So, most of your supporters are happy with Wingard but losing both Burton and draft picks? I thought a lot of Hawks supporters were very unhappy with Burton being let go - or has that changed now after Wingard has played a few half decent games?
Aside from Worpel we are lacking in genuine young future stars. Rather than take some decent selections into a 'super draft', we gave them all up for a guy who is only 24 but looks to have lost the hunger that drove him to All Australian selections in previous years.
This is probably also not a popular view, but I would have rather passed on Scully and Wingard and taken Scrimshaw and used our draft picks. We got EVERYTHING out of our average list in 2018. Clarko has tried to top up on the run but all I see happening is a sustained period of being a good but not great side.
The kicker is that Port used the draft pick they got from us on Xavier Duursma who has played every game so far and looked a real talent. I'd take Burton and Duursma over Wingard right now. And in 5 years times i'd DEFINITELY take Burton and Duursma over Wingard.
