McGovern has given us nothing and got a healthy initial contract.
Been a recruiting fail....

If he was paid less, would it have been good recruiting?

If we paid him half what he got would it have been good recruiting?

If we paid him half what he got and lost the other half because we 'had to use it or lose it' is that good recruiting?
If he paid us to play it would still be poor recruiting...

Never the jellyfish and no flip flopping from EB 🤣
I think this year was Govs worst for us.
When he’s confident he’s fairly good or maybe he’s confident when he’s fairly good, dunno but he wasn’t this year.
He attacks, so I expect an error or two.
I guess if he’s fringe 22 we could do a lot worse.
Let’s go BIG !

Back to Lewis young, he was given the option to move and decided he would rather tough it put with us. 

On the back of the last 12 months that lifts him up a few notches especially compared to other more capable players.

Hes our bastard.

Yes Thry, that’s the point I was trying to make.

Even if Lewis just provides depth, it’s good to have blokes who just try their best to do what’s asked of them, even if that best leaves a bit to be desired.

Gov’s in the same boat but isn’t as durable as Young.  It was astute list management to bring him on board, particularly since the claims about his contract value are rubbery.  If he’s going to be let go, as seems likely, it will be because we’ve got a better replacement lined up.

Or was it there was no interest in him and seeing out his contract was his only option. Never understood how his form tapered after a very good first year where he was very safe with the ball and ultra reliable..

you can thank weitering for that.  He was not very forgiving of young, and placed him under pressure to perform.  Ruined his confidence.

Maybe he didnt have options maybe he did.  Either way he elected to take the route of stay at Carlton.  Maybe he saw the storm coming and said percentages say im better off staying.  Who knows.
