Given the open secret that we were well into McGovern by this point, I watched him closely through the binoculars for much of our round 23 match. Was handy in defence for the Crows, but I'd hope we'd only have him pinch-hitting back there from time to time, of course.
What struck me most was, after the final siren, just how chummy and familiar he appeared to be with much of our playing group - not sure if this is due to all concerned knowing what was coming, or if he knows a bunch of our guys socially already, but it was clear that he was friendly and popular with our guys. They'll really like this signing, I think.
Welcome, Mitch! Go well, young man - and thanks for being one of the rare few wanting to join us. I hope we mutually repay that faith many times over.
