They have the agents hour at 12pm.I thought i heard on Trade Radio that he was on their program with Sam McClure?
Can anyone confirm?
He would certainly want to be a lot better than his last 3 seasons that is for sure.For the price of Wingard, I’d be wanting him to be spending considerable minutes in the midfield.
Small forwards shouldn’t cost this much

Haha, just ask Milne...Small fwds win u premierships.

Smith on one wing and Scully on the other. Could be the most damaging wingers in the comp.
This year's Jonathan Simpkin
Wingard (if he comes to us) should spend no more minutes in the midfield than Poppy or Breust. Wingard is a brilliant small forward, a good change up mid, and a crappy defensive mid. Put Patrick Cripps next to Wingard... no thanks.For the price of Wingard, I’d be wanting him to be spending considerable minutes in the midfield.

Heard they're mic-ing up Sam Mclure's backside for a live stream.Where can we watch the last day of afl trade period?
300 games vs. 46 games and 21. Big difference.The term 'Untouchables' just isn't in Clarko's vocab. If it didn't apply to Sam Mitchell then it simply doesn't exist.
There are few untouchables and almost all are dependant on their career positions.300 games vs. 46 games and 21. Big difference.
I don’t think for one second that Burton is untouchable. But players who are young , almost a Rising Star winner and at 21 May feel that he has a long career ahead of them at the one club before things can change. I’m not against Burton being traded, earlier I stated that keeping future 1st is imperative for the club moving frwd . I was merely taking your comments about it been a ‘reasonably ‘ good position for him to take a better offer as something that you may have not thought out better.There are few untouchables and almost all are dependant on their career positions.
My Definition of Untouchables: those players who are so loved by the fans that it would wreck Hawthorn’s fan base if they were forcibly traded before their best footy was behind them and if there was not a soft landing for them.
For mine the only untouchable in the modern era were Sam Mitchell (pre 2016: he got a good deal and is now back in the fold), Hodge (pre-2016: got a good deal at Brisbane), Buddy (before he asked for massive money from the Hawks and chased a girl) and Cyril (he is, and will always be, untouchable).
Did I miss anyone?
The untouchables is mostly a myth spread by BigFooty, other fan based web sites, and the media.
I say change “the untouchables” to the “most needed” and that becomes a fair statement.
Burton is one of our “most needed” players. But he is not, in any way, an untouchable.
We have high hopes for him and I think, with an expanded role, he could burst out in 2019 and become a top 50 player.
Being Untouchable is a mob concept. Very occasionally it becomes real. Most times it is a myth.
As to Birch: he is an unknown. How long has his injury kept him out? How long will it take for him to be physically fit and then match fit? At his best he is a scary big guy who, when he gets a head of steam up, runs hard, breaking tackles, and delivers the ball with precision and more importantly accuracy.I don’t think for one second that Burton is untouchable.

Thus, I was making those posts, counter arguments if you like.
If Birch was fit , Ryan may have found himself at Box Hill for a few weeks.
He is a classy mover, but extremely soft and his chasing is awful. He had a few good moments towards the end of the season but he is expendable.
Pick 15+ Burton is still slightly overs so I hope we get something else back like a third at least.
Stats look good. Must catch him on his off days. Really impressed with his burst of speed and ability to get the pill, but seen him turn it over enough to make me think he hasn't lived up to the hype of the marquee player he signed up to be. Regardless, i have blind faith in whoever Clarko and Wright decide we need
