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?

    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: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
