RICHMOND defender Luke McGuane looks likely to return home to Brisbane if a trade can be secured.
McGuane has played 84 matches for the Tigers (including 14 this year) but has strong family connections in Brisbane, with his brother expecting his first child.
The Tigers are understood to be open to making a trade with the 24-year-old.
McGuane was famously involved in an incident in Sydney last season with former player Ben Cousins.
McGuane and Cousins were suspended for a week over the incident.
In an interesting twist for the Tigers, another player involved in the same incident - Daniel Connors - is also a chance to be traded from the club.
Connors has had a troubled five years at the Tigers, including being suspended for eight matches in 2010 from the Sydney incident.
The other player involved was Dean Polo, who was delisted by the Tigers at the end of last year, before being picked up by the Saints.
McGuane would be a good fit for the Brisbane Lions, who need another key defender following the serious late-season knee injury to backman Brent Staker.
-
This is a wind up.
-
Connors, Mcguane, Jackson, Nason, Hislop, Taylor. This is exactly the type of crap we need weeded out of our club.
Edwards would be a nice icing on the cake.
Make it happen Richmond
-
:lol
Craig Hurchison :huh
-
It's Michael Voss in trade week so anything is possible ;D including wanting to trade for McGuane :pray.
We'll have your compo pick in exchange thanks Vossy ;D.
-
Think in a week draft we'd want a 2nd round pick for McGuane. I'm sure they'll off there early Round 3 pick which would be a win for them more than us.
-
Brisbane have picks 9, 29, 30, 34, 52, 70, etc....
I'd be targetting one of 29, 30 and 34. The latter is possibly the most realistic and would still give the Lions three decent early-ish picks to draft with. Possibly that will end up being four if they get another first rounder for Mitch Clark wanting to head back to WA.
That would gives us picks 15, 34, 37, 55, 73, etc .... with possibly one going to appease Adelaide for Maric if we can agree on a player swap.
-
Surely someone at Brisbane would have laid down the law to Voss about trades.
If they take McGuane after taking raines the RFC should make donations to that poor club.

TBH I think most clubs will not want to be selecting players in the 50s. Its hard enough in most years to pick beyond 50 and with this years draft considered lacking depth ...
-
Daniel my dear dingbat, for the purposes of these trades, the potential trade bait will be known as excellent footballers with A grade potential. Not just because we leave reference to our players as 'types of crap' to opposition supporters and Richmond haters, but because we don't want opposition supporters shouting the trade down before it happens.
-
please let it be true
-
:pray
-
If we pay most of his remaining year contract too it sweetens the deal. Hope there is an element of truth to this one. The quicker we get rid of these types the better - Id keep thursfield btw
-
Pick 30 will do nicely ;D
Or Tommy Rockliff :rollin :rollin

Re: draft depth. Once again punters reading too much into what the media nuff nuffs have to say.
"The clubs are rapt with the depth in this year's draft," said Sheehan.
"The first two rounds (of the draft) into the mid-30s, it's very, very strong."
"After that there's 90 other boys there and there's not too many you would say haven't got a chance of getting through."
"They're an impressive group and I think there's going to be some absolute gems later in the draft for those clubs prepared to give a youngster a chance."
"I think there will be dozens of bolters."

I can understand good teams not wanting to go deep but we still have some massive spuds on the list that need to be replaced and can be if we go deep in the draft. However, i think Sheahan has exaggerated how good the depth is.
-
Yeah he generally gags for every draft, so grain of salt. But media pundits have the draft dropping off a cliff at pick 15. I think it is a better draft than the year we picked up Nason and Webberley. Must use our first 3 picks and try and get another pick in that 30-50 range. I'm against using a 3rd rounder for Maric. Go a player swap.

I agree. Its probably in between the 2 extremes of may as well pack up shop at pick 15 and there are 120 good players ::)

Given their games played and age are similar, i would expect that McGuane and Maric would be traded for a similar draft pick, therefore McGuane to Brisbane and Maric to the Tigers for whatever draft pick we get from Brisbane.
-
McGawnski!
-
yellow black that would be great if that deal was done..good thinking on that
-
Thank McGod
-
yeah if we can basically swap a pick with Adel & Bris we don't lose out at all re draft order and get Maric in for next to nought...
liking the prospect of this...
Mc Goodbye!
-
I could live with a swap of Maric for McGuane. No loss for us as Rance, Grimes and co. have gone past McGaune in the pecking order. At least we wouldn't be throwing away a draft pick on another club's fringe 3rd-in-line ruckman.
The Brisbane board on BF is pretty funny over this with Lions fans claiming Voss has lost the plot again lol. In fairness the article says McGuane wants to go home to Brisbane (the city) rather than the Lions. Maybe Gold Coast is also an option. They have picks 27, 32 and 50.
-
McGawn and our pick 55 to GC for pick 32. Would love that.
-
Terry Leathers reckons McGuane is worth a 3rd rounder

