Apologies for any inconvenience. We will try to find a replacement.
Wow. Do I have to say it again. By all reports Mitch wants out, and if that's true then you would rather keep him on the list and not get a high skilled kid that wants to play for you in Rankine? As I said, wowAbsolutely. McGovern is contracted for the next two years. We would value him at a first and second round pick, minimum. If you think someone would give all of that up, just to move nine spots in the draft then I don't know what to say.

The gamble is whether he would cost more than that should he choose to come home and play for Adelaide if he starts his career at Brisbane or Carlton.

Unders? If acquiring Rankine, will not be unders.Even if it’s true he wants out, thats no reason for us to accept massive unders for him.
Then let me comment on the deals individually.
1. Horrendous. Giving up McGovern to move nine picks is insane.
2. This is pretty much the equivalent of three firsts and a second for pick one. I think that's a disaster.
McGovern, right now, is worth roughly a first and a second.
So, to get two players who may or may not work out, you've traded the equivalent of five firsts and two seconds.
You may slightly disagree with my value, but it still is a shocker of a deal.

Not in this draft and after this season.McGovern, right now, is worth roughly a first and a second.
There's ample ways we could get into a position to draft Rankine. We'd maybe even look at a McGovern for pick five to guarantee it.Wow. Do I have to say it again.

Then he stays with the Crows. Easy.Not in this draft and after this season.
Last year I'd agree.
For pick one? I'd give up McGovern and the Melbourne pick.1. We basically change Mitch for Rankine. Perhaps it is pick 19 and McGovern for pick 5 then.
What would you give up to get pick 1?
For pick one? I'd give up McGovern and the Melbourne pick.

Why possibly would the Crows trade a tall forward contested marking beast who is contracted for the next two years?First and second for McGovern? Laughable.
Because Lukosius is a risk. Because they've had plenty of first picks and they're still rebuilding. Because they have multiple areas to fill. Because McGovern is the only guaranteed good player in that transaction. Because recently key forwards drafted early have all been busts.Why would Carlton (or another team) want to come away from a super (in terms of top several picks) draft with 2 good players instead of 1 great one?
Answer
They won’t
Because Crows want over and everybody being Tight as...Because Lukosius is a risk. Because they've had plenty of first picks and they're still rebuilding. Because they have multiple areas to fill. Because McGovern is the only guaranteed good player in that transaction. Because recently key forwards drafted early have all been busts.
McGovern is a better contested mark than Lukosius. Is better defensively. Has proven his talent.
Lukosius looks like he'll have a big tank, is great by foot and 5cm taller.
Blues could get the guaranteed player who can deliver immediately and a first round pick.
Or not - that's fine too.

If he wants to leave the Crows will trade him. It's the done thing. If he is anything like every other player to break a contract, he will nominate a state or a specific club of choice. The Crows will then proceed to be reamed or opt to keep a player that doesn't want to play for them on their list. Not many examples of the latter occurring but plenty of the former.Why possibly would the Crows trade a tall forward contested marking beast who is contracted for the next two years?
He'll stay.

No, the reasons were what they said they couldn't pay him then signed Gibbs for more.Then he stays with the Crows. Easy.
He's only just been resigned so we're in no rush to trade him.
Plus, supposedly one of the issues is around the delays in re-signing Tom Lynch, and that's all been solved so if anything he has reasons to want to stay.

For a straight swap if it were possible, I think we might do that. But it would not be possible to do thatUnders? If acquiring Rankine, will not be unders.
pick 2 for weller...laughable (oh..it actually happened!)First and second for McGovern? Laughable.
what if the melbourne pick ended up being used with a later pick to secure Gaff? they get the top end mid in the age demographic they want and they get a strong marking fast forward that can also play in defense. Not saying they would do it, but there are other options for the 1st round pick that would go with mcgovern in the hypothetical deal mentioned. What about if by Mitch going there it helped get Jeremy under Free agency? Al lI am saying is that it is not so cut and dried what could happenWhy would Carlton (or another team) want to come away from a super (in terms of top several picks) draft with 2 good players instead of 1 great one?
Answer
They won’t
what's laughable about that? he does notpick 2 for weller...laughable (oh..it actually happened!)
Sorry i would like him at my club but in all honesty he ain't worth a pick 5,6 or 7 in this draft, you will say then we keep him but by all reports he is disgruntled so good luck with that.For a straight swap if it were possible, I think we might do that. But it would not be possible to do that
