Mitch McGovern (please read OP)

[Morning_Fog]

I get all of that. Geez he requested a trade pretty quick didnt he? Why couldnt he have waited until around trade week. Can get out of there quick enough by the looks.

Maybe because we had our exit interviews that day. He told the club during him exit interview.

You know, when you would expect most people to announce such intent.

Have they? Im hearing a lot less than that. 3 years and incentive based.

'Lot' less?

 

[Navara79]

Because he had an exit interview and is now on holiday

That’s how these things work

Not really. Gibbs didnt request a trade first time around. Your club did it for him.

What figures have you been hearing?

Genuinely interested. I think he is on $500k ish on our end.

My ass he isn't leaving for significantly more than that.

 

[Scorpus]

Since Carlton supporters don't get it:

It doesn't matter if McGovern is unhappy and badly wants out. He signed this thing called a "contract", not sure if you've heard of them... but basically it means he can't just up and leave no matter how sad he is. No actually he only leaves if we let him and get decent compensation.

Not a hard concept but Carlton supporters seem more stupid than the average so sometimes you have to spell these things out

Yeah ok.

He went on holiday with Tex

That's what happens when another club offers to make him one of their highest paid players.

Money talks.

Not a difficult concept to grasp.

For him, it obviously is.

Think some Carlton supporters are going to be very disillusioned come trade week.

No priority pick, no Shiel and no Gov and at the end of the next year, a new coach and a new list manager.

Not surprisingly though, a new rebuild will be announced

 

[Crowked]

Please stop with this pick 12 shit. There will never be mid round PPs. The precedent has been set at end of first round and with Brisbane now on the gravy train too, it is guaranteed.

Gov is already on $550K pa, so there is no chance he is giving up winning & missing finals for less than $700K pa...

They could have a timber frame house with their amount of wooden spoons.

except gibbs then came out and said publicly that he is more than happy to stay at carlton for another year lets just see if MM says the same if a trade doesnt happen

As any contracted player who’s facing the prospect of no trade would

 

[Sanders]

Here's a link for those wanting to refresh their memory regarding the failed Andrew Walker trade:

https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/s...b87fb90df?sv=d23b03abc1f1e2f9898aee91fb1588cf

"The Blues agreed to trade him but failed to reach sufficient terms with Adelaide, Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs during trade week."

Went on to be a star for Carlton afterwards

 

[Mego Red]

I thought I remember you saying you knew CM and it wasn’t him?

He said he wasn't, and I still don't believe him. ;-)

 

[Mego Red]

Carlton cared about Gibbs, we valued him worth two first round draft picks. In 2016 you did not want to give them, but in 2017 you did. Gibbs publicly stated he was happy to stay, but preferred to go home; in the end he got his wish.

We gave you ten, and pick upgrades.

You denied trading Gibbs on compassionate grounds, because SOS would rather win a trade than support his players.

It speaks volumes on the soulless nature of your club. Gibbs was desperate to unite his family and have their support, but you used his professionalism against him.

 

[Sanders]

Dont be ridiculous.
Pick 12 and a swap of 2nd rounders.

Enjoy not having Mitch then. You should be ecstatic that someone good wants to come to you, not being unrealistic with fantasy trades

Pick 12 isn’t nearly enough on its own let alone getting something back

 

[Sanders]

Charlie is a much better player than McGovern

Idiot

 

[Sanders]

You spelt “imagined” wrong

 

[Mego Red]

SOS will walk away if need be, he has done it before to Adelaide.

Let it be known very clearly, Carlton Football Club are not desperate to trade for Mitch McGovern. Rather it is McGovern himself who is wanting out of the Adelaide Football Club.

Bull.



Shit.

But they will still have SoS . Good times ahead

 

[Mego Red]

Good luck getting more than that off anyone else

Then.

We'll.

Keep.

Him.
