Apparently signed a deal on unders last year, with Adelaide telling him they were hard pressed for coin in the salary cap- they wheeled out the 'stay for premiership success' line instead and convinced him. But upon Adelaide signing Bryce Gibbs on a big money deal, McGovern was not at all pleased and has requested a trade
That’s 100% correct.

Would have even less chance of one with North. Surely some Sydney player got 4 touches and is therefore a more worthy nomination.
Or a BLUWS player....they had like 3 or so last year.

Clarke averaged like 27p in his last 3-4 games of last season and nothing.

North get a mention as McGovern’s preferred suitor! Not sure if true... but where there’s smoke there’s fire

Listening to Durrwayne, Healy and Lethal tonight and their rumour bloke, mentioned he wants to come to Victoria and a club is trying very hard to reunite the McGovern brothers.

Why the **** would we want a 190cm forward?

Moving on................Dayne Beams anyone?

1st round --> Brisbane
Beams 38 & 56 --> North

29 all next season. Could play for another 4 years.
Quality.

1st is a big cost however as you kind of see a 1st as a potential star player that will give you maybe 10 years.

Very tempting though.

Seems like theres new names every week that get injected into this trade mix and thrown out the next, it's like the media just tag on 'North's involved in this at every trade rumors'.

It's getting quite tiring honestly, and it makes the club look bad if nothing comes to fruition. I'm glad we're having a crack, but if it isn't true, I wish they'd stop reporting it as such. At this point give me 1 name that's surely putting pen to paper for us and I'll be back on board about giving a damn about any name on the trade table.

By the sounds of things, this years free agency/ trade period could be large.
Some big names:

JMcGovern
MMcGovern
Sloane
Beams
Gaff
T.Lynch
D.Moore
De Goey

Would take all of them bar Tom Lynch (reported fee in excess of 1.2 mil per season is ridiculous) and Darcy Moore who I think is a bit of a nothing footballer

Reason I'd be interested in Mitch McGovern is because there's a decent chance his brother joins as well. Would take some convincing though

Along with Browny and Taz, getting McGovern brothers would mean we'd have by far best KPP's in the comp. Unfortunately the chances are slim at best. Both may come to Vic but it'll be with different clubs.


Much more likely scenario is that Jeremy stays with WC and Mitch comes home and ends up with Freo.

Cerra is/was a tiger fan. I know he nominated North as his club of choice during the draft but I reckon that was so he avoided going interstate or to Carltank. We would be lucky to get him to nominate us now. That said would be a good pick up, at the right price...

I thought he was diehard north, one of the ones who missed out on getting picked by us was. Maybe Dow?
Dow is BFNAAK. Cerra was a Tiger but his mum supported North.

“I’ve spoken to most clubs in that range but they don’t give much away,” Cerra said.

“Every time someone asks me where I’m going, I’m in the same boat as them, I honestly don’t know but it would be awesome to go to North. Mum is a North supporter.”

Yeah but to paraphrase Oscar Wilde. There's only one thing worse than being talked about in trade rumours and that's not being talked about in trade rumours.
