The back 6 looked much more solid in the third term when Luke was back there taking the most dangerous forward. Agreed he wasnt brilliant up forward but is still a vital part of our team in the future. Sometimes wonder whether people actually watch the game or just post rehearsed comments on here.

I wonder too - seems posters just bang out the same old stuff after another typically ordinary performance eg part of our future, our best big defender. I don't think they watch the games at all.

What about suggesting to trade someone who has played 100 games and showed nothing.
We already have Tambling.
 
Re: Luke McGuane = Guts

Judges way to harshly by alot of the tiger faithful... his kciking isnt great but when you have lids, newy and connors around u it doesnt matter. A gutsy and commited defender who is improving. I do rate him

i tend to agree...we were much better when he went down to defence in the second half and asbury went foward..
luke makes some blunders..but he does a lot of great defence work to...has he had a bag of goals kicked on him this year??NO
 
Re: Luke McGuane = Guts

Pointless anywhere unless his job is to give away free kicks. Trade.
 
Re: Luke McGuane = Guts

Just a terrible player. The sooner we weed him out of the line-up permanently the better off we will be.

Agreed but still our best option. DOn't see why we would play him fwd at all. We lack a 2nd tall option and using Thursty and McgUane a half each is stupid
 
Re: Luke McGuane = Guts

Has always been Very clumsy in defense giving away silly frees

IMO. Rance deserves a chance and muscles will go
 
Re: Luke McGuane = Guts

Poor game from Luke.
I understand Dimma trying it but he's pretty well highlighted the limitations of Thursfield and McGuane the past couple of weeks.
Desperately need another key forward. Griffiths is hopefully the one.

Summed him up nicely in one sentance. He has been like this from day 1.

I can only think Beavis is trying to plug a hole for a short time. If he was serious about wanting either of these 2 defenders playing up front, his form to date would mean sending them both to coburg to learn that game.

Its how he dealt with Tambling and Morton when he wanted to change their roles.
 
Re: Luke McGuane = Guts

In know stats don't tell the whole story but LM's tell an interesting tale: TOG 97%, 5 disposals and 2 clangers and 2 frees against ( none to him).
