Seems like you're getting very defensive tonight. If that has all you have to offer however, I think I should ignore you from now on. I mean you don't add any football discussion anyhow.

I'm just saying, we shouldn't be trying to include McGovern in the deal for anything more than a 2nd round equivalent
I am a fan of Casboult. McGovern's ceiling is seriously high, will only get better with more games & development.

McGovern played a game this year where he had 2 touches and one of them went out on the full.
At 22 years old, that suggests to me that if he was given a role in a side where he wasn't attracting the 5th best defender like he is at the crows, he would seriously struggle.

I think his ceiling is higher than his brother.
No he isn't. He's a better pack mark and has a bigger mature body to protect space and others around him. McGovern has really good hands too, is agile and quick and is a decent kick. Add to that he works hard in the F50 to apply pressure.
Mitch McGovern and Jeremy McGovern both had their debuts at 22.
When this job is done and done properly , you and your like will be at the front of the que lapping it up .
Carlton are finally being run properly by a united committed team .
Get behind them !!

Well, it's been an exhausting day based on a lot of the unknown and where we are going to go from here, genuinely hope we are able to at the very minimum have someone able to shed some credible light on what is happening or at least one deal done so we all have a clearer idea of what's going on.
I think the more that gets done the quicker the general angst will die down and we know what our future is as a club.
It's going to be scary as **** to read the boards if we are still in the dark come Wednesday.

Do you think team's actually play man on man defences these days? Here's a tip for free: McGovern would not have been manned up by the opposition's "5th best defender" in many contests this year.
He would be a valuable piece of a mobile marking forward line featuring C Curnow & Silvagni, with Harry as the big target.
Ok we won't be handing over pick 5.
As opposed to you melting about the club being down the toilet? No different.

Sorry to break it to you, but Michaelangelo Rucci makes up quotes, facts, and sometimes entire articles; outside of the attributed public statements made to everyone by McKay and Reid, nothing in that article ever happened, because he has no sources at all - these same Carlton "sources" wrote a completely contradictory story for him 4 hours prior, just as an example.
As much as people like to shit on Hutchy, Damo, Ralph, et al, they're lightyears ahead of Rucci, because they actually still have sources, even if half the time the info they're given is just smoke blowing.

Im not arguing that he wouldn't be handy, I'm arguing that he's worth a second rounder at best.
He's a forward that 'bobs up' and provides a bit of x-factor rather than the type of forward you can build around
Good luck.
I doubt any deals will be done by Wednesday.
Well that was a highly enjoyable day!
Goodnight all, look forward to doing it all again tomorrow!

Mitch turns 22 in 48 minutes or 1 hour and 18 minutes his time.
Well that supports Mitch even further then.
