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

[DrZeit]

Starting tomorrow... Operation Ditch Mitch.
Blues and Crows brothers and sisters, put your pitchforks down... let's be friends.

Funny what a couple years of mutual distrust and anger between fans and administrators will do. Thought it would be over when Gibbs went, but one year later here we are with the Govmeister Saga.

I liked the Crows teams of the 2000s, watching Ricciuto, McLeod, Goodwin and Bickley go to work, and seeing Burton take a hanger or too while Hart and Smart controlled the backline. The team was good, but non-threatening to Carlton, mired in the bottom rungs as we were. We still had some great moments playing you guys though.



Fev's best ever goal in my mind.

Back on topic, here's hoping that the McGovern trade gets sorted early. I don't want it to drag on till the end of the trade period and adversely affect our other movements.

 

[Foucault1989]

So it begins....this one will drag out right to the end. Adelaide and Carlton fans need to go on some kind of post trade period retreat together

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I keep telling people Reid is a tightass. If he doesn't like what's being offered, he will drag this out to the very end. He has form here. It's what he did with Cameron who was also unhappy at Adelaide. If it were still David Noble in charge of list management, he'd probably accept a packet of chips just to get the trade done quickly.

I hear SOS gets on well with Reid, and its good to hear SOS acknowledges Govs contract because we know what SOS thinks of contracted players

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

SOS is drawing in Reidy like Stix did with Bone and Freddy.

 

[Gw2_James]

Might be done sooner then what we expected?

Then we will find out which camp of supporters is right and wrong about the possible trade scenarios

Mate who gives a crap. All i care about is my team picking up players to improve. If we pay overs, so be it, not going to kick up a stink about it.

You really do get around.

As long as he doesnt bother our board he can go wherever he likes

That bad hey

You really need to get with the times and understand social media, in particular the anonymous type, I know its difficult to work out but its quite amusing

Carn Marty its only social media dont get too upset ok

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Dont mind if a deal gets done quickly as long as it's a fair trade. Dragging it out isn't really ideal for either club.

Im never upset always laughing ask elite

I agree, but it seems it might get done much later in the trade period. Seems to hinge on what other players both clubs are chasing, especially us

Yeah Reid has mentioned they are waiting on Carlton to do other deals as Gov isn't their number one priority.

 

[Arr0w]

Think most clubs will soon become aware what their "get list" will look like by COB tomorrow, with some smaller deals possibly being done the next couple of days, like the McCarthy deal

 

[Bearded Clam]

So both SOS and Reid have now spoken on radio this morning...

And given the supporters of both clubs sweet FA in information in regards to this Gov deal..

Geez, surely they could throw us bf ranters a bone after the weeks of debate on this subject!.. but nup, nothing.

 

[Blues_Man]

I think this deal will get done sooner than later ..as both clubs have other deals pending

Well at least we know Reid is open to taking the mature picks into consideration...that's not nothing.

I daresay he'll still require a 2nd rounder on top of it, or at least a 2nd rounder swap.

 

[Juddernaut08]

I can see SOS's mind and whiteboard working to show Reid the contingencies:

If we miss out on Setterfield: you get 2 second rounders

If we get him: you get a mature and a 2nd

Something like that. That's the main reason for the delay methinks. I honestly would love to get both McGovern and McAdam.

 

[Juddernaut08]

Yeah Reid has mentioned they are waiting on Carlton to do other deals as Gov isn't their number one priority.

I reckon SOS and Reid have developed a secret friendship over the last 2 years and so just like hanging out as long as possible at trade week before they have to depart to their different states.

So petty.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I doubt any of the Carlton fans mentioning McAdam have even seen him play outside of a highlight reel.
