Sandringham vs North Ballarat TODAY

4ever_saint · Sun 29 Mar 2009 2:43pm

If anyone goes can you please post reports on the saints boys- esp maguire, begley, eddy & steven.

Bernard Shakey · Sun 29 Mar 2009 4:21pm

Saw first 3 quarters.

Steven hurt his ankle in the first quarter and did not come back.

X was brilliant.

Goose looks like he needs another half dozen games for Sandy, before being considered.

Eddy was good.

Macca looks like he will be a player. Still lumbering and slow though.

or Lenny for Raph? Minimal changes this week. Those playing today will only have a 5 day break before an Interstate game !!

Did Lynch play ? If so how'd he perform ?

Bernard Shakey · Sun 29 Mar 2009 6:06pm

Lynch did not play. He was there with a couple of mates.

I wouldn't say crap, but ordinary.

He needs to get game time under his belt. Looks keen, but the body doesn't seem to want to obey.

Just as I thought.

I reckon Goose is stuffed and will have limited impact this year.

Pencil the poor bugger in for a delisting at seasons end unfortunately.

Likely sad end to what could've been a brilliant player.

My worry for Maguire started before he did his leg tbh.

His lack of mobility (see Gilbert) in todays game when big lumbering chf's are gone laves me thinking CHB is a tough ask....where to next?...you couldnt play him at FB.....imagine a Buddy? or even Fev?

Id love him to get back - for his sake but even IF the leg heals look at N Browne.....stilljust showing glimpses of what he was.

Going to be tough for Goose Im afraid.

This bloke broke his leg playing for our club.....Give him all the time he needs, weather it be another year or two.

1. His potential and previous form warrants it.

2. He has suffered playing for this club.

matrix · Post: # 715161Post **matrix** » Sun 29 Mar 2009 10:36pm

i agree,,,sadly
i luv the big guy and miss him out there.
but the game has gotten quicker very quickly since he has been out
big effort for him to catch up...
hopefully he proves us doubters wrong and comes back blazing

good to hear X is running around and getting plenty of it.
gonna be a contest to get a spot soon......and thats good.

I think the clubs doing that.

As I said my issues were with Maguire's footy BEFORE he broke his leg (he was just going prior to and many forget that).

Could not agree more, many do forget, the longer a player is injured, the better he often gets....

Unfortunately footy is now a business and you can't hang onto players through sentiment.

Hopefully after a decent showing of his ability at Sandy, Goose can fight his way back into our best 22. If not, I would say it's his last year at St Kilda.

Opposite analogy for the Clarke brothers on this site.

Opposite analogy for Michael Gardiner.

I think he was a quality player at the time.

SaintDebi · Post: # 715184Post **SaintDebi** » Sun 29 Mar 2009 10:57pm

Does anyone wonder if X and Raph are actually just the same person? Apart from their quite early days are they ever both fit and playing at the same time?

Fair enough your views but I recall him close to being relegated for a spell in the two's cause his drought of decent games had stretched for so long.

he looked great early on in his career when he could run (straight line) and roost the footy to big fwds in G, Hamill Roo etc and occasionally an outside 50 goal......today IMO speed, flexibility (again in the R Clarke/Gilbert mould) with the ability to hit targets is critical.

Give Maguire in the very least one more game, it would be in the clubs best interests.....
