Wingard..

Not enough to be on field with so many other better forwards this year, but handy bench cover

Pass for me

ok now im seriously looking him. Port look good, a tough loss to the eagles then taking out the dees who i rate. He was 98 average premo last year and will be about 370k. for 20k I can go kennedy to wingard, gotte be pretty happy with that given the dee boys are slowing down.

at worse he can be a a F7 M9  swingman

At best he can be a f7 m9 swingman.  With a host of players avg 100+ as m/f (yes theyre pricier) im not sure hes worth the risk.

If there was 50k between said parties id agree but Dahl who is the cheapest of the big wigs (Dahl,Martin,Joey,Zorko,Lids) is still
540k and although the rule changes seem to be really helping the big forwards like Roo, JJK can they keep it going all year?

A 135k saving is not to be sneezed at if you think Chad can come home averaging 95+

I think it depends whether your F1-5 are the cream of the crop or the slightly below guys.

My concern was Port not winning as many clearances due to their ruck situation and thus less forward entries for
Wingard to take advantage of.

Yeah, see what you're saying. I think Chad will avg 85 from here on in. He'll tonne up but have 60s as well. JJK can probably keep it up as long as West Coast have home games every second week. As a placeholder Wingard is ok, with the view to move him to f7 as quick as you can.  Fielding him all year against a myriad of guys averaging 100+ means you're losing points every week.

Just think the big wigs will come down in price like they always do (Martin last night?) and Chad will lose 20 points on those guys most weeks.  I went with Montagna this week at 530k and happy to pay that to finish my fwds.
