Matt Maguire - Round 1
Was nice to see him doing well, DT stats-wise anyway, but apparently he has done his hamstring again....

There is already a thread on his first game for the Lions.

Goose is King.
I flicked it over during a break in our game and saw him take a commanding mark in defense and I just wish he was still ours.
He had a couple of his 70M drop punts and pretty severe cramp too.
He was next to Browny when they sung there song and it was good to see Goose happy.

Indeed. He looked the goods during the parts of the match I saw. That mark was a ripper and classic Goose, as were those massive kicks. Those kicks will be a big asset to Brisbane, to get over the "clusters", of teams like us and Hawthorn. They're worth two kicks of many blokes.Goose is king wrote:Goose is King.

I also saw him bolt down the ground at one stage and he certainly didn't look "slow", as some on here have been saying he is now. His speed looked perfectly acceptable for someone of his size. It looked like a fine game for someone who was playing his first senior AFL match in almost 2 years. I was spewing that it wasn't for us.
We could really regret letting him go.

Teams need to evolve and St.Kilda wouldn't have played in last years GF without evolving. If it means giving up a few players to play and possibly win a Grand Final then I'd take that any day of the weekAnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:Indeed.

Great. Lets give up Roo for nothing at the end of the year then and see how much we evolve as a result of that. It would be an evolution fest!Moccha wrote:Teams need to evolve and St.Kilda wouldn't have played in last years GF without evolving.

Hawthorn evolved in 2008, but then they let Dawson go at the end of that year and probably lived to regret it all last year, especially when they were missing 2 or three of their talls down back. We could easily experience the same thing this year, if Zac and someone like Sam Fisher happened to miss games together.
Who would replace them if we were facing the Dogs with Barry Hall? Or Brisbane with Brown and Fev? Steven Gaertner, or Wil Johnson (who barely even got a game in the NAB Cup)? It could easily cost us a flag.
I know who I'd rather have out of one of those two or Goose, who looked like great last night.

Of course you wouldn't give up Riewoldt or your best 25 players but guys like Maguire who weren't in the best 30 according to the coach have been moved on which makes space for fresh new talent to come in. It's like stale eggs. Keeping them in the fridge isn't going to keep them fresh!

Have you actually thought that he may have wanted out because he couldnt get a look in last year.AnythingsPossibleSaints wrote:Great.

Same goes for Ball.
Goose did his hammy yet again.
Good luck to him, I hope he comes back and plays a few more games for the Lions.
Remember, the Lions are a much weaker team then ours, hence Goose gets a chance.
