Re: The Chad Thread
Offer him the minimum wage and give him a Macdonald franchise, sets him up for life And our salary cap is not affected :-)

He'd be behind Boyd (at least this year) and the Bont (from what I understand) in payment terms.
If we were to imagine the exact type of player who would make us a better side, a firing Wingard is almost the prototype - can run in the middle, tear an opposition team apart as a forward in only 10 minutes, is coming into his prime and will play for another 6+ years.
Then consider the cap is ~20% larger than when we offered a monster deal to a 19 year old. I'm firmly in the yes camp.

This. As an aside, I personally love him as to see an indigenous superstar playing for us. I'm too young to remember Magic, Winmar & Koops were fizzes, our others haven't been legit superstars. And for years to see the Buddy's, Betts, Rioli's etc light up games of footy has me envious. We have the west of Victoria now, well populated with indigenous kids looking for a role model. He's a guy that makes you want to go to the footy and only take toilet stops at the main breaks because you don't want to miss a second because he can do a lot in that time. An outright indigenous superstar would be massive for a lot if reasons, so I'm in the yes camp on good coin too.
As another aside, we'd be truly the multicultural team if we can convince him to come. Wingard (indigenous), JJ (South Africa), Daniel (Adelaide), Khamis (Sudan), Jong (East Timor/Taiwanese). A true representation of the peoples of the West. We come from all parts, but we are one and equal under the Red, White & Blue.

Lynch also indigenous and could work well with Chad.

After the Richmond game, I want Lynch forward. Two lightning quick small forwards playing at the feet of hopefully Boyd & Schache. Sounds pretty nice to me.

Re: The Chad Thread
'If Chad wants to stay, he'll be here': Davies
IT'S CHAD Wingard's decision whether he wants to stay at Port Adelaide but football manager Chris Davies says "right now, there's nothing to suggest he wants to leave".
Wingard is contracted until the end of 2019 and Davies acknowledged the talented but inconsistent star could explore his options, with the Western Bulldogs among the interested Victorian clubs.
"Where contracts have got to in the AFL competition is that with a year to go, whether it's the player or the manager or the club in some instances, they look at what they can potentially get in a year's time and work back from there," Davies told NAB AFL Trade Radio on Thursday.
The Power know what Wingard wants is pivotal.
"We're not the first cab off the rank in all of this. Chad is," Davies said.
"Fundamentally, Chad's got to have an offer that would suggest that he wants to go and right now, that's not the conversation that we're having. That'll play out over the coming days and weeks I'm sure."
However, Davies said Port doesn't want the 25-year-old to leave.
"Unless Chad gets to a point where he's got an offer on the table that would suggest he wants to leave, we plan for him to stay in 2019," Davies said.
"We're certainly not going to force Chad out. If he wants to stay at our footy club in 2019, he'll be here."

The wording from Port is a little strange.
Obviously a bit more to this story so the next few weeks will be interesting.

Re: The Chad Thread
That says pretty much nothing. Except that they are prepared to trade. So maybe he's still in play.

True! We could also celebrate the English / Scot / Irish / Welsh backgrounds. if you were allowed to without wanting to be labeled 'racist'.

Well, I love Tim English, I though Scot Welsh was very good and underrated, and an Irish rookie would be nice as we've never had a one (that I can remember).
