As I posted I think carton will win plenty of games this year
They have an easy draw
More referring to teams like the dogs, Dees, lions and giants who I think will play finals. Scaling for winning teams is normally how it works so basing my theory around that
Doesn’t really matter when it comes to defenders being in good teams as they normally see more of the footy (hall, Lloyd, Sicily etc)

👍🏻
Think he can be a similar pick to Daniher
Not saying he’ll average 80+ and play 22 games but like you say all it takes is a couple of spike games and unlike Daniher who relies a bit more on goals I see curnow having games where he can get 20+ and kick a few goals where he’ll get the 100+ that Daniher only did 4 times. Plus he’s exciting too watch which I always find fun with players in my team. The odds of winning this game are what 1/180,000? So rather then whinge when guys like Bont (get kotd) just start them and enjoy watching footy for supercoach and for the love of the game!
At least that’s what I’m doing with my premos haha
Watching games and saying crap I wish I had Neale/titch or Gawn just start them and you won’t hate watching footy. Maybe I’m crazy but that’s what I’m doing

Mitch McGovern 27yo $256,000 FWD
At that price he is very tempting to select playing an intercept across half-back this year. "..........His ball use and speed were a feature as he rebounded from defence on multiple occasions to set up counter-attacking opportunities.........".
I looked further and found that he hasn't played a full season in the last 5 years, so I looked further:
Friday, 28 November 2014
Adelaide select Mitch McGovern from Claremont with pick No.43 in the 2014 NAB AFL Draft.
"He's a utility size at 192cm, who can play at both ends.
Wednesday, 8 February 2017
".........He's turned himself into a quality player," (Tom) Lynch said..........
Tuesday, 18 April 2017
Mitch McGovern will be sidelined for up to three months with a torn hamstring,..........
Monday, 18 September 2017
Mitch McGovern is likely to miss Adelaide's preliminary final clash against Geelong with a sore hamstring,........
Tuesday, 26 September 2017
.........Mitch McGovern will have to pass Wednesday's main training session with flying colours before he's cleared for Saturday's Grand Final.......
Friday, 20 July 2018
Mitch McGovern slots straight back into the Crows' senior side after spending 10 weeks on the sidelines due to a serious ankle injury.........
Friday, 10 August 2018
...........McGovern has struggled with injury and form in a highly interrupted 2018 season..........
Monday, 27 August 2018
With Adelaide's season done, Mitch McGovern will undergo a minor arthroscopic procedure on both ankles...........
Wednesday, 10 October 2018
Adelaide has been able to accommodate forward Mitch McGovern's wish to join Carlton.......
Sunday, 28 October 2018
Carlton recruit Mitch McGovern believes he plays his best football as a forward.
Saturday, 22 December 2018
McGovern suffers a minor back fracture during a training incident.........Scans revealed a small, non-displaced fracture in his lower back ........
Friday, 5 July 2019
......Mitch McGovern ............has attracted criticism in his first season at Carlton,"........He's probably not performing at the level that he'd love to perform at,..........." Teague said. "He's got to continue to work on his fitness, work on his chemistry with the other guys around him and training hard. He probably hasn't been able to get out on the training track a lot this year because he's had a few injury issues and niggles "........just have to remain patient."..........
Friday, 19 July 2019
Mitch McGovern is dropped from Carlton's senior due to poor fitness levels......"He came in with two ankle operations and he broke his back, so he's had a really interrupted pre-season," David Teague said. "We probably rushed him in........He's been pulling up quite sore after games........"
Sunday, 4 August 2019
After being asked to improved his fitness, Mitch McGovern is expected to return to football soon, with brother Jeremy urging the talented forward to use his time on the sidelines as a wake-up call "........Hopefully, he will look back on it as a penny drop moment and he will get himself right."
May 7th, 2021
.........The Blues on Tuesday confirmed McGovern, who’s battled several hamstring issues since arriving at the Blues at the end of 2018, had sustained a high-grade hamstring strain and would spend eight to 10 weeks on the sidelines.........
Friday, 21 January 2022
Mitch McGovern has been training with the Blues' backline this summer, playing an intercepting role during match simulation drills at Ikon Park.

Hey Bermi - thank you mate, this is some great work!
Geez if he is on the 800k a year - *** are Carlton doing here, i suppose hindsight is nice but the injury signs were there. I am really fishing for options in the forward line at this stage, definitely the most uncertain line for me. Dunks is a lock, after that i'm really rotating a lot. Heeney and butters, butters is the one i prefer and will potentially start as i think will have the more friendly role. Then i've probably tried almost every player from Curnow to Gresham in price.
M.McGovern - ideal role for a stepping stone pick - but Bermi has just rolled out the alarm bells here, if he was just that little bit cheaper i'd roll the dice, 250k is just enough to make you have to adjust your structure, really doubt if its worth it. Will keep an eye on though
