News Chad Wingard traded to Hawthorn for ... dammit who is peeling onions?

[Holden Hillbilly]

Davies in the US to draft an American. 220cm & 120kg. I want to believe.

Is it too late to get Chad on a plane to the remote SE Asian hiking trail Lobbe went to a few years back!?

Still cant believe this is happening

I think i might throw up tomorrow when a photos posted of him in a Hawthorn guernsey

This is so ****ing stupid I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

It's ****ed. You go to the draft hoping to land a player with the talent of Chad. **** a 'fair' trade, it needs to be in our favour or not at all and I still prefer not at all.

This whole scenario really pisses me off and then we have Muppets like Cripps trash talking other clubs whose picks we want. That not only makes it harder for us but easier for the tingles. ****ing stupid.

My feeling is we are going to do the Wingard trade for unders, so that we can overpay and get higher in the draft for Rankine, because he will be good for marketing and keeping the fans happy next year.

I'm not laughing, i'll give you tip.

In the next 24 hours I am a fair chance of losing total interest in the AFL. Port really the only thing that has held my interest for a number of years, and they could be about to jump the shark completely. Sad times.

It’s all an elaborate plan hatched by the Wingard family to keep Chad at Port. Chad’s dad was on the same flight.

Just watching an episode of Seinfeld where Jerry in the opening monologue says all sports fans are doing now is supporting a piece of clothing. Try to think of it like that.

ill be glad when he's gonna but the problem is we still have Ken, tomorrow would be the best if we could trade Ken & Chad as a package

Work that all out

 

[Loyal2Port]

I am not mad just disappointed.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

The kid we select and Burton better live up to the hype.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

Is it too late for someone to write Chad a letter with a 20 cent piece asking him to stay?

 

[Malibu#27]

Oh god,

Anthony Hudson on Foxtel suggestion we should package 15 and 6 to get 5.

 

[MrMeaner]

I find it hard to believe the only course the club could find for the top three people in the football operations side of the club coincides with the end of trade week. You couldn’t make this farce up.

 

[pastmyprimus]

It'll be a sad day tomorrow. Hard to find any positives. At a stretch, Burton will be in his prime at the time Chad retires, and Ken will be long gone.

**** no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all seriousness we might as well wipe the slate clean and rebuild.. we'll be bottom 4 for a couple years and gain some quality in the draft. Crowds of 20-25k is what we'll be expecting though so i hope the club has thought this through.

I was just about to post this. It basically says we get burton, pick 15 and “possibly something else” for wingard, and we move our pick 6 to pick Brisbanes pick 5 for Hombsch via a convoluted set of trades.so we end up with 5, 10, 15, burton and possibly something else.

So we are giving up Wingard and Pick 6 for 5 and 15.... **** right off. There is no reason to give up 6 and Wingard to get in the top 5, Wingard should return a top 5 pick regardless of Burton being involved.

Club is so weak. So we are basically giving up Wingard, Polec, Pittard, 2 second round picks and 2 third round picks for pick 5 and Burton

We have the worst list management in the comp. That is unbelievable.

Talk about selling the farm...faaark

 

[Us against the rest]

Is it true that Burton wants a 5 year contract ? If so how could Port agree to this when Polec was denied more than 3 years. Both players have injury issues but with Polec we knew exactly how to deal with it, Burton is another story, medical or not.
