St Kilda has just re-signed Nick Reiwoldt and Nick Del Santo for 3 years each. That's two Nicks off our shopping list! Bummer but no real shock is it?

Matt Maguire remains unsigned.

I think the last thing we need is another undersized key position player. Who will no doubt be over-priced...

Oh yeah, tiny little fella that he is ;) .........

Yeah i wouldnt say he was small. He is bigger than any of our defenders. He would be an awesome pick up for our weak defence but we would never get him....

I was shocked to see on the back of my son's footy card the other day that Matt Maguire is actually 190cm - hardly small!

Yeah hardly small but still shorter than Carroll, Ferguson, Frawley, Garland, Holland, Miller and Warnock.

That's funny, he is listed on the Saints site as being 192cm :rolleyes: !!!

And he may not be quite as tall as some of our defenders (although he seems very strong, still plays on the big opposition forwards, and does do it pretty well) but he is, and this is just my opinion, a more solid and generally better player than most, if not all of our "bigger" defencive options.

Still undersized IMO...

Did u see him this week against Adelaide?

Was tossed around like a rag doll early against Bock. Giving away both height and weight, he ended up conceding 3 or 4 free just because of his lack of size. Too similar in stature to Carroll for my liking. A very good 3rd defensive option, but not #1 backman IMHO

I would have thought that that could have something to do with the fact he was coming back from a massive injury and is still rusty.

And unfortunately for us he is a far better footballer and stronger defender than Carroll will ever be IMO.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
