Post Game Participation: AFL Rd 16: Carlton vs Sydney at Metricon

[ElwoodBlues1]

A few interesting things about McGovern
His stats aren't dramatically different from his Adelaide time...he's down a bit on averages (especially this year)
At 191cm he's a player that 'plays tall' for that height. He has a good leap.
The surprising thing for me was that he's only played the 74 games.

His Adelaide time included playing in the best forward setup in the comp with Walker, Jenkins , Lynch and Eddie....IMo he didnt have to work too hard and was given Rolls Royce delivery with a very decent midfield....kicking straight was his only job.
He has come here and its a whole new ball game having to work harder with young kids as company down forward and a worn out Eddie and he cant handle it.  One kick vs a no name Swans defense...lucky his name is McGovern and he can milk his brother Jeremy's reputation because if it was Callum Moore he would be in front of a firing squad of angry Blues supporters. Sadly Moore would give you more effort.
Excuse..he is a decoy,....Solution lets hide him down in the backline...maybe he can play down back this week on Shane McAdam who we gave away for this overpaid decoy, not only has McGovern failed to deliver but McAdam looks a real talent just to rub salt into the whole deal.
I'd try and include McGovern in a deal to get Papley, Cerra or something that  resembles a footballer rather than a decoy.
