Geez, Hawthorn are having a fire sale!

It's going to be a very young list if all 3 leave.

 

[FB19]

Think we need to hold chad as both a senior player and a point of difference to our list.

 

[Foucault1989]

I'd have a dip at The Chad. We need a dynamic forward

Starting to look like Melbourne around 2010; boot all your experience out the door and be left with a young list with very little leadership....

 

[Mofra]

We'd ask the question, surely. High HF who can take midfield rotations - takes Dunkley's list spot

Not really, and definitely not on the coin he is on.

Would be very surprised if the Hawks trade him tbh

 

[5minutes_of_Dew]

Would be very surprised if Hawthorn would entertain this considering it looks very likely O'meara and Mitchell move out today.

That being said, I don't think Wingard offers much in the way of leadership for a rebuild, if the trade offer was lucrative enough I wouldn't be upset to see him go.

Problem is I don't think we'll get fair value for him.

Name a better small forward on our list. Hawthorn would obviously have to cover some of his salary. I agree it won't happen but it'd be handy.

What are his current contract terms? Length and value?

Like others have said, would fit the dogs HFF well as a Dunkley replacement. Handing over pick 21 for him instead of burning it on Lobb appeals.

I think that would be a poor move. Good player when he's on but he'll be 30 next season with a long history of soft tissue injuries and questionable work ethic/preparation. He's missed a lot of footy at Hawthorn.

 

[SSSSSS]

Not going anywhere.

Wingard would be a huge upgrade on any of our curent smalls. I'd be interested in Breust too if he's available.

Jack Martin is damaging at his best, but fades out of games way too easily. The remainder of our forwards aren't dangerous - defensive pressure forwards at most.

[Hawkspot]

Has there actually been any talk at all from anyone in the media or clubs about Chad?

Seems like a BF rumour.

Breust signed a 2 year extension about 2 months ago and has never had any interest in leaving.

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Very unlikely. Has consistently posted of his keeness to stay and frankly, Hawthorn can't afford to lose any more experience.

Wouldn't be opposed to trading him instead of one of Mitchell or O'Meara but if we are losing both, he really needs to stay (and perhaps get some mid time back after getting none in 2022).

 

[jdeezy]

Not the most popular opinion but I would've taken him back in a heartbeat. Reckon he offers more than Rioli will. But the bridge has well and truly been burnt

 

[wizzard400]

No chance that Wingard is leaving. Loves the club and the coaches all love him.

 

[PAFC_FOREVER]

Seems like a BF rumour.

This. Dumb thread.

 

[longdonkey]

Think we would be interested if he was out of contract and Donuts Hinkley had moved on.

How did he burn a bridge?

 

[King_Tredrea]

Chad back at the end of his contract to finish his career with a couple of years at Alberton would be great.
