News Jeremy McGovern

[Eagle Ant]

Jeremy McGovern pick #44 in the rookie Draft.

Firstly Welcome Jeremy to the Eagles..

Now Does anybody know anything about this kid???
Profile, position, Size etc (Im looking at you Claremont supporters)

I will be the first to say I know Nothing about this kid and and suprised we picked him insted of guys like Monaco, Yu, Blight and Aaron Black etc.

 

[Sw3Et]

All I know is that his nickname has to be McLovin

 

[Double the Fist]

All I know is that his nickname has to be McLovin

Why not the Governator?

 

[Sw3Et]

Shooter McGovern?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Can't believe he is the son of Freo's McGovern

Must have a tall mother or the milkman got involved

 

[Brazen]

According to Woodhouse chat, McGovern is 194cm and 92kg

Country boy only come to Perth 1 season - so very short on AFL systems experience and will be developed slowly with lots of training needed. Wodhouse believes he's capable of playing a range of key positions.

 

[beatlesmith]

he is a good country boy thats been doing an electrical apprenticeship. only been up this year from Albany. big strong boy that is 194cms and 92 kgs. he will certainly need some training because he hasnt been in any big systems but will be brought along slowly. can play any key position

I'll be second. Never even heard of him before today. Bolt from the blue i hope. Think Aaron Black's still at North Eagle Ant unless your talking about a different one. No Aaron Elari from Perth?

 

[getgaff]

Why not the Governator?

I want that one ^^^ Gaffanator to the Governorator to the Hampster

 

[Lion El'Johnson]

Shooter McGovern?

I like it.

 

[Masto]

Hopefully he is more athletic than his old man.

I like it.

Yep I will 2nd it- Shooter McGovern it is.

I went to school with Andrew McGovern. Was always a solid player and was a great contributor at Claremont. He also spent time at Sydney and then the Dockers. Great to see his son following in his footsteps.

 

[grizzlym]

I can tell you a bit about him. I believe both the Dockers and the Hawks were surprised that the Eagles swooped. Both clubs were keen on him with a later rookie pick.

Obviously, he's very much a speculative/project player (but that the hell this is the rookie draft and that's what it's for).

Hawks saw him as potentially a player who could develop into a key back or forward and pinch bit in the ruck. He's got a good set of hands on him, is very clever with how he plays, and seems to relish the contest.

Now the downside: he's never done a pre-season and he's carry a bit of weight, or weight that really should be muscle!

I believe he played colts for most of the year, and acquitted himself very well in the ruck.

I'd say after you grabbed Hamp, who I reckon could turn into a very good player (people say very good things both about his athletic ability as his disposition; very nice guy), you've loaded up on another (more) speculative tall.

Personally, if we'd grabbed those two players in the draft I would have been happy. No guarantees with drafting, especially the rookie draft and talls, but they are potentially good players.

Cheers Grizz, Just suprised thats all, I mean Guys like Yarran, Rioli, Sewell, Monaco never even got selected so just a shock really but he must have done something right cause thats the same way we got Cox...

Haha....yeah, dropped myself in that one didn't I!

 

[lewigie]

Choke on that, baby!

 

[Obeanie1]

Shooter McGovern?

I like it.

Um, fella's.

I think the club might just veto any player having a nickname of shooter.

Other nicknames that are banned include:

Snorter
Ice Man
Powder Finger
etc

 

[paran]

Wow, really poor taste there Obeanie1, and major dis to Happy Gilmore... not cool.

I'll back the "Shooter" nic.

I actually played footy against his dad (yes, I know I am too showing my age) who was very skillful on either side of his body and a very good possession accumulator. His dad was a good reader of the player so if he has passed that on that will be of huge benefit.

I wouldn't worry about what weight he is carrying now because after a solid pre-season or two and a specialised weights program it will be lost pretty quickly.

Andrew was a fairly solid build too.

Sounds like Beau Wilkes.
