Even 5yrs is a gamble. It appears that he may have some shoulder issues? At least that what it looks like whenever he gets a hit, he's always winged after heavy contact. Who knows if his shoulder/s will cope even after another 3yrs

Well if gov wants to put contracts on hold it is time to sign gaff and lycett . Stupid to pay a defender a million a year !
GOV will find out like lever did that the grass isnt always greener .

 

[Chris_6678]

Lycett loves playing as a tree in his drama class's at Uni so i think he isn't going anywhere!

 

[Figure09]

McGovern will leave at the end of the year its pretty obvious

it wasn't a tree. It was an asparagus.



PS if this is overdubbed in Spanish I win the internet.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Nope. Draft night reaction and 1st press conference, he didn't appear remotely enthused compared to our other selections.
Unless he's the type who doesn't show much emotion I suppose.

That seems to be his personality, pretty laid back character. Similar in the AFL.com.au video before the draft.

 

[Bacchus]

Get over it and pay McGovern what he wants. He's a super star and has earned it. Would be devastating to lose him over one year. Players like him don't grow on trees.

 

[Truckosaurus]

His manager's Colin Young, yeah? Guy loves to play silly buggers. I don't know if Gov'll stay or go, but I wouldn't read into this latest move.

It was Young who had Rosa 'keen to return to Melbourne' every time his contract was being negotiated, wasn't it?

Yeah all interviews I saw he's always very serious. Doesn't crack many smiles, happiest he looked is when he got drafted.

He was a wce supporter as a kid

Will def stay

This. Brander will sign soon!

While Kennedy is around it will be hard to play Brander, Darling, Waterman, Ryan and Allen x2 in the same team.

What riches we have in the forward line.

Could always turn one or two into defenders or mids/wingers.

Oscar allen already playing defence for east perth .
Matty allen also looks great as a key forward . So much depth .

 

[avishka5]

Doesn't Collin Young represent Gaff as well?

Think u r putting way too much weight to this. If he doesn’t play, he will go. Like anyone really.

 

[Godfather32]

I'd be very reluctant to pay McGovern more than $800K a year, I think it's too much out of our salary cap.
If he leaves we move Barrass into his role and play Schofield/Emac as the lockdown defender. Obviously means we'll have to draft a KPD at some point in this draft but I don't think it'll hurt us as much as everyone thinks.

We'd need two first rounders for him.

Seems unlikely we'd get that.

There were a fair few games last year we would have lost without mcg

 

[kranky al]

My old boy is friends with ........ fwiw ......... said coniglio wants to come home but wants to win a flag with gws first.

Dunno whether blue and gold or purple preference or doesnt care.

Last year we were slow and crap through the middle so he needed to save us in multiple games.

Us?

Slow and crap?
Why do you reckon that was?

 

[Godfather32]

Can't quite put my finger on it, it's like a great curly headed weight has been lifted off our midfield.
Obviously bringing Cole in to the team helps though.

I would trade him for McGovern straight up.

Exactly. That being the case though whats the difference in risk between a 5 or a 6 year deal?

If he wants a 6th fine, its $700k not $1m.

 

[FKASC]

He doesn’t show any emotion on field either. Seems mildly peeved all the time.

I’m sure he loves it in Perth

 

[The wily weagle]

Does anyone know which club in Melbourne is into McGovern?

If it's Carlton, tell them we will do a straight swap for Patrick Cripps, happily.
