Mitch McGovern (please read OP)

[Elite Crow]

MOD NOTICE
The annual Crows-Blues Posters Jamboree is on again.

At this stage the thread is open to all but we will be taking a hard line on trolling and comments that add little to discussion.

All McGovern-related discussion to happen in this thread. Don't try to sneak around bans by discussing the trade in other threads.



So it doesn’t get caught up in other discussions, I think we need to have a dedicated thread as I believe shits about to get real.​

Sam McLure again this morning saying this will be Govs last game.

Dittmar asked Roo about it, he hardly sounded convincing, basically he’s contracted but:

“Mitch might approach us saying he wants to leave, the club might be happy for him to go, it happens, it happened last year with Cameron” he then went on to say he will be a star I believe trying to build up trade value.

Also his manger was in town yesterday.

Based on that I reckon he’s gone and we will be using him to get a low pick.

 

[BunjiMac]

As long as we extract maximum value in ok.

 

[Smoooothy]

unless a monster deal comes up, hold him to his contract

if we can use him to leverage a pick deal that gets us lukosious and rankine (sorry if I spelt them wrong), then we'd be silly not to look at that

 

[cammo6556]

Assumption he's going to Carlton so we can have a crack at Luko? Could we not deal to Freo and try to snare Rankine, Rozee and Hately in the same draft?

 

[1991firstgamer]

It shows poor character on McGovern's part and while his talent is elite for the former I would let him go and for the latter I will get blood at the trade table
I don't blame the club for this one

I reckon it’s just more Manure on the ever growing pile that flows from that clown.

However if there is truth to it.

Pick 1 if it’s Carlton.
Nothing less.


If it’s Freo, then it’s 2x1st picks. Nothing less.

Roo did take the opportunity to have a jab at McLure, he was wrong about Sloane and Betts, but he does get some right.

Roo had the chance to smash it on the head, he didn’t.

 

[BunjiMac]

Surprises me Gov is looking to go west?

Surely Freo will have a crack if he's available.

I prefer more picks if we had a choice.

One has to wonder how much influence lack of finals this year had.

Maybe that's how we got him to sign back on, with the idea of multiple premiership tilts over the next few years which he now doesn't see as likely?

 

[FR0GGY]

Well probably trade him and not get Luko

 

[mattymac]

SOS is probably salty about Gibbs. Could see him being the type to do something silly to get 'revenge' or save face or whatever. You take one of mine, I take one of yours.

Otherwise it makes zero sense for Gov.

Just have to make sure we extract maximum value

So did Don on SEN https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=267503 1 hour 20 onwards is his interview which he says the standard well I'm not aware of that blah blah but we will talk post season etc etc

well, that knocks out Carlton, St Kilda, and Freo then

 

[Johnny Rutten]

You may be right, but if we Ditch the Mitch, Lukosius becomes a distinct possibility, and Rankine becomes a near certainty.

 

[Johnny Rutten]

The smokies in this, as always, are Sydney and Hawthorn. They are renowned for pulling trade surprises.

 

[jbanger]

Say Carlton do get the pp straight after their 1st but can only use on “mature” player. Bang. Seeya Gov (under the knowledge that they leave Luko for us). Is this possible?

This is what I was going to post. Definitely what SOS would do.

That pick 2 thing will not happen. 100%

Yeah but all the talk is him going to Carlton.

They might get a priority pick, but it will be at the end of the first round - pick 19 at this stage.

 

[glengowan]

If McGovern wants to leave - surely it is West Coast who he’d head to? They could use what they get for Gaff to get McGovern. If it’s North Melbourne Gaff is going to - they’d have to satisfy. If it was St Kilda - that looks a bit more straight forward.

Gaff to St Kilda
McGovern to West Coast
Pick 4 to Adelaide

 

[Gets!]

To do what we want in the draft we need to be bold.

If McGovern could get on the park for a full year then I might be more upset...

 

[FAITH]

ive heard ages ago we want to trade him and he wants to go, so simple solution.
