Really need to start playing him through the middle a lot more. With smaller stints up forward
It is quite bizarre, isn't it???Get. Him. Out. Of. The. Forward. Line.
Would love to ignore your reasoning on thisI don't think Wingard wants to play midfield, to be honest. I think he is lazy and knows it'll mean an increase in his running numbers. I think, much the same way Ceglar did last year negotiating #1 ruck and a three year deal, we have succumbed to player power.
Why?Really need to start playing him through the middle a lot more. With smaller stints up forward
Can only assume that he's a known quantity & with our season a write-off, we're trying the rest of the combinations out in the middle.I don't understand why he's not playing on ball, even with the assumption that he's not fit for it, he can still be rested up forward. Like not even trying him there.
But that makes no sense - why are we playing Mitchell, worpel, shiels and JOM (when fit) in the middle then?Can only assume that he's a known quantity & with our season a write-off, we're trying the rest of the combinations out in the middle.
It makes complete sense. They're core midfielders. They need to gel together as the core of our midfield group that we plan to add to.But that makes no sense - why are we playing Mitchell, worpel, shiels and JOM (when fit) in the middle then?
Wingard is far from a known quantity as a midfielder (both career and at hawthorn) and has never really played with Mitchell.
The better view is either, the club doesn’t rate him as a midfielder or he’s not doing the work or things required to play mid. Both are concerning.
I’ll make this simple for you....he’s not going into the Centre bounces these last few games, because we don’t want him to.So despite us playing every other player where required and playing eg Breust in midfield in bursts, a skinny will Day every week, flogging BB every week, Mitchell every week in guts returning from a major injury etc etc etc you genuinely think we have a special chad rule that won’t even risk him playing in the middle (even in a burst) despite him apparently being fully fit because he’s some sort of special high risk case? Seriously you think that’s the best explanation?
I reckon the over the top cynicism/pessimism about one of our best players is why people aren't "chill"Wingard the Maserati.. My god you guys need to chill

The dude is down on his form in a dysfunctional team- as are the majority of our players.
Suggesting that he doesn't want midfield minutes because it'd increase his K's is beyond bemusing. He wanted more midfield time- and has said so quite a few times.
From all accounts Wingard is the kind of dude who would give his all to the club he's playing at, if the coaches told him he was getting more time in the midfield I'm sure he'd lap it up (as his form has shown when he gets thrown in there).
I agree there's no point playing him in the for the rest of the season, but perhaps not be so condescending about it...I’ll make this simple for you....he’s not going into the Centre bounces these last few games, because we don’t want him to.
Says the guy who “despises” Wingard. Your words.Wingard the Maserati.. My god you guys need to chill
What a load of s**t.Time to sit him for the rest of the season, I'm not sure as to why but sadly Chad clearly isn't interested. It might be because he walked out on a team that's a contender for a cellar dweller who knows, but he doesn't look interested out there.
Yeah no s**t - didn’t think that was up for debate?I’ll make this simple for you....he’s not going into the Centre bounces these last few games, because we don’t want him to.
People are judging him on reputation and not his attitude at the club, it’s crap. Never have I questioned his effort or work rate at the Hawks.Jeez some of the comments about chad Sooking it up are pretty disappointing. Clearly not the case as he would be playing in the 2s.
