Toast Jeremy McGovern re-signs for five years

[ChampRevesby]

...and commence slagging off Gaff and pretending we don't care if he leaves.

 

[Candiru]

Too many Singha beers in Thailand.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

* yeah!!

 

[Wosh]

Worth every penny, Gov is vital to our structure..would have been a disaster to lose him. Now that this is done I look forward to beast mode.

My bad he is actually 64th for midfielders (117 overall). Shuey and Yeo are 17th and 18th.

I am not saying I want to lose Gaff but if I had to choose between Gaff and Mcgovern I would go Mcgovern 100%.

So ranked 64 as a mid. Thats like he would be the 4th ranked mid at any club!

They must be last years rankings.

I would put him in the top 30 today.

 

[Mico89]

F**k yes Gov!

Quick everyone, to the freo broad!!!

Just been there, they now all of a sudden believe he would have been a bad fit for there club. ahahahah

 

[the harry]

The 5 years is the important part. Happy to pay a bit more with the knowledge he'll more than likely be good enough to play well for the length of it. The sixth year was always a scary.

1.1 million buys a lot of pad thai and Singha.

2019 - $12.76m
2020 - $13.02m
2021 - $13.28m
2022 - $13.54m

So we now know that over $8m of the yearly cap is spent on two players. Not sure how the others fit within the cap? Terrible list management I reckon.

Lol, I looked too and they are suddenly glad that they are not overpaying him. Apparently we have ruined our salary cap and all the gun WA free agents will now come to Freo.

We're not spending $8m on any 2 players each year?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I think it's $1m on Gov and $7m on Mutimer.

Those Mutimer $7m jokes are still funny, right?

Must say I think Gaff is worth more... if we keep him he'll be on nice coin.

And will be worth it once he does the triple this year (Brownlow, Premiership, Norm Smith).

sportsbet are paying $46 for the premiership/brownlow double. Worth a tenner I reckon

Gossage said on SEN all this talk of 1.1 million is just guess work and nothing solid.

 

[dave123]

Good news

Hes a master player ...however my one concern is if we change the rules of the game it might mean defending one on one more. Im sure he can adapt though.

I saw him play at 15 . Hes from my town I live in. I said then he would play AFL. IN A bar watching the u-17.
He was overweight and slow.

But f..k he could read the game like a sunday paper wirh your coffee....EASILY

FROM what ive heard hes a ripping fella too.

They are becoming the North Melbourne of the West no one of top end quality wants a bar of them , they just use the North’s and the Purples interest to hike up their eventual price at their Club.


Second thought they are becoming the Fitzroy of the West ..... tredding water at best.

They are going nowhere with RTB as their coach..... I do hope like hell they give him a lengthy extension .... the Guy is an egocentric , bombastic, arrogant w***er.

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Gossage said on SEN 99% of what is stated in the media is just guess work and nothing solid.

Fixed that for Goss.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Wonderful news for everyone

Except freo

 

[woosha24]

Except freo

They didn't even want him anyway, apparently.

Im pretty good at reading people..character and body language

Lyon has ability as a coach but agree hes not a good role model...how they kept him on after hush coin was paid was poor

They're allegedly paying Cam McCarthy around 600kpa. I'd take one Gov over 2 McCarthy's.

Of course who wants good key position players .
