The Chad Thread

Re: The Chad Thread

The article has been edited to include this line:

The Herald Sun understands the Wingard camp called the Bulldogs today to inform them he would only play for the Hawks or Power next season.

Well if true, bring on pick 7 or Steven May who it looks like is ripe for the picking as of this arvo.

Re: The Chad Thread

I'd argue that post flag there have been a number of areas on and off field that don't present us in the best light.

What things on the field?

Off Field, I would be saying to the player, we have a strong financial position with 3 years of $1 million plus profits, we have great facilities and are about to embark on another big development at the ground, we have a premiership coach with a young vibrant team all in your age bracket who can stick together and make history. The fans will love you and you will become a cult hero.

Re: The Chad Thread

Slowly reading it again.

The article says he has not determined to leave Port yet.
He's only 'leaning' towards Hawks.
There's 'no trade request'.
Based on The Hun 'understanding' from an unknown source or club (his manager jacking the price or Port putting on pressure to get our pick 7).
And Hawthorn only have 15 & 35, but dogs have 7.
Dogs had supreme confidence in landing him.

I freely admit the appearance looks like he's not coming to us. But there's actually not a lot of evidence in that one article to feel 100% in any direction to be honest.

I'm not 100% convinced that "Wingard's" preference for Hawthorn isn't a journalistic fantasy. I can't see any form talk about anything.

I'm not that stressed anyway. Wingard or pick 7 will do me either way.

Re: The Chad Thread

So who have we attracted?

No one. We aren't a destination club. You claimed we are worse than everybody else including St Kilda, North and even Gold Coast. I think we are at the same level as St Kilda and North.

Re: The Chad Thread

If he stays and it's been one big dick tease to both clubs, liking both teams players Instagram accounts all of a sudden for weeks, taking the limelight, slowing the club's down from trading and pissing everyone off... The words escape me...

How old is Dayne Beams?

Re: The Chad Thread

Could Hawthorn offer Ceglar as well as draft picks? They seem to be keen to get him off their books.

29 before the season starts.

Re: The Chad Thread

What a waste of time.

To be played again is annoying.

Hard to see this ever changing - we simply cannot attract high end talent

Re: The Chad Thread

The only upside is every other thread wasn't consumed with whatever this was from Wingard. Practical joke maybe.

Not to Port since they just got Lycett.

It is the fault of the AFL. What attracts these blokes to the MCG tenants is the pull of the big crowds and the block busters.(include Bombres because they get so many)

North - Polec. Gold Coast - Weller . Saints - Carlisle . Off the top of my head.

Re: The Chad Thread

*!*!*!*! it, offer pick 7 to Adelaide crows to scare Port. It would give Adelaide hand to trade with GC for pick 2 or 3. Port will say to Chad it dogs or us.

Re: The Chad Thread

Considering we went public with our interest this feels (to me) a massive slap in the face. I would assume we would not have done that without a strong belief it was likely . Have to say I'm pretty dissapointed. And it's not about Chad, it's about our perception as a club. I don't get it.
