McGuane.  Big strong marking player who can pick the ball up cleanly at his feet, kick goals from all angles and ranges, setup goals with slick hand passes and provides defensive pressure with strong tackling and chasing.   Struggled with injuries last couple of years but unlike Vickery makes it on the field just about every week.

Can we fit him in our 22 with all the developing superstar power forwards we have?  Griffiths. Could he be any slower, softer or more injury prone.  Can he get the ball if he isn't kicking out? Couldn't outmark Skinner who was half his size on the weekend.  Should look to trade him for a sausage roll.  It has more bounce.  Pick 19 on what planet?  Then there is Post.  Huge frame.  Should make a tough Benny Gale like centre half back.  Reasonable skills but incredibly scared whenever he gets the football.  Unlike Griffiths, he can take the occasional mark.  But if they don't do some electric shock therapy on him soon, he will be out the door Cleve Hughes style.

He makes Ray Hall look like the Duck

It's amazing that McGuane will now most likely get a new contract  :gobdrop.
