Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn, Chad Wingard. 200 games! Signed to the end of 2024

[Pessimistic]

Shiels is still only 28 - best 6th man in the AFL

Apologies to liam....we all like new toys

 

[threesixpio]

Wanna marry Wingerz

 

[Off The Couch]

Don’t recall any stories about him during the Kokoda walk. Thought that I read that he had fully embraced it

Yeah I seem to remember positive stuff too Offie.

 

[Pessimistic]

Yeah maybe it was bigfooty scuttlebutt

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

Wish this year had another 10 rounds. He would probably have 20 votes in that time. He's primed

 

[detox]

Gotta say he looks happy with us. Constant footage of him bantering and joking around with the lads. Get the feeling his team mates like him and I didn't get that vibe at Port.

He even felt comfortable enough to give Smith the old John hopaoate in the huddle

I had a laugh when he did that. Wasn’t it to the player on his opposite side as well?

 

[La Vache]

His kick to Nash was unreal. 50 metres across his body in between two Suns defenders.

 

[Dr.J]

Gee we do angst well

The debate about who wins a trade, or who is a better player, is generally subjective with little or no definitive outcome.
That however should never stop us from indulging in the sport.
Even the "I was right I win" attitude can work when applied to a minimal sample size (ie one action, one quarter, one game)

As each week goes by I've seen things from Wingard that I never noticed (when he was playing for Port)
I'll be the first to admit that he's a lot better player than I ever thought.
(Which probably reflects my Hawthorn bias)
The anger and angst has it's place but I reckon finding out just where his ceiling lies is going to be a hell of a lot more fun

 

[CHUBBSS]

The s.a footy environment is toxic, a lot of players do well once they get out.

It is no suprise that a freakishly talented footballer is doing well is a good environment with team mates he gets a long with.

 

[beta_condition]

His kick to Nash was unreal. 50 metres across his body in between two Suns defenders.

He did 3 of those passes during the game, christ they were magical.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Is anyone still unsure about where he'll play his best football for us?

 

[Noel Gallagher]

Dear Chad, I judged you on your first 6-8 games with us and thought we may have got the trade wrong. I went early and said we stuffed this one up. I was wrong, so very wrong and couldn’t be happier.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

His last 6 weeks have been elite, hopefully 2020 is a full season of Chad in top form.

 

[Tomohawks]

Our midfield will be awesome next year whether Cogs arrives or not with Wingard joining Mitch. He just seems to bring something we've been missing and that is run, carry and the desire to take on the opposition.

If you want some good reading, check the Port general chat thread. I like seeing them talk fondly of Chad and how good he is going

No offence Noel but you often go a bit early. Patience is a virtue.

None taken

He has found his place in the team and flying. Will be our new break glass player, but I’m not quite prepared to lose our current break glass go to player.

The vast majority of us don't blame Chad for leaving, we blame the absolute muppets running the show at the moment for pressuring him out. Hopefully a fair few of them will be sacked by this time tomorrow.

Oh that was the other type of sentiment noticed. Ken is not a well liked man.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Seems to be better settled now. For a phenomenal talent, some of his kicking was average against the Weagles.
