I think he will be off to the blues or freo for a very large sum of money.

    Can see why the Crows must be a lovely place to be.....or not!

     

    "In June Fairfax Media reported that McGovern had sought to move club's during last year's trade period despite agreeing to a three-year contract extension in late August, because he felt the Crows had short-changed him in the deal.

     

    It’s believed McGovern had agreed to the Adelaide deal because the club said it had no more room in its salary cap.

    The Crows then signed Bryce Gibbs from Carlton in a deal worth more per season than McGovern."

    And so it begins...

    Thankfully, we can look forward to the finals beginning after the bye.

    Walk out on Adelaide, sign up with Carlton.  Doesn't seem like a step up to me.  The bloke looks alright as a third tall but he'll get more attention at the Visy Blues.  They must be throwing some large coin at him.

    Same reason lever left, got offered way unders 

    But he’s signed until 2020, I’d suggest there’s more to it.

    Nope, slyly handing it to him in a brown paper bag.

    Averages ten touches and a goal. Probably worth a second rounder. 

    Watch Carlton panic and cough up a first rounder for him.  I can't wait.

    I was going to edit my post with pretty much the same comment. It will happen.

    There's talk of their priority pick if it's a mid first rounder

    Does that mean Crows will have 3 x first round picks in a draft allegedly strong in the first round?

    I think that's right, although our pick won't be that high.  After having a few players jump ship they are desperate to get into the Top 3 to nab one of the gun South Australian players so they might throw two of them up to get further up the draft.  

    The word is Carlton might cough up their first pick for McGovern and Pick 7, but I'd be very, very surprised if they did that.  They aren't that stupid... are they?

  • Quote

    With two years left on his contract, Adelaide will want a 1st and 2nd round pick for him. (Only slightly tongue in cheek ?)

    Carlton are after mids, I can't see them throwing away a 1st round pick for him. Unless they get a priority pick at the end of 1st round, trade that for McGovern and a 2nd round pick?

  • Quote

    Really is a seller’s market. I don’t see McGovern holding down a no.1 keep post up forward so if they cashed in on some picks they would be laughing.

    Um . . . short answer is 'yes'.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
