Luke McGuane [merged]

[Bulluss]

What are everyone's thoughts on Luke's game today.

I thought he was fairly solid today, made a few mistakes but he is still very raw. I am not convinced that he will make it yet, but the time has come to play these type of players and finally make a decision on their future's with us.

Luke certainly stood up in a few situations where i thought he would have been beaten today.

Hopefully over the season he may develop enough to hold down a regular spot.

Luke has a lot of potential. Great athletic ability, great motor and a terrific set of hands. Still very raw but and prone to making mistakes. But in time I think he could become a very solid and versatile KPP

Still big question marks over Luke as with Moore but so far I'm reasonably satisfied with both their games this year so far. They've done the jobs Plough has asked them to do and our backline hasn't leaked like a sieve.

[letsgetiton!]

both luke and moore will make it.

their mistakes are mainly due to lack of experience and confidence.
they are puting their bods in and running hard and are both quick and athletic.
we are going to need these types of tall athletes to compete with teams such as geelong.

their fwd line and young kids were effing freakish last night.

we were just unlucky we played the blues at their peak.
the real carlton showed last night.

anyway we all doubted luke and moore, its still early days , but if they keep this form up and improve bit by bit, they will become classy defenders with rebound run

Moore should have gone, been in the system for long enough. not tall enough to hold down a key position forward or back, and does not give us any run, a very stop start player, not what i would think is in terry's game plan. so why play or keep him, give JON a go, i would rather he make a mistake and learn from it, than MOORE who is making the same mistakes still. so long as LUKE McGUANE shows some improvement each week, he should been in the side each week.

Moore .... and does not give us any run, a very stop start player, not what i would think is in terry's game plan.

I think you need to take a longer look at Moore. "any run"? You're way off the mark on that one.

i agree, moore is fast and can run and has shown that.  some ppl i think are taking his game for granted. he thumped okeefe, moore only made one mistake on him where he did not man him up goal side and okeefe capitalised. apart from that, moore owned him!
and that sno mean fete, okeefe is an A grade player

[bluey_21]

I'm still not sold on Moore and never was a big fan. Just not special enough to make it IMHO

[Bulluss]

I am not convinced on either Moore or McGuane.

But in regards to Moore, i have always thought that he is a fantastic reader of the footy and can/will peel of his opponent if he thinks he has been dragged under the flight of the footy.

Still got a long way to go before he is a regular but stranger things have happened.

Most of us were calling for Pettifer's head 3 years ago.

A few noisy people is not most.

Plough says he's amazed with Luke and how he's fitted into the side and done a "strong job". Terry didn't think 6 weeks ago McGuane would play senior footy in the first month. While the coach is happy McGuane can consider his spot in the side fairly safe.

[Harry]

been good so far

[one-eyed]

How did we all see McGaune's game last night?

[bluey_21]

fantastic overhead

extremely competitive

still very raw

only targets he could hit were men in black and white

keeper for next year

[tigersalive]

Cant hit the side of a barn but his defensive work is fantastic.  The defensive work overrides his questionable kicking.
