Right now, I'm just sympathising with him and would give him Christmas leave early.

Absolutely agree with you.
I'm taking the 'breaking' twitter news with a grain of salt.
Realistically though what were freo going to offer up for him? A couple of measley draft picks which gws already had..? If freo had come to the table with a suitable trade gws wouldve made the deal happen.
It had to be one of their top 10 players and a late first/early second rd pick. He had 2 years remaining on hos contract. In all of this his manager is really the one to blame. He shouldve been in his ear saying 'hold out we could get some big $$$offers if you wait.'.

Out of curiousity what did cfc allegedly put infront of gws?
Yeah I realise that, but having played in a GF so early on must've helped.
I wouldn't be surprised if he does stay this time around, I think the next contract will be the loyalty test.

Now that Whinegard has signed on, his ego will be that inflated he may spontaneously combust.
Their arrogance is nauseating. Their supporters are carrying on now like they are the equivalent of Hawthorn.
Why is it they have to keep telling people about 1870? Yeah we get it and I don’t care.
What is most amusing is how they are annoyed that they need Eddie’s permission to wear the prison bars. The fact is Port stole the Magpie mascot and colours from Collingwood.
Collingwood were formed in 1892. In 1902, Port Adelaide took the field in black and white guernseys for the first time after it was having trouble finding dyes that would last for its blue and magenta guernseys.
Port’s original guernsey:
Maybe the filth should wear this jumper in 'heritage round.'

Mate, that photo is in color, there's no way that was Port's original guernsey.
The original one would have been painted on a rock in 1834 BC

It was funny on 5AA when Rowey compared Menzel to Wingard in his style of play and the Port supporters phoned in furious at the comparison. They do have some similarities, but as usual sensitive Port supporters interpreted it as Rowey implying Menzel was the superior player.
...He's signed?
Well knock me down with a feather. I'm shocked.
Didn't see that coming.
Collingwood wear the old South Australian Colony side jumper from 1880s onward till we adopted the now current state colours. They originally wanted blue white and red but another Vic side "the Britannias" were in VFA with those colours. They saw our jumper when we played an inter colony match and used it for the new club.Now that Whinegard has signed on, his ego will be that inflated he may spontaneously combust.

There is an SA Colony jumper in the National Sporting Museum at the G.

Consensus on here was that Wingard was leaving Port, and now he stays. So back to bashing him.

Wingard and Wines were always going to sign. Was quite a good marketing play with their 4 days of Xmas leading into the signings of these 2 key players...He's signed?

...I don't think anyone expected him to leave.
