For sure. But we won’t RELY on him as much if the ball isn’t getting back there.Intercept marking is a key component to complement a strong midfield. A strong midfield closes down the short options leading to long rushed kicks where an intercept mark can start the ball moving forward faster.
How many players of Gov's profile and for that matter, Gaff's, have sought to leave clubs via free agency? Dangerfield is the obvious case and a deal was done. I can't think of any others. Carlisle might be another but he was nearly a fringe player when he left and not getting on with the club/coach.My apologies, I thought you'd just ignored free agency altogether.
No one has ever matched a bid. Adelaide indicated they would match Geelong's bid so Geelong decided to deal rather than go down the free agency route. That's the only time that has occurred since free agency was introduced in 2012. And it was a little bit affected by the fact that Danger didn't move for a whopper deal, he moved home to Geelong who paid him less than if he'd signed with a St Kilda or a North Melbourne. Someone else posted that earlier.
If St Kilda use their war chest to make Gaff an offer he can't refuse then it'll likely be one that we can't afford to match. Especially since we're also trying to keep Gov. If we matched the offer and didn't get a trade done we'd have to shed players to keep him.
And St Kilda's draft position is a little limited, they don't have any picks in the first three rounds of 2018 other than their first rounder.
If he leaves, the best case scenario I think is that we don't match and get a top-band compo pick after our (nominal) first rounder, which if we make finals will be somewhere in the teens.

Goddard was 30 ish?, and St Kilda were offloading a lot of their good players for some strange reason. Franklin is the obvious example but something was going on behind the scene there. All the other players you've named are second tier lesser lights.There was a guy named Franklin in 2013. Others who've gotten first round or end of first round compo are Goddard, Frawley, Rockliff and Motlop.
Carlisle was a trade.
Opposite, if the midfield does it's job you rely on players down the line who read the play and can mark more (and move it on quickly and effectively). The turnovers don't come in the midfield, the turnovers come down the field from the forced mistakes caused by the midfield.For sure. But we won’t RELY on him as much if the ball isn’t getting back there.

So you’re saying our reliance on McGovern increases as the number of opposition i50s decreases...Opposite, if the midfield does it's job you rely on players down the line who read the play and can mark more (and move it on quickly and effectively).

If you have a weak midfield you rely on players down the line who can contain opposition.
McGovern complements good midfields, Mackenzie compliments bad midfields.
Okay, so Goddard. But as I said St Kilda were cleaning out players. One, or two, or even three players proves my point, there have not been many high profile players still wanted by their club who have moved.Goddard was 27, one year older than Gaff will be in this free agency period.
Simmo says his favs our gov and he also says he has the most challenging relationship is with gov. Interesting!!

Never mentioned number of inside 50s, or inside 50s at all.So you’re saying our reliance on McGovern increases as the number of opposition i50s decreases...
Bit of respect mate, he ain't a 2004 All Australian Benchman
You can probably ask the same of people that don't understand how restricted free agency worksHow do people still not get how free agency works?
The campaigner is 2 years older than me but legit looks like he went to school with my old man.
