Being from wagga Wagga don't get to see any of the coburg games but get the gist of how players are performing on this site.So what are Luke McGuanes best attributes and deficiancies? I know his body is not developed yet.But in time could he end up playing chb? Is he tall enough?Would be a huge bonus for the club if one of these forward types could be developed as a key backman.
Not much of young Luke has been seen but from what i have seen of the boy training and in a couple of Coburg games indicates a fair bit of promise with Luke.
He is mobile with a yard for his size is tall enough bout 192 cm i think for a key back post but would require another 8 - 10 kgs minimum to be a power key back.
Luke has good hands and to be honest havent seen enough of him to get a great idea re foot skills but from what little i have seen they are pretty good.
Luke along with Limbach are coming from a fair ways back in regards to his injuries last year, but i think young McGuane has somthing to offer or at least be heavily looked at and worked with this year.
McGuane is a definite prospect for either key defensive post in the future and imo would be the most ideal of the youngsters to possibly develop as a key defender rather than a Limbach, Moore or Hughes.
Couldnt hurt to give him a go especially Pre season in scratch matches and down back for the Burgers with Morrison, Rix and Archie gone their is scope for our youngsters to have a run down back.
