42 metres gained per disposal and didn't score, even though apparently he was parked at full forward? Something doesn't add up.

Are those having a go at Wingard actually watch the game?
He was stuck in the forward line the entire second half, and Hawthorn got like 10 i50s that whole time. Clarko is killing my fantasy team bc of his refusal to play Wingard in the middle (where incidentally, he was actually OK in the first half). I don't understand the justification for not playing him in the midlle, esp with Essendon winning every clearance in the last quarter

Couldn’t have happened at a better club
This is getting silly now. How can you defend that stat line. This is bordering on jake neade kinda game.
Umpires really need to clue on that Richmond are prepared to give away free kicks if it forces the umpire to make the decision. They regularly tackle without the ball and push into marking contests when out of position.
He doesn't know how to coach.
He gained 30m without a disposal when he forgot to have a bounce.

arch got pushed at the end of that quarter then. No call. They keep doing it until called
I'll admit he has been poor through the year, and I'm not upset we got rid of him.
But he was stuck in a forward line which didn't receive the ball (I don't know how to find the exact stat, but they had 34 for the entire game, and at least 20+ in the first half). I didnt think he was lazy this game,
Or he does know how to coach, but isn't coaching to win? I dunno, it is a conundrum that I haven't figured out. But I don't see how someone could have watched that game and thought it was Wingard's fault he didn't touch the ball considering how little the Hawks got it up forward

He's been finished as a forward since about 2016.
Without seeing the game its difficult for me to accurately reply but youre telling me Chad was stuck in the forward line unable to impact the score board when Hawthorn had 7 goals 10 to half time?

I don't know why people think being played in the forward line means that he can't venture out the 50. If the ball isn't coming in, there's nothing stopping him from going and getting it. Its called workrate ffs.
I definitely felt during the first half he was running thru the middle more. He set up a few goals in the first half if Im not mistaken (4 score involvements, whatever that means). But after half-time, he did not appear in the middle once from memory.
And I also want to clarify- he didn't have a good game or anything. But if you watch the second half, see how rarely Hawthorn moved it forward- it was a bizarre game, and keeping Wingard out of the middle and into a forward line with no entry (possibly due to Pattons injury altho I doubt it) did not really give him much of a possiblity for getting good stats
Dusty slots a bog standard checkside and the commentators are still going on as if he's defied the laws of physics

Exactly right. That being said I saw him fly for one in the Last, but he rarely leaves the ground.

At some stage the “he isn’t being played in the midfield but” group have to admit that at the second club this has happened now....
..it’s probably because of wingard. he’s likely not fit enough / working hard enough to get played there.

Second half he played on ball for a few spurts. Spent a lot of tome as the deepest forward. Had two passages play where he ran and carried which probably contributed to metres gained but to be honest 300+ seems overs
Its his fault. You can't just be an elite midfielder, like many here have said. You need to put in the effort at training, and on the field. We got rid of him because he doesn't do the work.

His first half was average at best. Zero influence. Looked out of synch with team mates etc.

Correct - but he didn’t. He generally sat and waited. Admittedly once or twice he had a little space and got burnt by team mates but he looked disinterested apart from a five minute spurt in the second half.
