Bay 13 Where Are They Now - Gather Round Edition: Chad Wingard

[Stokey]

As you might have heard via carrier pigeon or carrier great white, Gather Round is happening in South Australia this weekend. It is suppossedly a chance for the AFL community to come together to celebrate that South Australians, for a weekend at least, seem only slightly less cringey and backward than they actually are the other 51 weeks of the year. :fightpump: AFL!

In celebration of this mediocre occassion of Gather Around (a barrel), I thought it might be an apt time to celebrate great Port or Adelaide players for whatever reason fell off the AFL radar after years of seemingly infinite stardom.

Today we are going to celebrate.....Chad Wingard

A former star Port Adelaide player who after a hugely influential young career fell off the AFL radar at the end of 2018.
Up until then he had the following honours.

• 2× All-Australian team: 2013, 2015
• John Cahill Medal: 2013
• 2× Port Adelaide leading goalkicker: 2015, 2016
• Showdown Medal: R19, 2013
• Mark of the Year: 2014
• South Australia U18s captain: 2011

So what happened to Chad, or as he affectionately known as, The Chad, The Chode and the PortniteKing?

It took a bit of investigation, but apparently, according to LinkedIn, he is an 'Athlete', at the Hawthorn Football Club.



I did a bit of digging and according to Google the Hawthorn Football Club is an amateur organisation that suppossedly plays out of a suburb of the same name.


It is also unclear of the official home of this amateur club but a few pictures paint a picture of their amatuer status..

Glenferrie:


Waverley:


Dingley:


I can only guess from this last photo that this isn't actually a formal stadium but a stock photo of a stadium to make them look less amaturish. It's is Tassie for starters.


Anyway, enough about this amatuer club and let's get back to Chad.

I reached out to his supposed club and they say he hasn't worked there since a guy called 'Clarko' left.

So in short. I have no idea what has happened to Chad but I wish him well.

Until next instalment.

Really just trying to keep the Bay alive as requested in another thread. A real Bay 13 poster would understand.
But if you are the future I question why I should bother.

 

[spudmaster]

We've been saving him for finals, duh!

Only cost their most promising youf at the time in Burton and about five years worth of drafts. Bargain.

I originally joined the week after 2007 GF so we have probably been around the exact same length of time...

I admire your contribution. Superhuman effort.

Yep Chad was a great young player. Was saddened to hear when he retired from professional football at the end of 2018.

 

[Scully2GWS UMAD]

He and the Jarman Gimpey were recruited to win them flags. Now they’ve recruited old Jack Cumstan for that job….

 

[FISTO]

Has he been found yet?