He also thought McMahon was a good player. :P

For the purposes of the trade, Terry Wallace is a genius now stfu until its signed and sealed kk thanks. lol

The Lions' focus on Clark is preventing it from discussing other possible moves, including a trade with Richmond for defender Luke McGuane, who has been reported as keen to return to his home state of Queensland.
"We haven't spoken to Richmond about any trade for Luke McGuane," Lions national talent manager Rob Kerr said.
"Our main focus is to try and get this deal done, and if it gets done, I dare say a number of other things might follow."

Defender Luke McGuane seems unlikely to get to Brisbane despite reports.
Herald-Sun link (http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/richmond-lands-south-australian-star-steven-morris-in-deal-with-gws/story-fn69a32t-1226163182624)
-
Brisbane yesterday denied interest in Richmond defender Luke McGuane. "A defender is not our priority," Kerr said.

-
Damn, the Lions put someone other than Vossy in charge of their recruiting this year lol.
Sadly it was too good to be true :P. Only the Suns could be a remote possibility now otherwise Luke will be stuck playing at Coburg for the whole of 2012.
-
Maybe they are still interested and this is just part of the game of ducks and drakes that occur during trade week...time will tell

Look on the positive side delisting him next year frees up a spot on the list to draft a player in the 2012 draft which is apparently pretty strong.

Mooney stated on Trade Week Radio a deal should be done by end of trade week. He supposively knows McGuane's brother or his missus. :pray :pray :pray

Surplus to requirements.

Not saying he isn't like, I am sure he is a good bloke. IMO he isn't in our best 22, he is not the way forward for our club, and we should get anything we can for him while we can.
Batchelor and Grimes showed more this year then he did.
-
I can't believe we are going to get rid of this guy without trying him at CHF :banghead :banghead
We have the next Wayne Carey right under our noses and we don't even know it ::) ::) ;D
-
Forget this - not even on the radar now.
Brisbane chap was on draft radio and said about a month ago they looked at it but since then have re-evaluated their list and come to the conclusion he is not required.
The dream is over :(

Like last year, opposition clubs rate our list cloggers as poorly as we do on OER :-\.

I think that is code for they had a good look at his tapes and come to the conclusion he's no good.
-
It looks more and more likely that McGuane, Connors and Morton won't be traded because there are no takers.
-
its only day 2, gotta get the big crap out the way first then all the little fiddles will happen.

Yep, why are we bothering wasting our time and resources with trade week?? We should just pack up now and not bother with the rest of the week :banghead :banghead :lol :lol
-
stop trying to start poo man. you got mine & Oxxs Beefcake thread locked for good.
-
would love to trade luke but not in a 3 way deal for Maric. McGuane is worth more.

Can we kiss and make up then :-* :-*
I'm sorry I said what I said about Beefcake, I was just taking the wee.... :thumbsup :thumbsup
-
McGuane is worth more.
I think his reputation amongst tiger fans and the apparent lack of interest from other clubs suggests otherwise.

There will be interest later in the week for sure, it's just a few idiot clubs holding the whole thing up ATM :banghead :banghead
I can't see why they need a week to get there crap together?? It's not as if clubs haven't chatted about it before the week begins!! The AFL need to make it a 24 hour thin where a bell goes at midnight Sunday and the while thing is wrapped up midnight Monday. That will force clubs to trade what they can when they can instead of testing the waters, asking for rediculas pices and then sayinf FO when you don't come to the party a week later :banghead :banghead

Hopefully the fact that other clubs have as much interest in some of our lads as soggy cardboard will cause them to reevaluate their life choices and retire.

HTF do we know if anyone is interested or not? McGuane has done more in his career than this Beefcake wannabe. That's a fact. And I'm not exactly McGuane's biggest fan either.
Maric lmao

No mention of McGuane when Lions list manager Rob Kerr was interviewed on tradeweekradio.
-
Sigh! Well thats a shame, it seems we've tried at teh trade table as best we could. Have to make the tough calls and delist some players (McGuane contracted obviously).

Not over yet, I think Brisbane will look at other trades once they have struck a deal with Freo over Clark.
Freo just traded their compo pick to GWS for Pick 20 in this years draft, so maybe we will see some movement on the Clark to Freo front now, which means McGuane may end up going their later in the week.

Some of these clubs giving back their compo picks to the GCS and GWS are stuffin stupid IMHO.
