Averaging a career low 11.6 touches this season.
You sure about that?and last year the new coach is shopping him around at the trade table.
Sadly, he hasn't turned out the way we would have hoped.I've posted a fair bit on Wingard last few weeks but will go again!
There is a good reason Clarkson was desperate to get him (and he was - Wingard was his preference from the get go) - his talent is elite. He is in the Rioli / Burgoyne category talent-wise. Clarkson gets magical things out of players with his level of talent. His footy before the age of 22 was as good as anyone's. He was a top 20 player in the competition. He has dropped off a bit the last couple years but his second half of 2018 in the midfield was actually very good.
He is a true matchwinner. Can win games up forward and pinch hit on the ball as a dynamic clearance player. He will in 2019 be at the same age Dustin Martin and Dangerfield were when they went next level and won Brownlows. I reckon he will explode in 2019 as one of the best players in the comp.
We have paid a big price. Burton will play 200 games and will be a very good player. But Wingard is elite.
This is Burgoyne MK2. Massive trade.
Sadly, he hasn't turned out the way we would have hoped.
Exactly. By memory there was talk on here that GWS inquired about him but it was quickly turned down (end of story right there). Other teams know that we are in rebuild mode and I assume many of our vets would've had a call made to their managers. The club would've made this known to all players in their exit meetings that no one is untouchable but at the end of the day as much as a player might want to leave or the club wants to trade them a contract is a two way street and can be held to accord on either end. I wouldn't call this shopping your players but rather just keeping all options open.You sure about that?
We anchored him to the forward pocket for his first month.Averaging a career low 11.6 touches this season.
So that's why his hammy is always sore. the old ball and chainWe anchored him to the forward pocket for his first month.
You sure about that?
Not what Mitchell saidWasn’t Mitchell calling other clubs about that sort of thing during trade period?
Chad's always been the icing.Sadly, he hasn't turned out the way we would have hoped.
True, I just expected more. I expected way more from Jaeger as well.Chad's always been the icing.
We need the cake sorted.
Hes been a good player for us. Theres bigger areas of concern.
He came 3rd in the PCM last year and has had an interrupted 2022.Sadly, he hasn't turned out the way we would have hoped.

He'll be fine if he gets some continuity.

Not really. He was in no such form at the time at Port.3rd in a PCM in a putrid team doesn't mean a great deal, but yes he was a lot better last year than this.
I think we thought we were going to to get an All Australian standard, top 50 player in the comp matchwinner when we made the trade though.

Yep he tried to get us over the line today. Was a leader.Very impressive game vs Magpies. Nearly lifted the team over the line. Not sure he had a lot of the ball but went hard on a cold wet day. Great stuff.
Love it when he goes hard and doesn't play for frees. Tough hard form gets umpires respect.
