    McGovern out injured and Sam Durdin as his potential replacement.

      He, or their list manager that committed three years and probably a million bucks not long ago?

        McMahon was great when he was going. Him, Gilbee and Griffen all running off half back were a great combo

          That would still be an outstanding running back line. When McMahon was switched on he could quickly take a game apart.

            One of his best games was the EF in 2006.

            I recall many supporters were constantly bagging him when he played for us.

                  As they bagged the bald Eagle. We could do with a bit of speed and accurate kicks these two gave us. I think they felt McMahon was a bit soft, same with Eagleton. Although both were IIRC outside player they were both talented. Eagleton’s 50m+ bombs through the goal posts were a crowd pleaser.

                    I never feel players are soft. They all probably have a moment when they weren't switched on and some supporters never let up.

                    Eagle was a ripper at executing a long raking kick while travelling at blistering speed.

                      Until 2016 that was one of the most enjoyable games I've watched. On a big stage against a big club, we really delivered. Monty was amazing that day too. He would've (and should've) been subbed out the hit he copped from Brodie Holland had occurred now.
                      I'm pretty sure I read Monty comment that he had little memory of that game after that point, despite kicking 3 or maybe 4 goals after than incident.

                        Kicked 4 and doesn't remember a thing.

                          You called.

                          Eagleton was junk and I don’t want his name mentioned again.

                              Agree, anyone who plays the game is brave in my opinion. However some players are tougher than others.

                                After signing a three year extension this year, Carlton deny that Lewis Young will be traded this year.
