PIES FATHER-SON PROSPECT CONTINUES TO IMPRESS

Clubs are already looking enviously at Collingwood’s father-son Tom McGuane as a ready-made talent with huge wraps being bestowed upon the son of premiership hero Mick.

The young emerging star, considered at this stage a later first-round pick, will play for the Western Jets and Vic Metro this year.

One Coates League talent scout said on Tuesday he had “a sidestep like Fred Astaire”.

In the age of 195cm freakish athletic midfielders he is a very good midfielder with an excellent left foot, composure in spades and plenty of creativity.

Talent spotters believe his size at 178cm and lack of pure explosive pace will keep him out of the very early picks but as a late first-round or early second-round pick he will be an ideal successor for the ageing midfield.

The Pies don’t have a first-round pick and under a new bidding system would have to find a bigger collection of draft points to match a bid for McGuane.

Recruiters said on Tuesday in a compromised first round with so many academy players having a rolled gold midfield talent to choose was hugely attractive for the Pies.

With the Coates League season about to start, McGuane could become a top 10 pick with more improvement or drift into the second round but clubs are envious about the Pies adding another father-son.

New Western Jets coach Christian Stagliano said of McGuane: “He is an awesome kid. So dedicated and he shows up with a smile on his face and works super hard on the track.

“He is very clever and sees the game quickly and his step buys himself time and space. He is a clever footballer who makes good decisions and he’s so happy to share his knowledge of the game with teammates. It has been really impressive how he thinks of those around him and supports them.”
