Toast Jeremy 'Balls of Steel' McGovern

[bodazoka]

Kid looks like he has played 150 games all ready, seriously good player. Floats down back and takes a saving mark, floats up forward and kicks the sealer how many kids in there 3rd? game do that?

 

[kranky al]

this guy comes to play...and boy can he PLAY!
the King has been disappointing of late (the king is dead, long live the king?) but we need to cut him some slack, he's being double/triple ganged..lets see how the Gov handles that when the time comes, and it will!!...but then the King will slip out, or Lecca or JK.

As was shown when we had lynch.... You can't hold all three - one gets off the leash

Can't wait for Karpany and Newman to develop and break into the team as they will have a field day sweeping up the crumbs of McGovern, Kennedy, Darling, Lycett and NicNat!

I always preffered "Shooter" McGovern.

Still not sure about his height though, but doing well with the disability!

Looks like he's still carrying some puppy fat, but he's got very good presence and composure.

 

[WCE_phil]

one of those players who just looks better at afl level and at worst is he plays utility and takes the third man up on either darling or kennedy out of the way. Love his composure and how he just flies at the ball. Most impressive thing from this game for me even though he kicked 3.3 is that he took 10 marks from 14 possessions. Is a genuine top line mark of the ball. Even if he is the somewhere in between the size of frodo and Yao Ming.

 

[Dark Sharks]

Looks like an old fashioned natural forward.

Funny watching people on fanfooty and on here give him nicknames.

His nickname has been Turbo at the club since he got there, it's definitely not new.

Errr, his nickname here was Shooter ever since he was drafted. Clubs need to respect these things... sheesh.


I mean who would you rather be, this guy:

Or THIS GUY:

Go Shooter!

but he looks so much more like the snail!

or is that waiting for Newman to break out? I think he is gone.

 

[Prem87]

We've backed him saying we'll keep him on the list next year.

He obviously very talented and highly rated by the club for them to do that.

He would have played this year if he didn't go to jail.

The thing about Shooter, is that he eats pieces of s**t for breakfast.

Sorry for the intrusion guys... I heard McGovern missed training today. Anyone know if he's alright? Want to bring him into my dreamteam as he looks like an absolute gun. Thanks

 

[Xsess]

Here we are crying out for mids... and up jumps another key forward!

During the GC game he was getting work on what looked like a hip flexor muscle. I don't know if that's the reason he (apparently) didn't train today. Have to wait and see on this one.

 

[Chris_6678]

If any player is remotely sore they usually don't train on Tuesdays i have noticed.

Can confirm my 9 year old nephew didn't train today due to soreness, nothing to it lol.

 

[Prem87]

The next Adam Hunter - but with more natural talent! Big Game Player!

 

[Mattman93]

Prem87, at the risk of de-railing the thread slightly, when did we say we'd keep Newman on the list next year?

I was also thinking about this. when would his rough release date be and is he still with us etc?

 

[Doughboy]

Nah, he is "reverse hunter"

Starts forward, then goes back

 

[lmach]

We shall call him 'Retnuh'.

 

[Marlin01]

We shall call him 'Retnuh'.

Or "the gatherer".... nah retnuh is fine.

 

[Suma Magic]

Is going to destroy his undersized opponent this weekend.

Quick derailment - best I've seen is this: https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/sport/a/23257463/newman-thrown-west-coast-lifeline/

West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett says the club intends to give jailed forward Murray Newman a second chance by retaining him on its rookie list next year.

Nisbett had previously guaranteed Newman would remain as a rookie-listed player with the club this year, but has now given a strong indication that lifeline will be extended into 2015.
