Giants fan here if you think ur getting a key defender out of him you’ll be mistaken he’s a tall half back flanker. defence has never really been his strong suit so he’s not a marchbank or young replacement
Nah we don't. We're looking Voss likes to play 2 loose medium sized players hence young never gets opportunities. So McGovern plays the key role rotating with cowan kemp etc so long term it makes sense as we're a 1 natural tall side we have an cowan type to teach that role as that's what we lack under Voss a reliable interceptor
AVG 19.3 GAMES per year, and played 9 VFL full games this year to go with 8 games of AFL, aside from the early season injuries the guy has been nothing but durable for a decade, lets not start misinformation, no others enjoy just turning the camera and mic on, over here we pride ourselves on fact leads the conversation
Seeing that’s he’s actually 33 next year which is when he will be playing for us, and he managed 8 games this season it probably doesn’t look great if I’m honest, but if you could squeeze two seasons out of him and he can actually play a role while providing mentorship from a successful team, I guess it could work…could being the operative term. On the flip side, if he does a Sam Durdin and we can’t get him on the park there’s gonna be some people with serious egg on their faces for getting him in, considering our recent history with players from other clubs. We can only wait and see I guess.
Played 17 games played in vfl as they went with a different backline, his injuries way overplayed imo avg 20 games for a decade no player on our list bar cripps has got even close to his durability and certainly 0 have that experience. I'm glad we're trying to get old to be honest. Durdin made no sense as he was a failed top 20 pick, at least haynes types have been top level for a decade that's the iq I crave at the club! Time will tell though mate if its a good move but I am excited how it effects Wilson etc to have proper medium sized players so he can showcase his run and carry
@@PommyinOZ Ah okay, 17 in the VFL that's fair and yeah we'll see mate. If young Horrie Gorringe is to be believed, maybe there's a specific plan in mind for him and Gov.
Most definitely need player who can help weiters manage backline And teach and lead younger players..this has been well needed for some time now.and imo about time
love these unrestrcked players. rav come to us with injury cloud the one we could keep relatively fit why not him as well. Yeah might help propel our young backs, still got talent but years of smarts something we lack. Not about full games get a dozen good games got to stiffen our very bendy backline up. cost us bugger all. we haven't the cap space or the talent we don't want to be in trades for prime of career A graders. Nothing wrong with good honest footballers. Go pommy, Go blues.
His age ain't flattering either , yet his is when injuries become problematic, but if there was two who could share it it is horses for courses one game may suit Young , or Haynes , pay 2 for 1 good
I wouldn't be too excited about Haynes. He is currently on huge money and he'll still cost Carlton decent coin because he comes free as a free agent. I honestly don't think he'll improve Carlton and he could become a list clogger.
False saying he’s coming on big money that contract is done now & it’s been reported by credible journalists in the media he’s coming on very cheap money basically a base afl contract.
Historically speaking it's one year he's been out of action, but 17 games this year vfl and afl, he averages 18+ for last 10 years which makes him a durable player
Martin is a gun. If we can get him for nothing and he plays 20 games and we kick more points than our opposition in every game then we will probably win the flag 😮
I don't mind since he's free. Carlton needs to stop chasing players for big money. This is a good thing experience down back is what we need more of
Couldn't agree more mate
We need leadership back there. We need voice.
Don't mind it at all Pommy..good back up for Weiters hopefully like Liam Jones was
I agree 👍

Nick Haynes a great acquisition for the blues and as pom said younger players will grow q
Deffo gives us some iq for them young bucks
Exactly what Carlton 1 Experience 32 years old 2 comes to carlton with injuries awesome choice

@blackie75 deffo I think m8 like I'm never been sold on the big dawg own back. Prefer us use cowan and kemp in that loose role and buy a big 🤣🤣🤣
Agree Pom! I think he'd be a great acquisition as you said
💙💙💙

Agreed totally

Thanks mate I agree totally!
He an absolute gun …if he play 15 games …he will make a big difference…quality back man
Im happy with it too mate
His age ain't flattering either , yet his is when injuries become problematic, but if there was two who could share it it is horses for courses one game may suit Young , or Haynes , pay 2 for 1 good
Not unhappy with getting hiim for not much but for me I'll be more excited about people at the other end of the ground
Think that will be on the cards
If he stays free injury he’s good player will help us but also we will pay good money as well
Don't think the contract will be high reckon it's avg for age exp
Gezzzzz pom the old duke still a tad fresh lol 😳🫣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes you just need those "Been there, done that" Players at the club to grow the crop
Facts mate
I wouldn't be too excited about Haynes. He is currently on huge money and he'll still cost Carlton decent coin because he comes free as a free agent. I honestly don't think he'll improve Carlton and he could become a list clogger.
Don't think anyone gets excited. But huge upgrade on our last two depth defenders who've managed 4 games in 2 years
False saying he’s coming on big money that contract is done now & it’s been reported by credible journalists in the media he’s coming on very cheap money basically a base afl contract.
@@Juddy.Sports False saying that I said it was big money when in fact I said decent coin. Don't tell obvious lies.
LOVE IT
Me too m8
Doesn’t cost us anything so why not
standard setter if any of the VFL boys get ahead of him ya know they are the level
Will he play two seasons?
Historically speaking it's one year he's been out of action, but 17 games this year vfl and afl, he averages 18+ for last 10 years which makes him a durable player
@@PommyinOZ hopefully he’s our Brian Lake. Lake was 31 when he moved to Hawthorn. Howzat Pommy for a comparison?
Haynes could also mentor kemp and young . I think he brings stability class and maturity .
i like it too, lets go after jack martin, he's free too.
Hahahahahaaha
Martin is a gun. If we can get him for nothing and he plays 20 games and we kick more points than our opposition in every game then we will probably win the flag 😮
@lukerutter4471 makes sense for Geelong have depth there. For blues he was all we had so good risk reward
@@PommyinOZ if cats get him going and he plays 16 games ill be filthy.. what does that say about us if that happens
@lukerutter4471 and if we kept him and moir and co never played or were dropped for him to be injured all year what would we say this time?
More GWS scraps, not a KP player and we already have his position covered, get a real deal KP not this old bloke.
Think that's way too harsh to be fair a massive upgrade on marchbank and akuei
I see Haynes as a McGovern upgrade. Hopefully we get another key
Amen to this my friend
