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

[Bicks]

 

[FAITH]

As much I am disappoint, it does seem a not so dissimilar bounty to what we got for danger

You were talking out of your behind the past 2 weeks, now you've been hit by reality.

Whats the bet nothing is ever said about Gov, i get the feeling moving Gov on was a mutual decision.

 

[Sanders]

We are all disappointed not to have Mitch fit firing and happy with us

Even me Sanders

New day, sun is still up. Let’s move on

 

[Sanders]

Left by mutual agreement I heard.

I’ve let a few senior staff go by “mutual agreement”

Never seen any mutuality in mutual agreement though

Of all the Clubs he could go to where it wont bite us in the arse come finals, Carlton is the perfect place.

Aside from Freo, GC and Saints, any other Club I could see him hurting us when he plays us.

If it was on pure talent he would have gone a fair bit higher

There were many question marks over his character and in some ways he has proven those questions correct . He lives on the edge off field

He missed interviews and even a combine at one stage . Just didn’t turn up and his off field stuff is legendary

He might have missed interviews and combines, but I bet he didn't miss too many Maccas or Hungry Jack's in his time.

He is a brilliant player capable of bursts of sheer magic that can win games.

As you correctly said, based on pure talent he would have been a very high draft pick.

 

[Sanders]

God you look at commerce like a public servant.

Post of the week

 

[hey shorty]

That was a shit deal for us. No doubt about it unless McAdam turns into a gun, which is not probable by any means. I'd be happy if McGovern was uncontracted, but he wasn't and we paid overs for Gibbs for that reason. Bottom line is we were bent over to get Gibbs and then got bent over for Carlton to take McGovern. Disappointing trade from the AFC unless McAdam works out to be a gun player, which doesn't happen very often with mature age recruits. Of course we all remember the one's that do, but the hit rate isn't that great. Tim Kelly's happen once every ten years.

There was about 4 mature age picks in this years AA team alone.

 

[Sanders]

I don’t care what mcadams rating is. We’ll never know. If he performs like Liam Ryan - yee hah

But I can’t get past the comment in the wa press back in 2015 that called him a “chance to get drafted” now this was after his good combine showing and pre injury. So presumably him at his best

How does a fit and healthy young bloke go from chance to be drafted to 3 years later being 10-15 (per Reid) on a handful of SANFL games?

Doesn’t make sense. If we’re backing his attributes and talent, he had those same ones when he was an outside shot at being picked up

 

[Sanders]

Anyone have any idea how quickly Reid folded?

Like an amphetamine dosed origami swan

 

[ManInTheArena]

Did you hear Justin Reid on 5aa tonight?

He was asked that very question and his answer was that Adelaide believed that McAdam would have gone somewhere between 15 and 20 in the draft.

On that basis they have valued McAdam as a pick 20.

Time will tell if you are a better judge of a player than the AFC - or not.

I'm obviously not so assuming Reid wasn't exaggerating I'll change my mind on that deal.

 

[Sanders]

I keep reading Saunders as Sanders and it freaks me out a little.

Only a little?

Do you really think Reid would do that?

Just go on the radio and tell lies?

Hardly an unbiased evaluation

If that really is true and we hear other recruiters back it up in the coming weeks, then it does spin how I view the trade on its head.

So is it now on Reid or Hamish as to whether McAdam lives up to the expectations of a 15-20 pick?

 

[NTRabbit]

You don't? The club has spent more time lying in the media than any other activity this season.

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

They way the Eagles played last year reminded me so much of the Crows in 2017.

Kennedy/Darling - Tex/JJ

Rioli/Ryan - Betts/Cameron

Spot the duo's who stood up when it mattered!

I’m worried the wheel will turn at some point

Cripps Setterfield Fisher Dow SPS is a good mix

Weitering Marchbank Plowman

Curnow McKay Gov forward

It’s on its way to improving but still need more

FFS. I know. I know......

This is all well and good but Adelaide have a long history now of rating players high on their list post event in order to give off good PR to members.

Bit like how we rubbished them and their silly claims about Doedee? Or Danger over Ebert?

Not that it will mater but we have a good use for Kamikaze Douglas.

 

[douglyzia]

Wonder if Sidebottom would still be at the club if we picked him instead of Dangerfield.
