Luke McGuane
- Thread starter Tigers of Old
- Start date
There is much admiration for McGuane. He's been a serviceable player and a mighty clubman.
He did set a bit of a spark early on against the Hawks and his two goals were important, but I thought he pretty much disappeared after half-time.
I regard McGuane as a useful back-up (at either end of the ground), but as I have remarked previously, if he is in our best 22 come end of 2014 then the Tigers will be in a spot of bother.

Lake probably beat him on the day but he kept him very honest. Jack enjoyed being one out against Gibson.
I actually thought they worked pretty well in tandem. His defensive work was excellent(6 tackles). Put a lot of pressure on the Hawk defenders.

This is what happens when you have experienced fit depth players when they are out of contract.
They play for their lives.

That's why I have always been a bit concerned when RFC agrees to five-year arrangements with players.
Muscles did his job fairly well didn't he ToOheys? Can't ask for much more from a fringe depth player, probably earned another run next week.Tigers of Old said:

Again I thought Luke played closer to the role King does usually than Vickery.
That he was able to crash packs as well as apply pressure was good for our structure against the Hawks.
For the 6th time out of 10 games he kicked 2 or more goals and he averages the 2nd most goals aside from Jack this year for the team.
I too would keep him ahead of Edwards. Key forwards don't grow on trees and Luke is a handy depth option.

He’s a free agent isn’t he?
I presume he’s just going to walk to a team that gives him a better chance of senior footy.

I would think so. I certainly wouldn't be spending a dollar more on McGuane then required. If he walks keep Edwards. Only need one, McBean should be4 first inline for that role next year.

Morning Sam. Agree, the sooner we disperse these duds we can discuss the quality virtues of the replacement.

Great point, it's spot on. Defensive forward was and should be his main focus. Prefer King in that role as he provides more creative options as well. And makes pretty sound choices with the ball.
I'm guessing the "reality" is BETWEEN MCguane and A Edwards we,ve done alright out of them. Neither of them are going to be vital, long term answers but as a combined whole they've done the job ( so far) for 2013. 22 games for 16 goals but obviously there's more than that, the making space, the defensive forward role etc has worked.

Edwards will still be contracted next year won't he? Didn't we give him two or three years? If one goes, it'll be McGuane.
