Wingard has known since 2015 that he's a dud. Wines probably knows too. Things are not ending well
How so? I don't get it. Salary? Thought that wasn't an issue?

Definitely a possibility, he may stay (albeit reluctantly after the last two days) but I think they’re in too deep at the moment.

I'm reading between the lines of what 'it will cost more to keep him' means.
But if it's about money, he can * off for that reason too.

If Chad decides to stay put then I'm a bit miffed with the club to care to be honest because they had two seasons to demote Chad if he was so off track. I can't accept the club to be completely faultless.

This Chad stuff has been the most confusing thing I can remember. So cryptic

For some reason and I suspect its because of the type of player he was, Ken as coach has always favored honest, give-their-all types over players that have genetic advantages such as height or innate skill level. The exception is Robbie who is a once in decade player, but Ken always treats Robbie as different and as possessing a quality that Ken can't coach nor understand.
Our current list is not brimming with talent, the 'they work their guts out' types are being falsely heralded amongst the playing group by the coaches that its almost become dogmatic to be a player like Chad at our club. That philosophy under Hinkley and those sorts of blue-collar players have not gotten us into finals and have failed us in previous years. No more has this failure been realised as seeing Carlton and Freo push us on their day, our stubborness has broken down the playing group to the point where we have disallowed any variety or flexibility in how we play.
Despite this rigid team ethos I still think players of Chad's ilk have their place in helping a team win a flag, which is why trading him would be a monumental mistake. Dusty at Richmond and Akermanis at Brisbane were rough-around-edge types who helped get the job done when it mattered. We can't continue to field a side of mostly scrubber types who wouldn't know how to produce the unexpected flair or goal that can help break a deadlock contest.
The only slight on Chad this year was the game against the Hawks in Tassie where he didn't show up to play. But to his credit he responded after a grilling in the media and in front of the press. Since then he hasn't put a foot wrong in terms of his on-field contribution, which demonstrates that he can respond to criticism and be prepared to compete.

The “but we need a midfielder”
Or “we will get him for free next year” despite him having other options than hawks and being rfa
And
“Burton is worth more than Wingard”
Lol. Showing themselves to be insular Vicbots who don’t know their ass from their feet.

you know it!
Do they have both both firsts and burton on the table in some way or are some picks off limits? Or just trying to trade 15 and 34 up? To a higher pick? Cause I don’t see that being successful at all.
