We tend to bomb the ball long to a pack which suits Casboult and Harry but McGovern prefers the ball on the lead or a one on one where he has the sit type arrangement.

So I don't really know for sure but it seems like it's more than enough justification for me to question why the hate.
I think some of the creeps in the social and media pages have got onto McGovern as a whipping boy with Carlton fans because many just didn't want him in the first place, and so the creeps are feeding the ongoing rage! If our club follows the fan rage the same creeps will all line up to sign McGovern up for their own club, with Carlton paying a portion of the wage for their generous offer to offload the spud of course!
2020 per game McGovern averages more goals a game than Martin, and a large chunk of Martin's came in Rnd 1!
He played at the Crows when they were very much a factory up forward with Walker, Jenkins, Eddie and Lynch all kicking bags and helping each other out and with us there is less cohesion and you are on your own a bit more trying to get a kick.
Our midfield doesnt have the Pendlebury, Whitfield, Shuey, Kelly, Martin etc Rolls Royce delivery service and McGovern will need to be Fev like and exert himself a bit more to get a kick....his one plus is being a good kick/converter.
