His family moved from Brisbane to Perth so he could play footy. He moved in with Betts for the first 12 months in Adelaide and goes round there at least 2 nights a week for dinner. I'd be very surprised if he went anywhere.
I thought his family moved from Qld to the Pilbara to work in the mines. He then got conned into playing for the local footy team and showed such talent that a WAFL club brought him down to Perth to play. His family are still in the Pilbara.

Pretty sure they moved across for his footy? May have got jobs in the Pilbara. His Sports Master at Marist at the time teed it up.

Both Mitch and Lever to stay....never in doubt. Gibbs likely to be added as we go for back to back flags.................
My understanding that he was playing rugby in Qld. Only switched to footy after moving to WA since rugby wasn't really an option there.

In his last year at Marist, his Sports Master asked him to try out for AFL (as he could see he had "something"). He loved it, he was crazy good at it so my understanding is that the SM approached the Club in WA (maybe the folks were already moving?). He had played for a season at Marist.
not that it really means that much, but at my last house I lived with two guys who grew up in Albany - They always bristled when I or someone else erroneously said they were from Perth
Maybe I should mention that especially for Indigenous people, home is where the tribe is from, not where they moved to. That might suggest another place other than WA.
lol I always love this type of counter argument when it comes to 'homesick players' ,albanys 4 and half hrs away from perth...., its not like its in another state. Plus your assuming he wants to come 'home' but only live in north albany??.
And by family you mean parents? .They are from north albany but have a residence in perth.im pretty sure he doesn't want to live with mum and dad anymore
Anyways i as much as id love gov jr at freo , I think he ll stay in Adelaide, where hopefully he and the club can get a flag
Wrong McGovern?
Ah well they had the wrong picture then.

Not sure how they would know. That said I'm enrolled in Uni in a different state, didn't have to move.
I wasn't aware he could enrol so early.

Question then should become, do we start paying our interstate players well overs and rely on loyalty from the SA players ??
No money in the world would have kept Danger though, hence why he wanted a trade

they keep players they can't wait to shop around 3 years before their contracts run out.
