I read an article somewhere that Maguire was having contract disputes with St Kilda and might be on the march. I think he would be a good pick up, if the price was right.

    not sure whether he is out of contract, but would be great at the Dees. :rolleyes:

    Just the kind of KPP we need. I assume that most clubs will be looking to pick him up so the chances of getting him are pretty low.

    What could we give St.Kilda in return if we do get him?

    Maybe Ferguson to join his brother and pick 20

    Why do people want to trade PJ??? we need a ruckman as White is getting on and we dont have anyone else...Jamar is crap and should be the one we trade if any

    Goose would be a great pickup but i would imagine the saints would be hanging on to him as tightly as they can, though with the two nicks just signing new contracts this season, there wouldnt be much room left in their salary cap so there is a chance

    He is overrated, and he is never on the park anyway

    He was pretty consistant and relatively injury free until he broke his leg in 06

    I agree with Bruce Almighty if we got goose instead of Mcgregor, then that team of 2008 of your YZE_Magic would absolutely chop

    He is way better than Mcgregor

    Not when you weigh up what you would have to give up for them

    He would cost too much in terms of trading for him and he is horribly injury prone - would prefer the club to keep developing Frawley than get Maguire.

    Maguire would be a good pick up, no doubt but I don't think StK will let him leave. It'd definately be worth having a crack at him.

    Another who it has been suggested wants a change of clubs is Jayme Graham from WCE. He'd be cheaper and has done some good things.

    As for McGregor, he is just as injury prone as Maguire. I had a look at an Adelaide site and basically they think he has dodgy knees and won't be much of a loss (although I think he is a bit of a fan favourite). I'd only take him if he came very cheap!

    Oh for heavens sake......

    Now, I regard Maguire very highly at CHB, and I believe he would be great pick up, if we were able to get him, which is always the question.

    The Saints fan site are starting to get a little bit nervy about the the fact that Goose along with Xavier Clarke have not signed with the club as yet, and given how many big names they have had to re-contract (Kosi, Reiwoldt (on some big dollars apparently), Dal Santo, Hudgton, Fiora, last week, and an extra year for Fisher, who wasn't even out of contract) this season, there is an ever growing worry over there that they are running out of cash.

    As for his injuries, he had some injury concerns early on in his career back in 2002 and 2003, but got through that and was playing really good footy in 2005 and 2006 right up until he broke his leg at the end of last season. And seriously if anyone considers that a freak accident like that makes a player injury prone then maybe we are not on the same train of thought. Of course he has not played as well because of that break this year, but the talent is definitely there.

    I honestly believe he would be a great asset to our backline.

    Goose would be a good pick up but if we're any chance for Judd then we are no chance for Goose.

    If we are no chance for a Judd our 4th pick could be valuable and we could assist that trade with the trade, get Goose and either another good player or a replacement pick, probably early teens.

    That said, forget goose, get Judd.

  • Quote

    Judd is our main priority I'd say. I most contract negotiations would be taking a back seat this week at all clubs.

    While I do agree here.......

    I also believe that there has to be an eye kept on whoever else may become available.

    Judd has absolutely and necessarily become the top priority, but the club would be negligent if it disregarded all other possibilities.

    Just my opinion :) !!!

    with the juddster being so focused on, now could e a good time to snare other players who are left behind in other clubs planning...

    Absolutely. The smart money is on whatever falls our way. Linton Ave is a rabble..has been for decades and a good reason many talented players have . They are fed up with e bullsh!t that goes on there. if it wasnt true it would be written by a comedy scriptwriter!!

    certainly the main game is Judd.. but the wary will have all eys peeled for others !! ;) spot on QC

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
