Jeremy "Turbo" McGovern

[Gydafud]

I like that he can still continue the traditions of "bloke with average looking body can still play AFL". Just gotta have the skills.

Up there with Dew and Dipper.

Peter Matera says hi!

Eagles defender.

I don't think anyone will pass Matera for best finals performance though, for the Eagles.

I sit corrected

 

[Ron The Bear]

Heroic tonight, along with Petrie and a few others.

 

[Jables]

He was definitely a gun tonight, Priddis and Shuey just as good tonight though.

 

[Blue1980]

Both McGoverns are great. But Jeremy was immense tonight very true

McGovern is like the younger version of Brian Lake.

 

[Eaglespur]

McGovern is like the younger version of Brian Lake.

Except way better

 

[SterlingArcher]

Except way better

McGovern probably more consistent and less prone to brain-fades, but Lake was just brilliant at his best and regularly stood up in big games.

McGovern was amazing tonight though.

The mans just a gun best fullback since Scarlett. (bias)

 

[exxcessivve]

Dunno why any opponents bother to kick the ball anywhere within 10m of him. He's got tractor beams in his palms

 

[Righteo]

Best in the business right now. Gets points for actually being able to defend, too.

I find his backstory fascinating. A late rookie pick who spent THREE FULL SEASONS on the rookie list without a game, got a 4th year, which is pretty much unprecedented then just randomly bobbed up one year as a marking machine.

IIRC he was too overweight in his first few years which is why he never got a game lol

They did well to keep the faith. But I can't think of any other instance where a rookie has been retained for a 4th year.

Clancee Pearce.


But anyway, the real hero here is Andrew McGovern, inaugural Docker and deadset legend of the game.

Andrew McGovern was on a VHS I had as a kid from Fremantle's inaugural season. Melbourne won the game, but Chris Groom was giving us headaches early on.

Memories!

It's rare, we were very close to getting rid of him apparently.

 

[ManOfClay]

Arrogant of port to play Marshall really. Trengove easily a better option

 

[Jak!x]

Eagles have a steal, easily worth more than Lever will command. More impact too.

Glass on Barry Hall in the 06 grand final?

Edit: see it was for the eagles. My mistake.

Fails the test of being both an Eagles player and a Defender but yeah sure you were close

See my edit. It's Nearly 2am
And I'm posting from the line up to a nightclub toilet

McGovern was amazing tonight though.

And yet the commentators reckoned Marshall was doing a good job, minimising his impact! Not that I blame Marshall, but I wondered what game they were watching.
