Toast Goose

[kylegee28]

What has he done this season?

Week in, Week out, he has been absolutely fantastic, and today was no different.

Really think he deserves some more attention

Top 3 in our Best & Fairest so far for mine.

I think it was Ace that took him out?

Good work to Goose though, all of our defenders need pay rises. And good health insurance...

 

[jjami15]

Been very solid throughout and consistant. I'll take those few mistakes and uneasiness when he has the ball in hand.

 

[CarloLion]

Yep! Good call, he really has completed a remarkable career turnaround, looked gone last year but is now a rock!

 

[patfullfankezz]

Unfortunately my dad took my copy of the record home, but there was a bit of a write up about how Matt's turned his career around after breaking his leg a few years ago with the Saints.

Otherwise I'd transpose some of it for you.

 

[Lionheart Penno]

Very relevant thread after today..Faces a barrage of entries through out the season but have noticed that he is now bodying his opponent in a way that gives our defenders a better chance to clear. Top class today and an Adonis all season!!!

Was a good article, outlining his comeback from his broken leg 6 years ago, he was 22 then, turned 28 this week.

Has been great all year except against @#$% Cats.

 

[Toffee Lion]

Crazy Vossy for picking up this reject along with Raines and Staker.

Set us back 5 years easily.

Goose comes from the town I live in down here, and one of the Dads at school is mates with him. Told him my son (6) is a Lions fan so he signed a cap and sent it down. Very nice of him.

Apparently going to set up an accidental on purpose meeting when he's next down here for a visit.

 

[Milk Steak]

I will admit to being a Maguire basher last season and I think it was warranted, but happy to admit he is a much better player this year (in most games). Still has the odd shocker and gives away some unnecessary free kicks,but he has improved a hell of a lot and is making better decisions

 

[Jorgo]

Loving the Goose in 2012!

 

[lionshine]

Yeah he has been great this year. This bye should give him a chance to let his body recover and than hopefully he can keep it up in the second half of the season!!

Go Goose

So who would you rather have at FB (given full availability rest of the team) - the Goose or the Sauce?

 

[Caiphus]

Goose's disposal is actually quite good under pressure, it's when he has time to think that he is prone to making a questionable decision. He seems to be quicker this year as well which has really helped. For me I would still have him at CHB and Sauce at FB when structure allows it; being burnt on the lead outside of 50 isn't as dangerous outside of scoring range... it really depends on the match-ups though.

 

[jackess]

Highlight for me was when he starting strolling up the field expecting a 50 only to be sent back. It should've been 50 though.

 

[Ceebee]

Has the advantage of using Brownys private gym,made him a better player.

both of these had me in tears, he must be hilarious guy to be around.

I love the bloke. Has a fantastic attack on the ball. So glad we have stuck with him and he has repaid the faith.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Another win for us from the 2009 trade period. He has his faults but never stops giving. In great form this year which is another reason why Sauce has stayed up forward
