Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Reporter Tom Browne reports the Saints are in for the Mc Govern brothers... over a million a year for Jeremy and an early pick for Mitch.
If this was the case we get a champion tall and another quality tall....
There would need to be a trade out for other talls on our list if we bring the brothers in I would think as we need outside speed and class in the mid field.

Do they come as a set or can you choose just one?

That would be the only pick the crows would be interested in.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
we have talls!!!!!
we need bailey smith and izzy rankine! (don't see what all the fuss is about over walsh???)
spend (if we must) any muppet-ridiculous money on the likes of a kelly or sheil or dal santo cousin.
picture it................................
to our current side, add one (hell, why not, make that 2) of those 3, plus smith and rankine, then add freeman, long, 2nd year coffield, phillips, and acres..........
we're looking deadly!
since we're trading out hickey plus lazar's man to get that rankine pick (and expecting change back - billy's presence is worth it i've read), then,
depending on how much more time marshall and pierce need,
we possibly will also need a stop gap ruckman to replace billy's (just a) presence out on the ground.
(lazar should be hired by the club to advise on whom should we target. actually, just a thought. lazar, how's your knee these days mate...........?

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Seems to me like the one thing we don’t need is more talks, unless it’s an quality ruckman.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
So Jeremy is a free agent and will cost us nothing except for salary cap space
So for Mitch - our first round pick (3 - 5) for Adelaide's first pick (9 - 12) + Mitch
It could give Adelide the chance to nab Lukosious or Rankine though not guaranteed

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Why do we need Mitch? Sounds like overkill to me.
Surely we’re not that stupid.
McGovern, Gaff and pick 3 is what we need.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Please no..Please. we don't need another defender. Sam Walsh or rankine. Sam Walsh just won the u18 medal for best player in a losing team.
Great decision maker and gets so much of the ball and always seems to have time. Rankine has the ability to hit the score board and change games. I'd be happy with either

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
When are these muppets going to realise that all the great teams have GUN midfields?
It’s a friggin modern day midfield game ffs
So we load up on talks and overlook any hope of actually getting a jet mid?
We are stuffed

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Didn't we just beat Melbourne's gun midfield ![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)
Maybe we are looking at further improving our mid set up thru other FAs and trades
Last time I checked we aren't restricted to only selecting one FA or trading for one player
Also plenty of mid talent in this draft not just at the pointy end
Jez McGov would absolutely strengthen our backline and Mitch would add absolute x-factor to our forwardline - bye bye Weller/Newnes and Brown
Trading out Pick 4 or 5 to Adelaide and receiving Mitch and one of their 1st Round Draft picks back (currently 8 & 15) so say 15 could give us a Rozee or a Collier Dawkins - both are talented with a high ceiling
Glad that we looking at all options anyway

We are also not after “nice” mids later in the draft we need elite potential and Walsh/Rankine are in that class
Do we need BOTH McGov?

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
You mean they don't want our multiple 4th round picks after Trout traded away an early second round 2018 super draft for a late second round pick in 2017 and then threw in a couple of early 2017 fourth rounders to boot.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
That'd be swell but...We are getting nobody. If we couldn't get anyone last year when we had a "war chest" and top draft picks to trade and just missed finals as a team on the rise...why the f@ck would anyone come now? Is it for Richo? He's quite lovely they say. Or is it the amazing youth so well developed teams shudder at the mention of our name or the incredible management led by a guy booted out of the AFL HQ for lack of decency and character, someone not to be trusted? Notice he didnt get a job anywhere else?
Yes we will draw them all....Sloane ▪ done, Cameron - he's already bought a house in Morrabbin, àla McGoverns? - they're naming future children after our team greats....yep, we are in the driver's seat.
We need to be realistic, dig hard through the scraps of the draft and nod undrafted players for gems - because they're there! Look for undeveloped players that cost little and take chance. Like Freeman, I've never been angry about taking him. Great recruiting. But wasting #1 on Paddy or Petracca when it could have brought us 2 or more picks or players? Foolish absolutely stupid.
If we get pick 2-5 we gave gotta use it to trade for some mids if we can get 2 players or pick for our top 5 - that's recruiting.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Interesting. Maybe keep this year’s first round pick for an A grade midfielder and trade away next year’s. Bruce as the steak knifes or something.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Hate the idea of paying massive money to McGovern. You could almost argue that what he does, Carlisle does better. Plus we have such a massive backlog of bigs.
Instead of paying a million to McGovern, why don’t we try Bruce in that role or give Austin more game time?!
We need to use big money to attract two things
A) A midfielder
B) A leader
If you can get someone that is both, great. But people like Josh Kelly are amazing players but don’t seem like the Luke Hodge, Nick Riewoldt, Joel Selwood type leaders... which is something we desperately need.

Re: Channel 7 reports we are in for McGovern brothers
Hoping this is a ploy by the management of both players to drive up their price and on our end potentially shake Sloane and Gaff loose. We already have a similar player to Jeremy in Carlisle and the last thing we need is another third forward.
