Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
Yes i,m a fan of Mcguane,Not because i believe he,s been sold short with his skills but the fact that he actually has the balls to throw his weight around.Something we havn,t had in a player for 30yrs.Yes it was stupid what he did last night however to say he,s Dumb is way over the top.Now to say he cost us the game.Your a joke.What qtr did it happen,The 2nd?Hmmmmmmmmmmm the Chimp missed one 25 mtrs out in the 3rd.Grigg missed 40 out.But oh no it was Mcguane who cost us the game in the 2nd.As for next week,No faith in Thirsty or Grimes Bob? :Tigerbob said:

Couldn't of said it better myself!!
The sooner we can replace Luke with a smarter defender the better imo.
No Rance, now no Mcguane V Buddy/Roughead next week! :

With McGuane, Moore and Rance out, it's time for Dirty Hands to come in.

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
Maybe dumb footballer is a bit condescending. How about lack of footy smarts and composure? McGuane definitely lacks both of those. Did his job last night on Reiwoldt, however, to be a truly competitive side and really threaten for the premiership, in today's game all your backmen have to be able to offer more than McGuane can. The skill level required woth the ball is much greater today than it was even 10 years ago.

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
Presti? Was struggling to get games last year. 13 games, no finals. Wasn't selected for the grand final replay. He's a perfect example of a dying breed. Retired at 33 years old. At 23, 10 years ago, he was perfect for the game. The game has moved on. Today, yes you need stoppers but those stoppers also need to be able to run off as much as possible when appropriate.
Be honest now, how many Presti' type key backmen are running out there these days?

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
I know most won't agree, but I just watched a replay of the McGuane hit and can't work out why he should be reported. He connected with Rays chest not head. If he did connect with the head, I have no doubt Ray would have been out cold!

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
If that's the case then great....but my first thoughts was Muscles jumped off the ground and made contact to his head.

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
You may well be right that Presti type backmen are a dying breed,but the only reason Presti didn`t play all 22 games plus all the finals was due to injury.
Only playing 13 games had nothing to do with his form,he hadn`t played for a month due to injury yet Collingwood still selected him for the Grand Final,the only reason he didn`t play was because he withdrew himself due to not feeling right.
That`s how I saw it too.

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
Smashed? Didn't Reiwoldt get 3 and miss 2 straight-forward shots? Didn't McGuane concede 5 free kicks?
McGuane applied himslef 100% as usual. The Saints gameplan was as usual, completely unsuitable for a key forward. Reiwoldt was the only tall target and most times was double or triple teamed.
McGuane was appallingly free-kicked in the last but kept going. He played as well as he can. Hope he gets off but if he doesn't Gourdis or Grimes will hopefully get the nod.

Re: Luke McGuane = Guts
Pretty much cost us the Hawthorn game last year through bad decisions in the last quarter. He's just not decisive, which means he'll often come unstuck. Case in point: the rushed behind incident. That it was wrong is immaterial. Superb pickup off the ground but he had no idea what he was going to do with it once he had it. Saints player closed the gap and the rest is history. I'll never question his effort or desire though. Good fightback after Riewoldt was dominant for the first ~45 minutes.
We should expect the MRP to cite the St.Kilda medical report in its finding, as they did with Waite.
