Nah..it wouldn't be mitch +picks as you are devaluing mitch and over reaching with neale who is a very good player but no fyfe or dangerfield. Don't worry we wouldn't do the deal either and as mitch is with us for 3 more seasons at least and neale felt burnt the crows overlooked him originally..it is never a likely scenario☺
Mitch plays a blinder every 5 weeks and is ordinary/average the rest of the time. Lachie is good/great most weeks.
Mitch was far more consistent this year and is 3-4 years younger than neale from memory. Like i said you can have neale and we will keep mcgovern
Neale is just 25 and mitch is 24 later in the year. 18 months in it.
Oh i though neale was older as it seems like he has been around forever. Mcgovern's latest injury was pure bad luck in a collision and it sucks as he has been a match winner more recently for us. The thing mcgovern has shown this year is that he can go back and play good defence and is very adaptable (i think he could end up like his brother as a very good defender in the long run)
If Gov comes to Fremantle, it will an offer the Eagles can’t match.
Mate I don't make the deals give the club a call if you don't like it. Just telling you how it is going down, if it does at all.A godfather deal for a 26yr old intercepting CHB with questionable shoulders
If Freo are stupid enough to do that they can have him, will likely send Freo to wallow in the bottom 8 for the next 6 years as if you over pay players other talent leaves to get paid fair coin.
Every second game Gov comes off the field with his arm hanging like a dead limb. Freo coughs up $1.2M + per year for six years and he spends half that with crook shoulders. A real bargain.
Double edged sword the old godfather deal.
Think Gaff will go and Gov will get his 6th year but not on $1 m base.
How do the Crows have pick 7?
No idea but if it is enough to make him leave West Coast I am telling you it is a lot more than you guys are willing to offer.
Too many injuries and have you seen their draw from here..ugly. Pick 7 might be conservative, it might end up being more like pick 5
McGovern would be great...BUT unless it is a free agency deal that does not cost draft picks, the crows IMO won't be in the running as what the last few weeks have shown is that whilst we have some very strong inside mids, once the ball gets to the outside we have been found badly wanting and if sloane leaves it only gets worse. This draft I think the club will load up with as many 1st and 2nd round picks as it can to bring in quality outside mids. Rankine could very likely end up with us as he has made it clear he loves the crows and does not want to leave SA - huge flight risk but ultra quality (he will be the crows 1st pick in the draft i think so they won't be parting with it in any trade)
Lol
Laughable hey...
you are absolutely correct..unless Rankine demands to go only to the Adelaide Crows at the end of the first 2 year contract or he will nominate for the draft thus dramatically reducing any bargaining power the club had. The other issue for the club (or any club other than the crows) to reconcile is that by drafting him in spite of the risks you then would have missed drafting another super talent in this draft that might not have been such a potential flight risk..so it probably becomes a lose lose scenario. The kid wants to become a crows B& F and does not want to leave the state....
There is no different from Lever situation , if he want to go to the his destination club ,the club need to paid up. You can't ask Melbourne to come up with two first round pick and expect other club to ask for less when your club is the destination club .
