Both clubs would be stupid to get into a bidding war with each other. Mcgoverns good but he still won't solve freo's forwardline problems as he is a third tall like Mccarthy and kersten. If bid hard for him we will lose a pick that we could potentially use on finding and developing a kennedy replacement (good draft for KPP's) or finding another mid that they need. I think the we personally know that we got bigger issues to fix than go all out for a talented medium tall
Personally id be happy for freo to over reach for him. In that way we can go for JJ from the dogs and address our issue with foot speed.
You want midfielders and players with speed?

Boy have you come to the right place: we've got one with 170+ games you can have!

I don't dispute that. No offence but if Gov has a run at it he gets altitude sickness.
Tex and JJ can't jump like Gov, simple as that.
Good player but you take mitch out of the best forward line in the comp and he will get triple teamed or more. He wouldn't be efficient in Freo's forward line.

The only reason Gov is leaving is to go home, no one is offering him overs, its all up to him wanting to go home or not, no different to how Danger was
if gov is open to go to either club and both offering a similair deal, then what crows want for him will have a huge bearing. Thats what i meant by overs as well.

Yeah maybe, maybe not. He only kicked 32 though.
I'm talking about his contested marks.
Tex and JJ can't take those. He can, tex needs the perfect roost and JJ is soft. JJ could and hope he changes.

We won back to back flags with the majority of the team from SA, West Coast won their flags with mainly West Aussies playing. There's nothing wrong with picking our best kids, after all we are a footy state and our kids are pretty bloody good.
Ok so then it's goodbye to Rory Sloane and any future Sloane . What absolute rubbish . We keep way more then we lose !

If tex or jenkins had to take the marks Gov had they would be well under.
They do get some contact but tex and JJ has maybe one huge mark every 3-4 weeks

Gov does it every game.
Maybe they have better positioning then. You can't blame Tex and Jenkins for getting easier marks due to them getting away from their opponents.

True.
If you had a hospital ball coming in who would you rather out of Tex, JJ and Gov?
Eddie always gets pretty high too. :)
