Then again, SEN might not have made up that story at all.

My contact at St. Kilda suggests that the delisting of McGuire was a little unexpected and there's some speculation that the Saints could be trying to make room under the salary cap to allow a new offer to be made to retain Luke Ball.

A-ha, I see.

No for McGuire anyway.

    Sam Blease certainly hasn't helped his situation any Good by breaking his leg, Fortunately as he is still Growing he should be ok.

    Bones heal better when they are still Growing. But only time will tell.

    Broke my leg very badly playing football when I was about 16. Snapped my Tibia and had multiple fractures in my fibula and then a couple more in my ankle. Having said that its very common to have multiple fractures as the force is transfered throughout your leg. Each person is diffrent but I have not had any issues since. As long as they were able to reset the break properly he should be fine. The leg will actually be stronger than before.

    That's good to hear!!!

    Now about that Leg!

    Yeah at 16 your bone is still growing-you were lucky.

    I spoke to Nathan Brown about his leg last year, & his main issue was Dull pains & fatigue in the second half of Quarters.

    He was Burning in that first part of 2005. A real shame as Brown is a really nice guy.

    I hope that Sam is all ok.....

    Feel sorry fpr the bloke because he was right up there. Would have been nice if Lyon could have given him, considering he was fully fit, a 100th game. But I suppose if he did that then he might outshine the golden child Dawson. Would love to pick him up if no Ball, big name, still relatively young and he could well be a star again with constant game time

    Maguire keeping options open

    Goose happy to do a preseason if it helps his chances at furthering his career.

    What could be the harm in inviting him to Melbourne ...we'd get a good up close look at him.. whats the harm ?

    Go after him I say he is 25 had a year of recovery in the VFL and is no longer pigeonholed as a backman considering he kicked 5 goals on more than one occasion for Sandringham this year. Is only 25 and fits in with our youth policy. Would be silly not to look at him.

    I'd prefer an injury riddled J.Smith to an injury proned Goose (KPB). We have key defenders. I don't buy into the "could play forward" option either.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
