McGovern: 1 yr @ start of 2016, 3 years at the end of 2017 - confirmed legend

[jackster83]

Both clubs would be stupid to get into a bidding war with each other. Mcgoverns good but he still won't solve freo's forwardline problems as he is a third tall like Mccarthy and kersten. If bid hard for him we will lose a pick that we could potentially use on finding and developing a kennedy replacement (good draft for KPP's) or finding another mid that they need. I think the we personally know that we got bigger issues to fix than go all out for a talented medium tall
Personally id be happy for freo to over reach for him. In that way we can go for JJ from the dogs and address our issue with foot speed.

You want midfielders and players with speed?

Boy have you come to the right place: we've got one with 170+ games you can have!

 

[avishka5]

I don't dispute that. No offence but if Gov has a run at it he gets altitude sickness.
Tex and JJ can't jump like Gov, simple as that.

Good player but you take mitch out of the best forward line in the comp and he will get triple teamed or more. He wouldn't be efficient in Freo's forward line.

 

[avishka5]

The only reason Gov is leaving is to go home, no one is offering him overs, its all up to him wanting to go home or not, no different to how Danger was

if gov is open to go to either club and both offering a similair deal, then what crows want for him will have a huge bearing. Thats what i meant by overs as well.

You need Mids as well rights? well we got this big bodied mid with +150 games of experience and coincidently if from SA as well.

 

[TexForPM]

Yeah maybe, maybe not. He only kicked 32 though.
I'm talking about his contested marks.
Tex and JJ can't take those. He can, tex needs the perfect roost and JJ is soft. JJ could and hope he changes.

Ok then, of the established interstate sides, we've lost more than any other club. Now is that because they've recruited less interstaters, done a better job at retaining them or we've been unlucky?

Are you sure?

 

[Crowbots are dead]

We won back to back flags with the majority of the team from SA, West Coast won their flags with mainly West Aussies playing. There's nothing wrong with picking our best kids, after all we are a footy state and our kids are pretty bloody good.

Ok so then it's goodbye to Rory Sloane and any future Sloane . What absolute rubbish . We keep way more then we lose !

 

[Crowbots are dead]

So the problem is that the goos ones leave. No ones going to poach rubbish.
If we had of gone Burton over Doedee we would be better off. Kid is favourite for the Rising Sun.

Yeah Talia , Sloane, crouches etc are duds. You are a negative ninny

 

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

If tex or jenkins had to take the marks Gov had they would be well under.
They do get some contact but tex and JJ has maybe one huge mark every 3-4 weeks

Gov does it every game.

Maybe they have better positioning then. You can't blame Tex and Jenkins for getting easier marks due to them getting away from their opponents.

True.
If you had a hospital ball coming in who would you rather out of Tex, JJ and Gov?
Eddie always gets pretty high too.

Find me a club that's lost the quality of Bock, Davis, Gunston, Tippett and Danger.

GWS would have lost more I would have thought. Though they can afford to, and would have better returns.

I'd happily swap Mackay for Redden. I'd do it today. Where do we sign?

Kennedy they voluntarily traded out to get Judd.
Betts they let walk.
Jacobs was their 4th in line ruck.
Waite was over 30
Henderson I'll pay.

lions. In any case it doesn't mean that we should only go local. most of the team we currently have wouldn't exist

Lions have only lost Docherty , Yeo and Polec that are significant

We should have got Ben Kennedy or Jimmy Toumpas instead of Brad Crouch in the mini draft.

Longer was pick 8 and they were spewing at the time.

I'm sure they're not spewing any more
