Ablett does it, nothing to see here. Kennedy dies it, condemnation. Double standards much?
Biggest BSfests of all time - big company IT projects - SAP, crystal etc. Always over budget, late, and fail to deliver. Best way to burn money. "it's gonna be grrrrrreat". "it'll be fixed in the next update". Yeah...nah... Next.
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

There is also the pay packet. McGovern cost us a lot versus Kennedy on a lot less coin. Perhaps there was a feeling that we have to persevere because we have invested so much already we just have to make it work. It would be seen as a failure for the club if we could not get something back on the investment.
It is a bit like top draft picks, they always get more opportunities than later picks because you feel you have paid so much for them. I wonder if a guy drafted at pick 83 gets anywhere near the same love as someone in the top 10.

McGovern was supposed to be playing alongside Charlie and Harry, how often has that happened? The other two have missed a lot of footy.

We need predictability and consistency with our players.
Guys like McKay, Charlie C and McGovern are so often injured it's quite ridiculous. De Koning has proven to be a bit injury prone also. Marchbank is another. We have been fortunate with Weitering though.

McGovern over the last 4 seasons has averaged 13 games a season.....so you get a bit over half a season, and so far the bit we have got has been well short of satisfactory. Both he and Marchbank need plenty of games in the magoos to show they can stand up physically and deliver the standard of football expected on a consistent basis.
Jack Silvagni deserves first crack in that 3rd tall forward role and McGovern needs to win it back with form, fitness and not a free pass because he is on a truckload of money and it looks embarrassing for the club and his mate the coach if he plays reserves footy.

One of those seasons where Marchbank played double digit games, he really showed he can play, and was building up some good form. Shame about those injuries.

While I like the sentiment of earning your spot, I can't see us entering a game without either McGovern and/or Casboult, especially while Harry remains so fragile. Perhaps that does of reality is why SOS was so reserved as a spectator.
