Played for Richmond between 2004 and 2013

Poor bugger did his knee in the last training session of the year

Was a good servant of the club in his time with us, I wish him all the best for the future

 

[Tiger71]

Yeah, in the Ricky mold. tried his guts out for us and loved the club.

Good on you Luke, I still remember your game against Port in the wet, was Hardwicks first win, you played like a Champ that night.

 

[RunningBounce]

Always had a soft spot for McGuane. Hope he does well after footy.

 

[cairo tiger]

served us well did luke mguane

 

[Toadvine]

What a way to go out. Got to feel for him. Definitely not the most skilled bloke but always gave his best.

 

[Equus]

McGun

 

[SumTingWong]

Pretty sure he is the only player to be penalised for deliberate rushed point in that draw to St. Kilda too.

 

[_DBF_]

Thanks Luke.

 

[fumbler]

Rumour going around Labrador Tigers are interested in him next season.

 

[Gentlemen]

Say what you want about McGuane, but he tried his ass off.

The fact we had to play him in the ruck occasionally shows how versatile he could be.

Was a decent forward in our rough times and gave it his all, McGun

 

[Wally Matera]

Do Brisbane have anyone left?

Leunberger, Mayes, Lovescock, Staker, Aish, Redden, Maguire, Martin, McGuane...

Rabble.

 

[bigange]

Always liked him.

Congrats on an great career Luke.

YELLOW AND BLACK!

 

[DeseRigs]

Opens the door to Norf signing him CHIMP MAGNET

 

[DeseRigs]

Respected him for always doing his best for us. Wasn't the most skilled but held our defence together in an otherwise pretty bleak few years win/loss wise. All the best to him.

 

[Pounce]

Always tried his best for us even in the tough times in the past. I thought he played pretty well as a forward for us and it was good thinking by Dimma at the time. A shame he had to retire this way and he couldn't play on longer with Brisbane.

 

[Nostradumbass]

That game against carlspoon, was it a mark a tackle or a smother? He saved us when they had us on the rack.

 

[tora tora tora]

I liked luke ....

 

[Old M8]

Our first win VS Port Adelaide 2010. Just about decapitated himself in a contest, on hunches, and the ball comes back into the defensive 50. He bounds up, shoves the trainers out of the way and hits the contest with equal vigour and almost knocks out Brett Ebert.

Proud he played for our club.

Tackle on Bootsma round 1 2013?

 

[RichoLedio]

Was never a big fan of his but he gave us everything he had

 

[tiggywigs]

Could be freakishly good and would then disappear for the rest of the game.
But put in when we were shite.
Played 103 games for us.
Hope he has a son who lives up to the nickname 'McGun'.

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

Rocked the flat top with pride for over a decade, ripping dude, hopefully he'll be taking the occasional specky, making dudes walk a bit taller, and some step a bit shorter in the QAFL for a few years yet.

If there is a positive in the way he went out it is that he didn't tarnish his legacy by playing for Nofans next season.

 

[tigs2010]

My favorite part of McGuane was Up The Guts constant trolling of Brisbane that he was going there. About 5 years later he did

 

[TJTIGER]

Really loved Luke he gave his all & could not have done anymore. Can't asked more than that of a player......

 

[WATiger86]

Although he wasn't the most talented player you could not for one moment question is endeavour or commitment. Often played undersized as a defender in a shite side (not easy), and showed his aerial ability when swung forward for his last few seasons. Congrats on a great career Lukey
