AFL career[edit]
McGovern's first season at AFL level was interrupted by injuries, but he showed promise in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), kicking 15 goals in 11 games for Adelaide's reserves side.[1] He made his debut in round 1, 2016 against North Melbourne.[2]
During the last quarter of the Round 3 Showdown in 2017, McGovern injured his hamstring and had to leave the ground for the rest of the match.[3]
In Round 19 2017, McGovern took a large pack mark with approximately two seconds left in the last quarter and goaled after the final siren to draw with Collingwood despite his team at one stage being 50 points down during the match.[4]
At the conclusion of the 2018 season, McGovern informed the Crows he would like to be traded, despite having two years left on his contract. After requesting a trade to Carlton, McGovern was traded on 10 October.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Mitch is the younger brother of West Coast player Jeremy McGovern, and the son of former Sydney and Fremantle player Andrew McGovern.[6] Mitch McGovern, after being tutored by Cam Ellis-Yolmen, is proficient at the didgeridoo.[7]
