Matt Maguire

[kenjo]

does anyone know how long matt 'goose' maguire will be out for?? and what about silvagni?

[Blueboys]

All speculation on Goose atm so need more news first.

silvagni was emg this weekend with ankle injury. Unless dockers get a major injury down back he could be on the sidelines for a while.

Lions Injury Update

The Brisbane Lions today received confirmation on the major injuries sustained from last weekend.

Defender Ashley McGrath has suffered a grade two tear in his right hamstring which is expected to keep him sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks while fellow defender Matt Maguire's MRI scans revealed he has plantar fasciitis in his left foot which will require him to take a rest period of between 2-4 weeks.

Scans also confirmed that 2009 draftee Callum Bartlett ruptured the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his right knee during the Lions Reserves' match against Aspley last Sunday.

The 18 year-old will undergo his second full knee reconstruction in as many years after he ruptured his left ACL in April last year.

Bartlett is certainly a candidate for the LARS surgery, but is still expected to miss the remainder of the 2010 AFL Season.

as far as i know he went for scans yesterday but i cant find any news about the extent of his injury. Iv heard sum1 say he is out for 4 weeks, but like u said prob just speculation atm

[Flame]

He is my bench cover along with Webberley at the moment.  May be a good time to trade him out if he is out for an extended period.... and gain some cash.

Looks like he is injured for a few weeks at least. Are there any good rookies or boys on the bubble to get in for him?? Need the cash..

Goose upgrade

My backline is Hodge, Goddard, Enright, Malceski, Fisher, Water, Goose (web, Nason)

Who should i get for him. I can get anyone. But i dont want scotland.

I am thinking Gilbert as the saints have a good run during league finals.

Thoughts?

[browny_wce]

gilbert in ur backs will give u 3 saints so hoefully they gel well together
why not scotland? hes in good form

[McRooster]

Carazzo is on my radar, you could consider Newman as a unique- he has 3 95+ scores in the last 4 rounds (with a high of 122) and has a b/e of only 51 against West Coast this week.
Young tigers, as they've gotten into the season, seem to always kick it to the captain in their uncertainty about what to do. Little kicks to himself from f/back and the subsequent kick in are to be considered.

Heard its up to 4 weeks, could be as little as 2, but prob more likely 3 with the split round.

[daniel lucanus]

why not scotland i was in the same situation as you 2 weeks ago and i went with him.
go for scotland...
but 2nd best would be gilbert

[jvalles]

If you want a Carlton unique, then take Russell, similar average to Scotland and Carazzo, and pretty good chance your opponent will never have him.

[bundyboy]

nice news thatguy

if that's the case, goose should be back after mid season break - so keeping him on the bench is certainly going to be my plan.

[Griffo1982]

This is my situation & options:
I have 9 trades left & am 353rd overall (700 from the leader) & have 18k in the kitty.

My team:

Backs:
Goddard, Enright, Malceski, Carrazzo, Hodge, Fisher, Maguire - Silvagni, Webberely

Mids:
Ablett, Judd, Hayes, Bartel, Watson, Barlow - Martin, Shuey

Rucks:
Sandilands, Ryder - Skipper, Lobbe

Fwds:
Pavlich, Didak, Brown, O'Keefe, Gia, Pod, Fyfe - Dangerfield, Rockliff

My thoughts are to downgrade Martin to Gysberts leaving me 150k in the bank to upgrade Maguire.
I realise i have cover for maguire but i think if i want to make up some ground & have a crack at the 50k then i cant afford to have someone like Webberley or Silvani on the ground for a few weeks & i also dont think that Maguire is a keeper if im serious obout trying to win the cash.

with the 150k in the bank i have 436k to upgrade Maguire & these are my options i'm considering:

Scotalnd 430k, Ave 103
Gilbert 392k, Ave 99
Russell 396k, Ave 93

I'm leaning towards Gilbert but an am a little concerned that Goddard, Fisher & Gilbert would be to many saints in my backline.

Can you let me know what you think is my best option please guys.

[Blueboys]

Great team! Your in a good spot atm too! lucky bugger!

Looks like you know what to do this week! I would be making the same move, that trade is the go for sure! 

[Chappy35]

most ppl in my league have carazzo. and no one has gilbert.

I just think for the extra 40000 i would need to spend on scotland i could save it and make my last midfield upgrade sick!
