Traded Mitch McGovern [traded to Carlton in a three-way trade involving Sydney and McAdam]

[Eiffel 65]

What's the point? Most Adelaide fans will got for the first option. Most Carlton supporters will go for the latter.

Allows us to consolidate 280 pages of discussion into one simple poll

With the recent media attention and online discussion on MM, you'd think he's a higher profile than LeBron James.

Interesting read though

Please, show me exactly where I did that? At least get your facts straight.

I said "certain" morons who support your club.. clearly referring to one in particular you were aware of. Not once did I ever "paint the rest of you" so give it a rest.

Whether you did or didn't. Now you know not to because people react differently.

I just found it ridiculous for you to reply '12-year old with a crystal ball' when nearly everywhere it's been all 'McGovern a mercenary because Carlton are going nowhere'.

That reply is nothing more than an insult that can encourage him to talk more nonsense. Just ignore.

Im sure something has been agreed upon in principle, but it isnt the extra $200k as spruiked by AFC spokespeople. We're not paying him the $850k youd have us believe.

So first you say nothing has been put forward, no length agreed either but now you're sure something has been agreed in principle (meaning an offer has been put forward). Well which one is it?

His manager saying he'll be on "roughly" the same money over a "3-5" year deal says to me he's being offered considerable coin, above what he's on with us which is already sizeable (upwards of $600-$650k pa).

Theres been no contract which would be a formal offering and whats been put forward is a verbal quote pending a medical. Thats not concrete by any shape or form.

I think youre confusing the timeline. We enquired as part of the Gibbs trade and spoke with his manager about a principle price. Then he resigned with the Crows. <scene missing>. He now wants out. Advises manager to see if we are still interested for the previous quote. We say yes pending due diligence. Terms to be hashed out at later date.

 

[Pendles!]

Money talks. Imagine sitting back at home with offers from probably more than a few clubs and thinking "yeah f*** yeah, I wanna play for carlton!)

Madness!

 

[Tristan34]

Think of it this way, either Adelaide sell him cheap now and cut their losses, or try to play hard ball, end up keeping him as his currency plummets even further in the future.

He’s made it known very publicly he doesn’t believe in the club or those running it, so wonder what kind of an asset he’ll be in a team game that relies on everyone buying into the message.

Tell me when that's happened?? Adelaide still had to pay for Gibbs and Fremantle still forked out for McCarthey...

 

[Red Bull]

Really hope to see Adelaide keep him like Carlton Keep Gibbs for a season .

That would mean Don Pyke lied.
He's out of adelaide full stop !!

Hi everyone,

Good to see the Mitch McGovern debate is still running strong after 280 pages.

Is it possible to put up a poll in this thread on MM's trade value.

We could include a speculative trade range between 2 x top ten picks + player to a third round pick.

Would be interesting to see who's closest to the mark.

Sounds like a great idea!

I think his overall value is between 17-23 range, if paying slight overs, 13-16 would get it done

 

[Red Bull]

Wonder if Carlton will trade some of the under performing first rounds picks they have had in the past to release value.

Well we traded a former 1st rounder in mrs hendersons boy for pick 10 which netted us the big H for the next decade.
Id love some more of that kinda action ...

 

[Red Bull]

You're right, the 17 other players on our list who were ecstatic to sign new deals this year alone says it all

Maybe those 17 blokes like being tied naked to trees and abused .
Maybe its just an adelaide thing , each to their own i guess ...

Yeah on the same wave length maybe time for Carlton to explore avenues for Weitering and SPS, clear they wont be the elite talent but will still be good players...

Those boys will be just fine.
Murphy is a former 1st rounder and about Geelongs desired age range atm , swap for your 1st this year ?

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Carlton aren’t being unreasonable, we are saying that we will take this player that he nominated us with whatvee currency we have left, can’t just pull picks out of our arse because Adelaide demands them.

So either Adelaide accept the currency that we do have available, or they don’t in which case we can’t do anything cause we don’t have the currency they are asking for

It’s that simple

He's contracted.
Carlton find a way to give AFC what they want or he stays.
That's how simple it is.

Nah we have enough slow mids already, but would take Darcy Lang back for a 3rd rd pick if thats any help

McGovern is finished at adelaide.
Don Pyke said so.
Did Don lie ?

This post is either lies or ignorance.

"We'll try and get the best we can for Mitch, and if we can't get a good enough deal, then he'll remain an Adelaide player next year."

Pyke said there were a few reasons why McGovern wanted out.

"There's a number of reasons and factors...some of those are historical, some of those are environmental. It's his personal view," he said,

"We'll continue to work with Mitch, and clearly if we can't get a deal done, we'll have to work through some of those issues."

Admittedly, Pyke has had issues with McGovern, ever since Mitch decided he liked KFC more than sports. But if we don't get what we want, we'll get him back into preseason training and get things sorted out.

True. You either have the money to pay the price, or you don't.

The price doesn't change, just because you plead povvo.

Doesn’t mean this turns into a CFC charity event. This is a stock standard trade, nothing more nothing less

Adelaide and Riccuitto drew the line in the sand last year with Cameron and said happy for him to go home if the trade is what they want if not he stays Gov will be the same, they got pick 12 for CC but Gov is probably worth more or they may accept the same

Balls in carlton's court or he stays

This has been said infinitum .....Carlton supporters simply say this is a line all clubs trot out ....they're looking at trades as if all situations, all years, all clubs are equal in the trading process .....this is not the case, and I'll repeat ..you have to read the mood & circumstances of the trading club
