The Moving/Rolling Trading & Delisting Thread 2018

[1eyedog]

Wingard is a Stringer on the footy field. Flashes of absolute brilliance that can turn a match but comes across as laconic and and at times indifferent. He will frustrate us and amaze I hope he's what we need because we only get one shot.

After the disappointment of the last few years he would be a positive injection for the club. I'm not sure he's the right man though.

From round 12 this year he played mostly midfield and his numbers were outstanding.

The outside/polished midfielder we need who can provide spark up forward late in the game when we need some magic. Bont/Wingard swapping mid/forward would mean opposition teams need to have a purely defensive mid at the stoppages at all times, it could be a magic pairing. I'm a fan - on natural talent and class I'm not sure there are many players in the competition who are at Wingard's level.

Why do you think he is keen to move? Is it more midfield opportunities or could money be the motivator? I would imagine Port are tight for their salary cap.

I know he is a brilliant footballer but perhaps I'm a bit gun shy with players who thrill and delight given our drop off over the last 2 years. I've always been one who prefers the players who come to the club and roll up their sleeves week after week but I do acknowledge you need a balance of the hard worker and the more brilliant types.

Performs far far far more often than Stringer

Yep, and his quiet games he's still noticed on the field. And Wingard can actually play midfield, not two minutes and blow up. Wingard's effort can not be questioned like Stringer's nearly whole career.

If Shiel is getting $1.3, Hannerbery and Parker elsewhere. Kelly not happening. Then there's a choice between Gaff & Wingard. Either player makes us a much better team in 2019 and beyond.

What's the bet Gaff ends up at the Swans.

That’s exactly what I’ve been thinking.

[comrade]

Add Wingard & pick up Stengle for cheap and we've added depth and talent in areas we sorely need it.

Big yes to the Chad, for me.

Odds on now. Which leaves the biggest name midfield player available to us as Wingard. I think our Round 1, 2019 team is much stronger with Wingard in it. So I'm for it.

Then there's can we try to get in on May, using Adams and picks, and talk of a cheap Richmond forward to boost the forwardline. I like that Power is prepared to get busy and take informed risks. A first year list manager might start a bit conservative, but Power looks like he's been busy. I like it.

It's painfully obvious to all where our deficiencies lie so regardless of the length of time Sam has had his feet under the desk his job is to improve the list so he needs to hit the ground running.

From the players being mentioned Wingard adds some class going forward, Stengle offers goal sense & defensive pressure.. not sure what Lloyd adds so hopefully there is little truth to the rumuors around our interest in him.

It seems to me that the Port Adelaide ship might be a bit shaky.

Hinkley under pressure as coach and a president who interferes could create instability in the playing group.

Big players last year and a result that was disappointing doesn't help their cause.

Maybe he just wants out of Adelaide and to move to Melbourne?

I don't really understand the Lloyd rumour, especially after re-signing Dicko. Stengle, as you say, makes a lot more sense.

[The Doctor]

Isn't Stengle on the rookie list?

Lloyd might be viewed as a potential replacement for Honeychurch if he doesn't get a contract. He's a goalkicker and we need them don't we?

[Sedat]

Talent wise I agree he is right up there but I genuinely don't know why his form decline over the last two years appears to be happening?
The fact that it sort of mirrors our decline over the same time frame just rings the bell for me. I'd also like to know why he does want out of Port and why he might want to come to us because if it's just about a better contract then we need to look deeper at that.

As I mentioned, I have no issue with trading an early pick for a ready made player providing they have the right work ethic because we don't need another talented laconic player who hasn't got the hunger to chase a flag.

Adelaide is an incredibly intense fishbowl - perhaps he feels the needs to get out of that stifling environment to get the most out of his career moving forward? Or maybe the Port game plan is too defensive, slow moving and structured under Hinkley? Don't think it would be solely about money because he is already well remunerated at Port.

I don't see a lazy and laconic footballer when I see Wingard running around. Playing half forward at Port can be difficult when ball movement is so slow into F50 - Gray sometimes goes missing in games as well.
