Mitch McGovern 2: As The Worm Turns (read the OP)

[ad victoriam]

I wouldn't completely blame injuries
we lost games to the like of Fremantle when we had the stronger side on paper, we lost to Melbourne at home after playing a putrid 3rd qtr of footy, not to mention lost to Port where I would argue that we put to many numbers behind the ball which ultimately cost us the game

Sloane, B Crouch, Smith, McGovern and Knight, Playing in those games would have won min of 2 of them.

 

[GROTTO]

Lever going didn't cost us at all, as Doedee (luckily) matched his output, and will likely be better in the future. Plus he didn't do his ACL.
Cameron going has allowed us to play Gooch, who improved rapidly but still hasn't gotten up to Cameron levels. CC also missed half the season at Brisbane through injury
However neither of those guys leaving had much to do with us missing finals. Injuries, fitness, and to a lesser extent, player unrest due to CM are the reason.

In addition we may have dodged a bullet with Lever and got overs for a player whose longevity in the game may come into question.

Two ACL injuries already and yet hasnt hit his prime yet.

maybe
but not the sole reason IMO

Hmmm... sure Rory. Shades of the schoolyard "I've got a girlfriend but she goes to different school" lie

I thought Brodie Smith was Rory's girlfriend?

 

[Samcro24]

Nope. Heard them interviewed at the brownlow. They said it works for them.
He has done very well for himself from what I have seen

So jealous.

I wish my missus would move interstate.

Looks like it is going to be our earliest second plus McAdam

Nice simple, an uncontroversial trade

There is simply no way we will agree to that trade, for any reason

Smithers was spending too much time in recovery and so Rory went out on the sly

It’s one of my favourite pastimes

Sudoku for footy tragics?

Big thank you to those who do these scenarios. I have neither the knowledge nor the motivation, but I enjoy - and learn from - reading them.

Mattners work at sturt perfect for Burton's role

Give it one or two years

Wrong path. Mattner is setting up more as a potential AFL coach in 5 years then a GM in 2. They could be linked though.

The soapy guy from your board? I’ve seen some of his trade suggestions. They are hilarious

I think I saw Sheil, Setterfield, Scully and GWS 2018 second for your 2019 first

Nah it's scary over there. Thanks anyway. Have a look back through some of the things your "reliable sources" have said...

It’s from a poster on your board. Not a source, nor reliable.

If you had any sense you would have written off his credibility before now. Or if you're still a kool-aid drinker you can wait and completely write off his credibility once the trade period ends.

If it's in the Bluemour thread, it has a 99.9% chance of being wrong.

Are we sure there's a fallout, if he's still training at the clubs facilities ?

Reid also intimated that he still enjoys a good relationship with Mitch. Coupled with him going to the BnF and still training at the club - it's not that big a stretch to imagine that he could still be with us next year if terms can't be met (despite his manager's best endeavors to burn all bridges).

I'm sure a trade will happen, but doesn't sound like it's the super toxic relationship that some commentators and opposition supporters would have us believe.

 

[Pugsley]

Cupboard.
