Seems like a lot to pay for a decoy? ?

One thing McGovern is good at is blocking for his teammates. Its one reason why him being a decoy is brought up, and i've brought it up before personally.
I don't think its a permanent role, but he has played it in parts for sure.

We paid money to get him, we'll pay a lot less to keep him. We paid less for free agent Jack Martin, and even he is heavily front loaded. It all spells war chest to me.

teague and coaches should be really concerned / 7 goals start to a young side missing 4 stars . If he kicks straight from that free we lose .

A few things.
We seem to fall over a lot.
Setters was annoying to watch - no hard attack - but turned it up in the last.
Weiters is so solid, I just love this bloke. He is a a true leader.
Very happy for Cripps when he got that goal, great kick.

When Charlie and Jack are back where does McGovern the decoy fit in..?
Kennedy deserves a game ahead of McGovern, his forward work is under rated. The Gov is surplus and when you look at McAdam who we gave up from the Crows in terms of talent I know who I would rather have.

I just got an email from Crippa and Doc. Among other things, they wrote;
“We’ve been in every game, we now expect to win every game and know our best is good enough to mix it with anyone in the competition.”
I think they are right, provided we don’t give opposition teams a start, sort out our kicks inside 50 and improve our goal kicking accuracy.
It was a good win but it would have been a travesty if we had lost. It goes a little way towards making up for the last two losses.
Plowman was outstanding but it was our defensive pressure all over the ground that enabled him to play as he did. Good signs indeed
