I don't get this knocking McGovern thing. There is no way in the world that if we had have picked him up a few years ago when we could have and should have we wouldn't want to be keeping him now.
He's the best in the business at what he does, plus he's more than capable of going forward and kicking goals and pinch hitting in the ruck.
To say that he only plays well against sides that bomb the ball in doesn't cut it either for me. I can't think of too many backman that look that good when a side delivers the ball precisely and accurately to their forwards. Plus the slime have only lost four? games this year so don't think he could have played that badly that often.
I also personally don't like the fat boy type slurs. He doesn't look like the normal kpi, skin fold type AFL player but there's not a club in the AFL that wouldn't want him in their side, including us.
The problem is that while I agree that we wouldn't want to pay him that much now, good luck to him and as I said I wish we had have got him earlier when people even on here were talking about his marking ability at Claremont.
