal a game, you know if he pulls his finger out he'll be one of the best players in the league.
This is what confuses me about it too. All this talk about his attitude being poor and a negative review meeting and yet nothing was mentioned during the season proper. What kind of incompetent assholes do they have coaching that team?
I highly expect him to have a huge year next year. The Hawks generally get the best out of players and he'll love playing on the big stage every second week.
From Carlton, hardly a ringing endorsement.
It's what they do. Dont you dare leave Port Adelaide or we will smear your character, despite us being the ones to kick you out the door.
