Toast Wingard's Mark

[charcolechaddy]

Loved the way later on two players gave away a free kick on him just so they wouldn't be the next Wingard highlight!

About 42000 people saw Wingards mark.

And about 10 saw the goal haha

 

[Trewth]

I almost needed resuscitation. Saw it all happen in slow mo almost, we were about 20m away. Equals the best marks I've ever seen live, which are Schulzies at the 'G last year and Liam Jurrah at FP.

If Schulz went any higher he would have got a 2 year ban from ASADA.

It will become like the first BDO in Adelaide 5k there 25k claim to have been there.

Wingards mark 42k there 22mil will claim to have been there.

The silence, just before you know something outrageous is going to happen, is heart stopping - It happened for that split second last night when he climbed so high. Then the noise and hysteria after mission was accomplished - a delightful moment!

 

[Power Raid]

just another reason to watch our great club play

Incredible grab.

So which is better? The Freo one, or this one?

This one, he scored from the result. Just.

 

[TeeKray]

You'd pay to watch Port Adelaide play just to see Wingard. He's a freak. Timed it perfectly, held the grab, lands on his back, gives Dempster the 'did you see that?!'. Then proceeds to bounce the ball over 200cm Westhoff's head for a goal. He can do no wrong.

I actually think he wasnt trying to kick a goal ... he looked up, saw the Hoff coming into the square & chipped over the top for a pass to him, which he let through

 

[BIG MATTY WHITE]

I like the freo one better

But take nothing away from this...too good....too good mr wingard

it was a pass.

 

[wharfietilidie]

i crave the ball to be anywhere in his area, he is so dangerous and has some amazing skills

schulzys mark was unbelievable, the angle i was on i couldnt see him coming then from out of nowhere he rose up glided across the pack.
jurrahs will remain the best mark ive seen live though, he was up so high he gave himself nosebleeds for a change

my brother took this photo.....

stewart took a handy grab

renouf got some height

luke reynolds took a handy grab

my brother took this of cachia

and a cricket catch. okeefe

I thought his Freo mark was better when you account for "in the moment" type situations.

This mark has more aesthetic appeal.

Immediate appeal

Me above the "CO" doing my best sideshow clown impersonation.

Get a hair cut!

No

 

[edgie]

And that's on his way *down* Didn't like the way Dumpster grabs Chad's legs - could have ended up like Danny Morton

If Wingard was on my back I'd give him a reach around too

The mark has also made international media

Firstly the USA:

Secondly Europe!

Great to see this sort of exposure!

I love the photo of Wingard with Wings - I think that's his new nickname.
