angular2 material and date - how to get the currently selected date

Dudes of angular2 material apparently did not want to show how to get the currently selected date...selectedChanged returns the last date.

 <md-input-container>
                    <input mdInput [mdDatepicker]="picker" placeholder="Choose a date" [(ngModel)]="wtf">
                    <button mdSuffix [mdDatepickerToggle]="picker"></button>
            </md-input-container>
            <md-datepicker #picker [startAt]="startDate" (selectedChanged)="duder()"></md-datepicker>



duder(){
      console.log('duder',this.startDate,this.wtf)
      console.log('duder--r',moment(this.wtf).format('DD-MM-YYYY'))
  }

I mean wow..I make a change..and what I get is the last date..not the current date that I selected.

If I change the date..how do I get the current date from my duder() function?
