nickdalsantoswife: Hey Goose, how have u been handling the extreme heat in S.A.?

max8: Hey Goose, how have you been? Do you know anything about captaincy yet? Has it been talked about?
Matt Maguire: No, the captaincy hasn’t been talked about, but we will be electing a leadership group soon and a captain will be chosen from there.
saintbrat: How are the three new guys fitting in - have you found ways to make them welcome?
Matt Maguire: Aaron fiora, McGough and Acland are all fitting in well, a lot of the boys already know each other, so that is good.
mattyz_babe: Is Milney finally getting a tan, seeing as he is in the sun so much over there? That’s from Alana
Matt Maguire: He's trying, but I don’t think he can, he's only gone a darker shade of white.
LaUrEnCe: Who’s your best friend in the club, as in, who do u get along with the most ?
Matt Maguire: Luke Ball and Nick Dal Santo are the two blokes I consider good mates and get along with really well.
mattyz_babe: Is it hard having such long trips during the days? Are the boys getting sick of each other?
Matt Maguire: The boys aren’t getting too sick of each other. We spend time with different people everyday, so that’s good.
bsk2002: Nick Dal Santo was looking pretty buff in a photo. Who else is bulking up?
Matt Maguire: The main “bulker-upperer” is Brendan Goddard. He's topped the scales at 98.5kg
flea: Hey Matty we've heard so much about the running programs. How's your sprint technique coming along?
Matt Maguire: My sprint technique is not coming along all that well, I'm still getting over the O.P. Doing more swimming and cycling fitness work.
brookie: Hey Goose, who are you sharing a villa with? Do they snore?
Matt Maguire: I'm sharing with Nick Riewoldt and that’s all, which is a bit of a luxury. Everyone else is four to a room, so the only person I have to worry about snoring is me.
Saintbrat: What different foods have you tried and enjoyed?
Matt Maguire: We had ostrich when we were on safari which was very nice, apart from that I don’t think we've had anything too different
winmaristheman: Hey with Fiora on the back flank with you and Aussie that will be pretty hard to match up on, what do you reckon?
Matt Maguire: Yes, I think the backline is pretty good if we can get everyone out there and keep them out there
LaUrEnCe: Usually there are two groups a nerdy group and the cool group. Is there such a thing in St Kilda? Which group are you in?

Matt Maguire: Luke Ball is a Barker.
LaUrEnCe: Who was your hardest opponent to face in your career? P.S. I don't like Tredrae ;)
