Wingard, in just his second year of AFL, has been brilliant this season playing as a high forward.
The 20-year-old has kicked 38 goals, prompting many experts to predict end of season honours in 2013.
Spurr, who often takes the opposition’s most dangerous small forward, said whoever played on Wingard had a big task.
“Chad Wingard has been having a great year, and as you’ve seen, they’ve thrown around that he might be an All Australian, so he’s in really good form and whoever plays on him has got a really big role,” he said.
“He kicks goals and he runs well and he seems pretty hard at it.
“He’s someone that we’re definitely going to have to pay attention to.”
Spurr, 26, kicked his first AFL goal in last weekend’s game against Melbourne at the MCG.
It came in the same weekend that North Melbourne’s Nathan Grima, who Spurr played against in his SANFL days, kicked his first AFL goal in his fifth season.
Spurr, like Grima, celebrated his goal in exuberant fashion.
A week earlier, the tough defender had missed a set-shot against GWS at Patersons Stadium.
“The boys gave me a bit of stick for missing a shot against GWS the week before, some of them were saying I’d probably never kick one,” he joked.
“I got a chance to kick one and I enjoyed it a lot.
“I told ‘Pav’ (Matthew Pavlich) that I was trying to pass it to him, hoping it would go through.
“It worked out alright.”
