Luke McGuane [merged]

[Danog]

Luke McGaune will have a huge year

Over his injuries?

[Coach]

Who did Luke play for in the Possibles vs Probables game? Hope he has a good year but won't hold my breath. He showed a bit in 2008 and was good for some of 2009. Been poor since then.

Probables (Green team)

Bump.

Where to for McGuane from here?

Appears to be well out of the best 22 barring injuries to our key backs

[Penelope]

with any luck he will see out the year at coburg, putting pressure on those in the seniors but not being able to break in.

Thanks for the service and good luck to him in whatever he does for the future after that.

saw Luke play yesterday down at kardinia park for coburg,and although only saw the last quarter of that game ,he did look just a bit too slow even at that level.Then again in my opinion posty didnt look much better in the senior game

Not sure about that, mate. The only player between Maguane and our best 22 is Post and he is far from a consistent. Key backs are still our major weakness. 

[Gigantor]

would swapping rance and posty be an improvement for now?..at fullback posty would more or less just spoil ,less scope for thinking his way out of trouble or creating ......anyway just a thought

[Hellenic Tiger]

Post has shown more form in the pre season so far than what Luke has.
Luke was diabolical last week against Freo and his form for the last two or so years has been patchy and that is being generous.
I have no doubt that Post will be in the 22 against the Filth.
I think Luke unfortunantely has not developed the way we hoped he would a few years ago and is now being overtaken by blokes who have been able to develop better and adapt to the pace demands and discipline of holding down a key defensive position.

[Dubstep Dookie]

McGuane is a known quantity, Post is in better form and potentially who knows how good he could be.

No brainer who's in the 22

Agree old boy. TBH I reckon McGuane was a much better player when he was a young bloke. Showed plenty of good signs in 2008 and 09.

[Hard Roar Tiger]

Mcguane has never been big enough, height or body size, to play as a key back.
Post is a good size to hold down a key positio, the question is whether he is too slow and if he can apply more lateral thinking which is too one dimensional and therefore predictable

[Dubstep Dookie]

Perhaps he could reinvent himself as a tall fwd?

[jordie2tivendale]

i am keen for the fella to play 100 games though he could have some pups down the track  i am not sure how many he has played must be close to 100 ? or is it over?

[Dubstep Dookie]

Just wanted to say welcome back to McG Banger as I know he frequents this site.

Will line up as our 2nd fwd tall tomorrow. Possibly could kick an octobag of Broadbeach Brim.

Oh yes.
