Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023
Are the Hawks now going to throw everything at Chad? Considering they missed Shiel.
Or Steven May who they're chasing by media reports. No one in SA or in PAFC circles are mentioning any other club than us if he leaves. Plus they can't compete on a trade and dollars. But they seem to be chasing everyone so far, so you'd think they'd go for him. But they're clearing thinking he's a 'plan b or c', which doesn't instill the confidence in him we have.

Not sure about that bold part if they had a mil set away for Shiel

That's the media thing, and who to believe. Some reports had Hawthorn capped at $800,000 for either of Shiel and Wingard.

I don't give money to The Hun and associated papers. However, Adelaide Addy have an article on six minutes ago titled 'Chad Wingard's big call on AFL future'.

I don't either but the blurb on Google seems to indicate the piece hypothesises that the Hawks could join the Wingard chase now that Shiel is gone.

So nothing to do with the actual title?

More intrigue as Hawthorn prepares to join Western Bulldogs in hunt for Port Adelaide’s Chad Wingard

CHAD Wingard can now count on an auction for his talents with Hawthorn clear to join the Western Bulldogs in courting the contracted Port Adelaide star.
The Hawks’ search to answer coach Alastair Clarkson’s call for class has failed to deliver Greater Western Sydney midfielder Dylan Shiel who is seeking a trade to Essendon.
And while Hawthorn — that already has an interest in trading for Power midfielder-forward Karl Amon — consider how far it can stretch its salary cap and strict wage system for Wingard, Port Adelaide is standing aside from the never-ending debate on Wingard’s future.
Power football chief Chris Davies on Tuesday drew the line on the Wingard saga.
Wingard either asks for a trade — or reports to pre-season training next month to complete his contract before becoming a free agent next year.
“We’re planning for Chad to be at our club in 2019,” Davies said.
“If Chad wants to leave, that’s a conversation he needs to have (with us). Right now, there’s no conversation we’ve had with him or his management that definitely suggests he wants out.”
That “conversation” between Port Adelaide and Wingard will be triggered by a rival AFL club putting a significant offer — such as a five-year, $5 million deal — before the 2013 Power club champion.
The Western Bulldogs last week formally declared their interest in 25-year-old Wingard.
The Hawks kept their focus on Shiel, who was courted by three other Victorian-based teams (Essendon, Carlton and St Kilda).
"I'll give him a hug before the first bounce and then I'll run into my pack and give them orders to rip him apart."
