Traded Mitch McGovern [traded to Carlton in a three-way trade involving Sydney and McAdam]

[Juice0103]

If McGovern is going to cost us more than pick 12-19 I'd rather we put more effort into Setterfield, Shiel etc or take that pick (assuming it eventuates) to the draft.

McKay, Curnow, Fisher the sort of value we've picked up around that range the last couple of years.

i wouldn't Mckay curnow Mcgovern would be deadly if healthy

10-20 will get it done. He's probably worth closer to 15-18 (a late first) so a mid-first will get this over the line easily. AFC get a premium for a contracted player.

mid first is pick 9

 

[Monkey King]

Danger wasn't a FA, he was an RFA which is why he was traded otherwise we would have received a compo pick

You obviously don't follow footy too much

Err ... there are two types of free agents - restricted and unrestricted.

Here is free agency explained for you - http://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/free-agency

Seems like you shouldnt be trying to convince all of us of this...

You should be trying to convince the people in control (and i use the term “in control” loosely mind you) of the Carlton footy club..

Because it looking very likely that they are chasing mcgovern services.. and considering hes still got two years left on his contract... and will be paying alot more for him than you hope they do!..

I don't get it. If anyone should understand that a top 10 pick isn't the be all and end all it should be carlton supporters

who makes these numbers up. The 18th best 18 year old in this draft won’t be better than gov

 

[Juice0103]

Is it tru that he will announce his preferred destination today?

And how would you know?

What a ridiculous statement.

And if you’re going to approach it from that angle, why would we trade overs (involve 1) for him when Walsh or JL are likely to be a lot better than Gov? With 6 extra years of service too.

 

[arsene wenger1]

And how would you know?

Exactly...with Gov you know. He's not a lottery unlike pick 18. last season when it looked like we were losing Gov and Lever, I was always saying forget about lever and give the money to McGovern, the bloke is a rare type. If anyone thinks they can acquire a guy like this with a pick between 15-18 is seriously wrong.

Who's asking for pick 1??? did I mention pick 1?

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Why would Mcgovern want to play for Carlton? I know we’re s**t but ffs Carlton are perennial career ruiners as of late. Is it more of a vibe of nobody is that keen or what? A hawthorn would be a great landing spot for him.

 

[marty36]

And how would you know?

Are you saying mid isn't 9 out of 18 picks?

 

[pinot]

Dont want to trade with the Crows. I hope Mitch nominates someone else and continue with the development of Paddy Kerr to play third tall. He is not worth a first round pick and he is not a need.

 

[Tushay]

Not what I said. And irrelevant anyway, this deal will get done with our (likely) mid-first round compensation. Likely to be 10/11 once FA compensation is set.

 

[Andrew Birch]

Very much so, but it is the reality of the situation

I think realistically other teams would need to go through the same thing for a year or so before they also learn for themselves. It's only fair.

McGovern wants out of Adelaide big time. If they keep him they will have a toxic environment so that is not an option. They do not have an advantage at the trade table because they need to move him on. Under no circumstances should clubs with the first 5 picks be considering including them in any trade. Except maybe Freo if they get Brisbane's pick for Neale.

He’s definitely worth a first round pick.....it’s just that he prob won’t nominate Carlton anyway so you won’t need to worry

Aparently he loves the club, loves the players, loves most of the coaches. He even said to the media after the carlton game in adelaide this year that he was trying to encourage jeremy to join him at west lakes .. but has a massive issue with a couple of the administration (id put my money on Hass and Burton - and hopefully these two blokes are not gonna be around much longer.. burtons position is untenable imo)..

Rumours are because of the way his injuries and recovery methods used have been managed..

Rumours also swirling that bcrouch feels the same and that he and burton may have even come to blows over it.

All rumours of course but they come from people on BF that normally have very good intel and connections in the club..

 

[kingKerna4]

Carlton done deal

 

[BlueRenaissance]

Based on Barass70's post, who has had good mail in the past, think this is Carlton's deal for the losing.

Yep heard this too. Definitely wasn't happy about his hamstring before the Grand final last year, felt it was handled poorly.

I'm not sure our medical staff are much better.

Has Gunston mkII written all over him, only as a defender.

 

[Trent the flight Steward]

Expect him to join good mate lever at dees. After weidemanns performance tonight, expect freo to use the 1st round pick from lions for neale to go to be used to get hogan who will then give to the crows for mcgovern to use in defence.

Blues don't need fwds or backs they need mids to help cripps out

 

[footyfan000001]

How are Geelong not all over this bloke?
