So you wanted his contract to role over on the old contract terms and remuneration structure?

We now have allowed him to shop around with no takers which in turn sets his new market price allowing us to resign him on base wages.

Also with that the realisation he won't get another list spot anywhere else so if he wants another pay check next year he needs to have a big season, esp with youngsters coming through. Good competitive tension now

Well played I would have thought?
You cant outplay a player.

No one noticed when Weitering got taken away from the contest that McGovern sat in the pocket leaving the undersized Kemp isolated time and time again as our 3rd defensive tall.

Conditional with a capital c. You want him rewarded - that type of culture is what kills Carlton.

Of course he will try when it suits him. He will ghost after that period of time. And if he does put in a huge season which is possible it would be the basis of a move elsewhere.
 
I see “play your role” Binns has been cut wth a year left on his contract…

Why not allow him to play out his contract in the vfl?
I hate to be brutal but primarily because he is a terrible kick. The club (rightly or wrongly) believe that he is not going to make it as an AFL footballer and with list spots at a premium have elected to keep others before him. And also they believe that Lucas Camporeale and Chesser are a better chance to hold down the wing position in the long term. And we have some salary cap relief that we can use to pay for it.

No, you clearly are.

Just because we have cut Binns doesn’t mean we had to.
We could now cut White and Flynn Young, both Rookies, and be able to take 4 ND picks.
It seems we will also cut Lij, but we don’t have to to get the extra pick.
Clearly you are. Need 4 open primary list spots.

At the moment we only have 3 with binns being cut
 
I’m disappointed that we haven’t been able to upgrade McGovern during this draft period and have to retain him - but you can’t fix our problems in one or two off seasons.

The real work started last off season, we’ve had another big turn over this one.

Next years offseason will see the last stage complete (McGovern, young, Boyd, Fog etc) and it’ll be a new look team in 2027.

Wright has said it will take him 2 years to get list balance right. No doubt they wanted Khamis to replace him.

I assume he is now on one year deal at minimum cost. At 30 he could play for another 3-4 years. He just needs to be on tight leash and adhere to standards that are hopefully being set

If (and it’s a big if) he can play to his ability he is a very good player. Maybe this is the shake up he needs?

I still believe we need another KPD though
 
We need to free up his list spot.
I would have rather cut Fog.
Think Binns has the improvement & we haven’t seen the best of him, hoping he gets on a list & shows he can play.
Fog, we’ve seen what he can do & he’s now so far down the pecking order it’s ridiculous.
We’ve seen his ceiling and it’s not high, if we see he named in the team this year something has gone horribly wrong &/or Voss is back to having NFI about how we should play.

Binns can run but not sure what else he brings....need to move past vanilla Binns types to move forward, Chesser is an immediate upgrade

Nice kid. Good footballer but small with average disposal. Really doesn’t have any weapons and we have Chesser Acres Ollie Florent Walsh Ison Wilson Lucas Flynn Cottrell that can all play that role.

List balance is very important
 
Jeez the knives are out for Gov, if we are fit & structured well the bloke can play.

When we fall down he looks shit, when we are solid he can be a damaging player.
He’s a hell of a field kick and can open up space & solid mark (apart from the occasional WTF fumble)

Seems to me that he’s getting scape goated & blamed when it’s the lack of run, spread & coverage in the back line.

When our mids aren’t gassed and getting sucked way to deep ie we have some structure, there’s no issue with him.

Gov isn’t the problem, he’s actually a weapon if structure & play a free flowing game style.

It’s the same with Saad, we don’t use him to his strengths then call him a liability.

The issues all stem further up the ground, you can’t blame defenders when the mid pressure is shit or when there’s no movement or leads coming further up the ground.

If we actually learn to manage our players & evolve to something that resembles a modern game style someone like Gov becomes an actual asset.
By all reports he’s busting his ass to be fit, let’s hope we use & manage him well.

Sorry Harry but disagree. He is lazy and conditional. Been on big money and hasn’t stood up when needed

Ability wise he has it all but McGovern is a classic example of why we have been poor for so long. The fact we offered him free to anyone and no one took him up says it all to me

I’ve already answered this multiple times. Can you really not count into the 40s, or are you trolling?
After this post I’m going to assume the latter.

We currently have 2 list spots with Binns cut.
Lij would make 3.
And we can open another Senior list spot by cutting the uncontracted Rookie White.
 
Harry I agree but Geesh he infuriates with poor efforts in the air, when he is under the ball (as distinct from on leads). He and Zach as defenders are extremely poor under the high kick.
Yep, he can be, he does also go beast mode occasionally (to rarely) & savages the pack & chase people down/crunches tackles.
He needs positive attitude around him to be at his best, soon as we drop our heads his drops lower than most

Just counted everyone. By my calculations we have 2 spots at the moment.

if we remove Elijah and White we will have 4 spots available which is my expectations

Only question is then do we need one more?

I don’t disagree, I do wonder if management & competition for his spot will actually keep him more engaged & locked into providing a constant effort 🤷‍♂️

You just summed up the issue. I am tired of it being someone else’s fault.

He took the big money and then turned up overweight. Not good enough

As a 30 year old with nearly 150 games when things get tough you stand up. Simple. Anything else is a weak excuse
 
The funny thing about Boyd and Fogarty extensions is that they were done when they were best 22 players in a finals side and should’ve been going into their prime. 2 years on low dollars didn’t seem crazy. Binns was a second year player killing it in the VFL. He was still 19 when he extended

In hindsight they were all mistakes but I can see how it happened.

No one really gets 1-year deals unless you're over 30, you have massive injury history or your career is hanging by a thread.

If you are best 30 or so and playing some senior games, you're getting a two-year extension.

Sometimes this will come back to bite you. Cost of doing business.
