The Chad Thread

Re: The Chad Thread

Call my cynical, but I have a thought. The AFEL has changed the trade period so it finishes in prime time TV. Any tv producer would tell the AFEL that you need a big suspense, big names to attract people to watch it with white knuckles. And with their viewers attention, advertise the shit out of it for profit. A last second Josh Schache trade isn't impressive enough a debut tv opportunity for them. To make this a money maker, they need a big name or three running into the trade room at AFEL house at the last second. Maybe the AFEL have identified Wingard and Port and Port with GCS and GCS with May as their finale, proving that their concept works. The deals might be done in secret, but this suspense feels like an audience is being primed and every story guessing different outcomes is stoking the interest. I may well be wrong, but I'm pretty good with smelling AFEL manipulation bullshit.

Well if it is indeed all about cash for The Chad, besides Essendon, there’s no greater money pit than heading off to the Suns.

Given the Gillon-era league's general conduct, and with Croc media's stubby fingers all over this, frankly I'd be more surprised if this wasn't going on.

I still think we are ahead to get him in my heart of hearts. And not necessarily about Chad related cash, but AFEL and Croc Media advertising cash. Where players, clubs and fans are being manipulated for their profits.

Re: The Chad Thread

Wish chad would just decide. If we are not his destination, say so, to at least give Sam Power the time to get Lloyd, duraya, Townsend, rose and anyone else in that bracket, that their clubs don’t want.

If it means missing out on that group of players I'm happy for Chad to delay his decision until 5min before the cut-off... allowing just enough time to get the deal done.

Well, given that list of players you have just run through please dear god let Chad hold his tongue until the very last moment!

I agree, coz going from wingard to those mentioned as our trade period adds leaves a little spew in my mouth.

Just had a quick look around...cannot see any reference to this on Twitter or anywhere so as Chad put it, unless it comes from him or his management, don't believe it.

I hope you’re very right.

Re: The Chad Thread

Ok...might still be hope..

From BF

I just spoke to a friend who works at 3aw and it was a mention that Wingard was interested in going to hawthorn as well as the bulldogs. This has not been mentioned via twitter at all on there page.

Re: The Chad Thread

Basically someone supposedly heard it on 3AW and some other people got texts from mates (not people they usually get news from) so it's very much unconfirmed.

Just confirms that the worst scenario is Hawthorn recruiting him. Feel it in your heart. You know it to be true.

Re: The Chad Thread

Barrett & Plough still talking about Dogs Pick 7 for Wingard as likely trade right now. For what it’s worth. Not Hawthorn as favourite.

Plough saying Port working towards getting 7 from us, to go for 2 & 3 from GCS.
