GOOSE - trade or keep?

[buffalopride]

Just wondering boys since matty's broken leg he looks and plays like a different player. Would the sainters consider a trade, to who and for what? or would you boys want to hold onto him?

 

[goodie23]

Keep, he's an important member of our spine. Get a good pre-season into him and he'll be as good as new

 

[cartwright]

"this girl" says keep him

 

[The Punter]

Maguire is safe. Has always been a player who needs matches under his belt to hit his best form. This was evident when he returned in 2004 after a bout of OP. He was nowhere near as good at the end of the season as he was at the start. If Maguire can undertake a full pre-season I am confident we will see him near to his best form playing CHB (if he is played in the wrong position, eg FB, like he was against West Coast, then he will struggle).

I agree. The further away from the "Hot Spot" he is the better.

Is he under contract, the other boards seem to suggest that we haven't re signed him?

 

[Raav]

He'll be a monster next year.
If you insist on trading him you can have Matthew Moody and Beau Mc Donald.
Deal or no deal?

 

[BrianSpeaking]

Matty has been offered massive longt term deals by both Richmond and Carlton. He is no sure bet to stay a Sainter, lets all hope he does otherwise we get nothing for him in the Pre Season draft...another Joel Smith?

 

[alo_saints_fan]

The idiots on the carlton board think they are getting Goose. He is under contract isn't he? If he is not im sure he will re-sign and stay. A good pre-season will do him wonders, he will be a different player in 08 compared to 07. Imagine a fit Goose, a fit Max, Goddard, S. Fisher and Gram all in our back line, it looks oninous, and if i dont say so myself, no forward line would be able to stretch that backline.

has to stay

Why do you think he has gone ? Just a negative attitude, or do you have some inside news ?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Hawthorn would be happy to tape him off your hands

 

[mulhollanddrive]

He's out of contract, and his manager has told journos that there are clubs - including Rich,Carl,Haw interested in him.

He'd help us alot, we need another key defender.

Now this is where you put out a hypothetical trade to get him which is ridiculously in your favour. Something like Zac Dawson and a 4th round pick for Goose and our 2nd round pick.

 

[Lidge]

If he's looking to move - North would be up for a deal (massive shortage of decent defenders). And we have a stockpile of ruckmen.

 

[DaSawx]

Hille + pick 24 or whatever

 

[sackers5]

There is absolutely no way on Gods earth that St.Kilda will actively seek to trade Goose. In fact it is so unfeasible that it is laughable. Whether Goose wants to stay or go or is influenced by the bigger bucks, I don't know. But the only way that Goose will be traded is if he asked to be traded and the Saints are forced to trade him at the risk of losing him for nothing.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Care to swap him for a Sponsorship with Optus/Telechoice

You just let him walk into the PSD - and demand a high number which we front load.

It can be done !

[hawka_fan]

Dawson + pick 17 for Goose... would be nice

If I was you I would worry more about changing my signature. Because if Cam Faulkner is going to become the next Mcleod, it aint going to be at the dogs

 

[HBF]

Surely the Saints will do there very very best to keep him. Not so sure how much room they would have under there Salary Cap though.
