Maguire- Gone (does not like Ross Lyon....because he does not rate him)

Thomas didn't either. Or at least not half as much as he rates himself.

Quote:

Either way, get him while he's cheap."

He'd be cheap for a reason- he's a 'C Grader', but people (and the big GOOOOOOSE himself) believe he's an 'A Grader' for the simple fact that James Brayshaw likes the way his nickname rolls of his tongue. Regular appearances on The Footy Show and Triple M radio can't hide the fact that he is a very, very ordinary footballer.

If the people over there at St. Kilda don't rate him, why should we?

Don't believe the hype.

[Gorgoroth 13,019]

I have thought he was a decent player, i have watched a fair bit of saints games and thought he goes alright

[sylvinator 96]

he's a big strong key defender. is young and talented and from what ive seen is pretty bloody good when he can actually get his body right.

he would be an awesome fit into our team because he has the ability to take the monster forward thus releasing rivers and carrol to actually play on forwards their own size.

Don't missunderstand what my post infers about me. 2 years ago I thought Maguire was pretty good but all this poor form & speculation has caused me to question my previous reactive thinking. I'm not sure, so used this piece for discussion to kick off this topic re poss' trades.

We should know about judd within the next week so things intrade will start to unfold & hopefully we may pickup an early pick, wishfull thinking as I'm starting to think we would be better off without having to sell the furniture to stay in the bidding.

Totally agree

[demoniac 1,336]

Maguire would be our Centre Half Back. Was coming back from a broken leg this year.

As for getting him while he is cheap - he won't come cheap.

[The Backyard Charizard 1,202]

Anyone that doesn't rate Goose as a decent backman has a fair lack of footy smarts!

The bloke (like previously said) was coming back from a horrific injury to his leg..... He is hard, strong and able to provide run off the backline.....

If Melbourne missed out on Judd, but picked up McGuire instead.... I would be more than happy going into next year!!

People constantly whinge and [censored] about our backline being weak on this site....

And then when a quality, tough as nails backman is up for grabs, people say he is not worth getting!!

HAHAHA..... Some people make me laugh

[Gouga 570]

Maguire is a walk up CHB in our side.

Maybe Robbo to the Bulldogs, pick 22 to St.Kilda and Maguire to Melbourne? I'd be happy with that.

Good shout. Dunno about the Bulldogs, but they'd consider it for a 50+ goal per season forward with a bit of an X-factor, even if he is 29 next year.

St Kilda would be reluctant to part with Maguire, i'm sure, but if he won't sign, he won't sign, so an early second round pick is reasonable compensation.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Maguire is massively overrated

Id rather get Ken mcGregor

[sylvinator 96]

Ken McGregor is [censored], is turning 27 years old and is exactly what we DONT need at MFC.

we shuldnt trade for anyone over 25 years old

[kramer 0]

McGregor is a good/average player( weve got enough of those) who cant kick. Bad choise.

[sylvinator 96]

exactly right Kramer.

McGregor cant kick.

Bailey seems to specifically want footballers who have good kicking skills. note his delisting of godfrey and ward even tho they have good endevour.

the new Melbourne Demons will be a skillful team.

Dean Bailey doesnt have time for Y_M's love children in average players like Ken Mcgregor. he could only fit into the adelaide side 9 times this year ffs

[WonnaJurah 5]

Henry Playfair

cant get into the cats top side would he be worth a shot:?

If Bailey wants good kickers Playfair is not the answer. He cant kick for s**t! <_<

[WonnaJurah 5]

sherman in for brad miller another suggestion,given that miller from qld, and sherman find hard next year when bradshaw returns as well as all there youngsters

[WonnaJurah 5]

geelong were happy to get ottens thats for sure

[davey_magik 1]

I'd happily take Maguire at Melbourne.

Even though Sherman struggled this year Brisbane will be looking for much more than just Brad Miller maybe miller and pick 21.

Hopefully we can look to get Cameron Wood/Chris Judd before we start looking at Sherman etc.

[Demon Disciple 12,274]

Maguire is massively overrated

LOL, he is El Crappo. Only slightly above Miller.

Henry Playfair

Well if our aim is to recruit a complete dud, then he's our man. (PS - we need to get rid of all our 'Z' grade players, not recruit more of them)

sherman in for brad miller another suggestion,given that miller from qld, and sherman find hard next year when bradshaw returns as well as all there youngsters

We would be getting away with daylight robbery. I like it !!!

[joeboy 3,166]

Maguire is big , strong , talented and dirty - EXACTLY what we need !

[Axis of Bob 11,844]

Should we be targeting a player who is no improvement on our current CHB? Remember Jared Rivers?

[joeboy 3,166]

I'd have thought we were all aware of Rivers' light frame and short stature being the only drawback to his being in the upper echelon of KPPs.

In terms of body structure Rivers is a boy compared to Maguire .
