He's probably been on the radar for a number of years. Been in our academy, taught by his dad, won multiple BnF''s at local level.
God dammit I’d erased that disgusting memory from my mind until you posted this.Too 25 for 2025.
THOMAS McGUANE
Club: Victoria Metro/Western Jets/Keilor FC/Maribyrnong Sports Academy
Height: 177cm
DOB: 27/08/07
A small midfielder or forward, McGuane showed glimpses of his talent when representing Vic Metro at under-16 level last year. He has clean hands, while strong decision-making is another key asset. McGuane made an impressive start to his bottom-age campaign with the Jets this year, averaging 25.5 disposals in his first six matches. The highlight was a game against Northern Territory, where he recorded 38 disposals, 10 marks and nine inside-50s. His ability to create by hand and with his neat left-foot kick were features of that breakout performance. A must-watch player over the next 18 months, he is the son of former Collingwood dual-Copeland Trophy winner and premiership star Mick McGuane. While his dad also had a brief stint with Carlton, Thomas is only father-son eligible for the Magpies

I'm just referring to the fact that in a write-up like the one above, his pace isn't mentioned, which, if it was an absolute weapon of his, would be clearly stated.
It’s not mentioned as a weakness either though. Usually things like that are only brought up if there’s a glaring strength or deficiency, so the best we can say at the moment is he’s probably quickish but not lightning.
Who?

Hopefully grows another 20cms!#7 Thomas McGuane
Midfielder | 177cm | 27/08/2007
Stats: 31 disposals, 6 inside 50s, 1 goal
Collingwood fans will be buoyed by the performance of their future father-son prospect, who collected over 30 touches for the second time this season. Playing full-time in midfield, the bottom-ager was most lively on the outside where he could snatch metres and utilise his left-foot kicking to launch into attack, including for an outrageous goal from the boundary in term two. McGuane also got his hands on the inside ball and was quite tidy in tough conditions.

If you've heard it several times then can you provide any links? I've heard draft experts like Cal Twomey say he looks a future AFL player so someone is going to be really wrong.
Hi Carl. I know you’re trying to get a one-up here, but that was an inside thing. There are no links, just another poster on here who knows a scout or two, who’s already responded. Better luck next time.
I think you are right he does project as someone we will draft, with the draft 18 mths away he may well end up being 15 to 20 pick.
He can’t of been slow didn’t he famously take 10 bounces and run round 8 tackles v the Scum?
Just a guess that there aren't any scouts who don't think young Tom won't be on an AFL list in 18 months time, just spitting truths. The poster who knows these scouts might want to get a refresher.
Your spitting you opinion, like you always do. Enough with the lame catchphrases, there’s still 18 months till his draft and plenty of water to go under the bridge. We can all agree he’s looking very promising at this point.
"There are not any scouts who do not think young Tom will not be on an AFL list ..."
Was there that day
If you go back a year or so they were less sure. This year he has really produced as one of the younger kids.
At 172cm and 58kg, those recruiters were well within their rights to have doubts on him 12 month's ago. Why are you using last years assessment as a guide to this and next years assessment. No one here doesn't think he won't be picked up next year. It seems you are arguing for the sake of it.
