Maguire to Hawthorn?

[fisher_fan]

Not necessarily, but Milne has been drifted around a bit, I remember last year there was a lot of speculation J Johnson and Milne were going to be traded with one another.

I have never been a fan of Milne's play, although its exciting I believe it's selfish at times. And why do Hawthorn have to ask? If they were keen to get Goose then if it's anything like the NBA or NHL the Saints have the right to counter offer and say have Goose, but take Milne with him and give us Williams and Pick 2.....

I am not claiming that this would happen, but I am just suggesting there are other ways than just chasing Fev with our pick 9 to gain a forward etc...like has been mentioned on this forum numerous hundred times.

[mad saint guy]

If he declared he wanted out, I would take these trades from Hawthorn

Maguire, 3rd rounder for Lewis, 2nd rounder
Maguire for Bateman, Bailey, 2nd rounder
Maguire for McGlynn, Dawson, 3rd rounder
Maguire, 1st rounder for Croad, Lewis, 1st rounder
Magure for Ladson, 1st rounder

croad may not be a good idea msg.

Dont understand why hawthorn would give us Lewis plus second round or Croad and Lewis for Goose. And why would we want Dawson.

Do you know where the question mark key is, plug?

Been asked that before but as I previously said I failed English. I will try to remember.

why would maguire go on the radio and say that he wanted and would probably be definitely staying at the club if he didnt intend on staying?

where did u hear that maguire had been out with the hawks?

1. if we got lewis, hawks first rounder and their second rounder for goose and our first rounder i would take it
2. bateman is too hot and cold...and i have never seen bailey play so cannot comment
3. mcglynn - next, dawson - although obviously maligned and i do think he will come good...it might take too long
4. you seriously dont think they would give up croad, lewis and their first rounder for goose do you??? that sounds like something that a team would give up for someone like judd
5. ladson plus their first rounder is not enough...

would probably be definitely staying at the club

Peter Everitt did the same thing on the Footy Show before leaving us for the Hawks....thats what worries me

lol, its been a long day.

that is worrying. i thought the boys had a pact that they wouldn't leave the club if they were given the chance. oh well. there are so many ifs and buts, i guess we wont know anything concrete until its officially announced.

[locoplayaz]

Maguire for Mark Williams and Joel Smith

[SaintWodonga]

I won't beleive rumours until there is an official statement. Until that happens, Goose is a Saint!

[n1ck]

Maguire for Mark Williams and Joel Smith

Isnt Smith retiring?

Wouldnt want him back anyway.

He wants to be a 'one club player'.

[battye]

Maguire for Mark Williams and Joel Smith

Yes! That would be a very good deal.

[Saints Premiers 2008]

no thank you joel smith...you had your chance (to quote one rb)

mark williams would be a welcome addition however i believe his knee is shot beyond real repair so the hawks might look to farm him off ala jon hay and thompson

dont forget how they conducted themselves with those two players...

if i was in anyway involved with the club i would not look at trading with the hawks if i could..pelchen doesnt come across as a fair player...

[vacuous space]

Max Bailey, Beau Dowler and Beau Muston are all extremely talented players coming back from serious injuries in recent years. They're all about 20-21. If Goose leave (and I still don't believe he will), then we should take a look at those three before any of the mediocre fringe players in their mid-20s that are in Hawthorn's 22.

[bigcarl]

Also Hawthorn wont deal fairly (if true) they never do.

Dealing is their speciality.

hahaha i just got it...

[bigcarl]

Theyd wanna do a lot better than that or see ya at Richmond.

Roughead?

yep, we should play hard ball on this one. for a gun key position player we want a like-for-like swap or, i agree, see you at richmond.

it might be a nick stevens situation arising where we don't get much in return for a top player ... or a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face ... but you have to have your pride.

and, if it's true, then st*ff you goose for tearing the heart out of the club

[carn_sainter]

I rarely believe rumors like this and rarely pay them attention...but Goose is an interesting one for me

If we do lose him, we're losing a very important position but not a very special player

In my observation, he has real attitude problems and i really don't like his approach

Probably owing to his injury he relies on trying to get away with breaking the rules

At his peak in 2004 and 2005 he was really good - standing up taking great intercepting marks, reading the play and keeping up with his opponent...if we were talking about 2004 matt maguire we're on the verge of losing i'd be shattered

Since it's 2007, i'm not worried about losing Matt Maguire, i'm worried about losing our CHB...there is a difference

Goose is a player who needs to be in a winning or almost dominant team to be a good player...he is largely unaccountable and slack and needs to have the opposition's midfield under the hammer to play well

He is a symptom of success, not a cause

If we had or could get an adequate replacement at CHB for season 2008, i wouldn't mind much

he has some mental aspects of his game which need ironing out straight away

if he can iron them out, he's better than what we could get for him...but i have my doubts that he can

the only way he'll be playing well is if we're on top

Anyone to tries to equate Gooses sense of loyalty, morals and ethics with Spoida's..well...you just cant really. Spida cares about Spida...nothing else. A mercenary of the highest order

[Oh When the Saints]

Mark Williams' knee is stuffed and he may not play again.


Joel Smith is retiring and struggled this year anyway.


McGlynn, Lewis and Muston are midfielders we should look at from Hawthorn.

Bailey (ruckman) and Dowler (key forward) are possibilities.

OMG some of you would take a toilet roll and a 3rd round draft pick for our biggest and strongest defender we have on our list...
