Luke McGuane [merged]

[Stripes]

I would imagine McGuane will be fighting with Griffiths, Astbury and even Post for the third tall forward position next year....Could be traded but unlikely

[Ruanaidh]

Also, why does he continually lead to the same area as Jack 

He's not very smart WP.

If his skills were just a little bit better, I reckon he'd be worth persevering with as that 3rd tall. He's agile, mobile, can take a grab and puts good pressure on defenders, but geez he's not the smartest footballer going around and those misses from point blank range..... Shoot me for saying it, but his last 10 weeks have swayed me to the point of saying he's 50/50 to hang onto. I'd keep him ahead of Post and probably Astbury. Posts and Astbury have the turning circle of a mack truck, they will never be any good as 3rd talls because smaller opponents will run off them all day - and we have players that will always be ahead of them as key talls (Jack, Vickery, griffiths, rance, Chaplin, Grimes).

He's the best 2nd forward we have had in years.

Fair is fair,
I wanted to kill him as a defender but as a forward i know he;s ok because
i don't feel like vomiting when he attacks the ball or kicks for goal.

You mean, as opposed to him dropping the ball running out of the backline (costing us a goal) or turning the ball over rebounding 50 (costing us a goal) he is now making mistakes in our F50 arc and dropping the ball running into an open goal (costing us a goal)? I think he is found out less by his deficiencies up forward as we get over him kicking points more than gifting the opposition a goal.

In any matter, he wouldn't be in our best 22 if everyone was fit, and I feel the depth the club wants to build would see him a fair way back in the order.

[Ox]

better than vickery the sissy

[rogerd3]

Homeward bound?
Mmm could be

[TigerTimeII]

mguane is a goose,, eff him off asap

[eliminator]

Can lay a good tackle and take a good grab but his kicking for goal is not good at all. Much better in forwardline than in defence. Career hanging by a thread

[Ruanaidh]

Trade or depth on this year's efforts. Not in our top 22 IMO.

[WilliamPowell]

Also, why does he continually lead to the same area as Jack 

Probably because that's where the inside 50 is directed all the time. 

One of them is supposed to go towards the contest the other is supposed to lead the other way as a decoy to take defenders away from the contest 

[unplugged]

unplugged is McGuane. 

JVT hits like Edwards.   Buzz buzzz...

[jordie2tivendale]

Has a decent pair of hands doesn't go missing for long periods but his foot skills are deplorable and he needs  to be traded i hope  Griffiths takes Mc Spud's spot stuff trying to get him to 100 games

[TigerTimeII]

he is just too clumsey and and stuffs up the most basic things too often, rance is the same

In another coup for the Richmond Football Club, they have beaten off the free agency threat and retained Luke Mcguane. 

RICHMOND utility Luke McGuane is believed to be close to an agreement to re-sign with the Tigers, having improved his stocks at Punt Road with a strong finish to the season.
