Bulldogs keen to lure Wingard from Power

Chad Wingard's AFL future remains a mystery, with the Port Adelaide star saying he will talk publicly when the time is right.

The Western Bulldogs have confirmed they are interested in recruiting the two-time All Australian, but it remains unclear whether Wingard wants to leave the Power.

"You'll hear my side of the story when the time is right dw (don't worry) about that," Wingard posted on Instagram.

"But unless a statement comes from me or my management don't listen to them.

"Thank you for all the support over the last couple of week it means a lot."

Also on Thursday, Bulldogs list manager Sam Power said they would put the question officially to Port next Monday when the trade period starts.

"There is a lot to play out and a lot of movement through the trade period, but we're always looking to improve our list," Power told the AFL website.

"We definitely have some interest in Chad."

Wingard becomes eligible for free agency at the end of next season.
