When Mitch McGovern swapped Adelaide for Carlton in 2018, his versatility was highly touted - that quickly proved to be true during his time in Navy Blue.

Under AFL Senior Coach Michael Voss, McGovern has largely spent his time in the back half, but that hasn’t stopped him from moving forward to have an impact when the situation presents.

Strong overhead and backing himself by foot, McGovern is a popular figure among the playing group - as are his three kids Margot, Hamish and Addison - and is nearing 100 games in Navy Blue in what will be his eighth season at IKON Park.
