He was dropped. They just don't want to come out and say it as he's been a good player for them over many years.
I wish someome at Adelaide could "manage" Richard Douglas.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
Yeah, "manage" to push him out the door. Sorry Douggie, I used to love you, but my team means more to me than you... so bye.

Oh no no, he's being "managed" apparently.

Probably 4 weeks later than it should have been
Big Mac dropped.... $750k for a VFL player
Well he has been costing them about $10k a possession. His contract must be based on AFL games and they are sick of paying that price

“Managed” as in, “I can’t believe a guy we’re paying $750k/year has managed to do so little this year.”

Got to laugh at a carlton supporter and a port supporter polluting the hugh greenwood thread on the main draft board calling hugh a c grader and worth no more than pick 49

Well currently Hugh wouldn't get a game in Ports midfield..... and Carlton do know a C grader when they see one.
TBH they aren't far off, at his best he's a solid B but he's not performing close to that now.

The AFL are extremely keen to at least keep the first 2 round selections in the ND "uncompromised"
GC in particular would benefit more from assistance in other areas
Will Mitch ask to break his contract and seek a trade?
All depends where Teague is.
For those of you saying the AFL won't give GC a PP at the top of the draft because we made the trade first. Cast your minds back to the trade of Sugar Kane Johnson to Richmond, where due to the Carlton penalties we were denied pick 2 and had to settle for pick 4. Both Richmond and the Crows went on record to say, if they had known about the penalties they would have not agreed to doing the trade.
If, this happens it'll be exactly the same scenario. People wonder why I loathe VFL House. Nothing more than a bunch of pondscum.
Neither GC nor Bloos deserve any aid this year. They received players from the state leagues last year, why should they keep getting help year after year. Oh and what did the bloobaggers do? They promptly traded those players. GC at least held onto theirs.

So.... Mitch McGovern gets managed so I go into the draft board and find the Mitch McGovern trade thread.
I simply suggest he has been dropped and not managed, a few other comments come along. Nothing bad as far as I could see.
Now all of a sudden that thread doesn’t exist anymore. These guys are pathetic

I would take McGovern back for 3rd rounder + Gibbs.
Surely this is a win for both Clubs.

“Managed” as in, “I can’t believe a guy we’re paying $750k/year has managed to do so little this year.”
Maybe they mean managed, like he bought his own KFC franchise and now he’s a manager?
Maybe they are getting him set for their game against us?
But Carlton must be starting to realise they bought the 2nd best brother by a long long margin.

Interesting comment from Teague that McGovern just isn't fit enough, I don't think that would surprise anyone here, his preseason was interrupted, but there is an element of attitude and weakness for KFC (who doesn't TBH - Remember Jumping Jai at the Sydney Olympics had a few smokes and KFC before Silver medallist in the triple jump?? Champion).
