If that's what you recruited him as you shouldn't have bothered recruiting him. 2015 was a long time ago.
Chad Wingard from Rounds 1-11 last year when played up forward: 69.8 ranking points per game
Chad Wingard from Rounds 12-23 when played in the middle: 102.75 ranking points per game
Chad Wingard up to Round 7 at Hawthorn playing up forward: 65 ranking points per game.
There was a time when he was a very good forward pocket. That time has passed.
SO what you are saying is we recruited a B+ midfielder?
Comparing a forward to a midfielder by ranking 'ranking points' is utterly pointless.
Wingard as a mid, is not in the top 30 mids in the competition.
Clarko has been on the record why he was recruited. It's nothing to do with not being fit enough to play through the middle.
Now, the real question is can he get back to his electric best as a high-half forward.I hope so.
edit: he was never a forward pocket but a high-half forward that worked up and back.
