they'll have to start putting race results up on the scoreboard at noarlunga then, otherwise the coach will be popping downstairs to see how he is going on the punt

COLLINGWOOD football legend Mick McGuane has allegedly been caught on police surveillance visiting men claimed to be linked to Melbourne's gangland war.

McGuane has allegedly been detected associating with an accused drug manufacturer and another man claimed to be involved in organised crime.

He has been named in a brief of evidence that will be made public in a trial set for February.

At least one of the men he knows is linked to convicted drug trafficker and captured fugitive Tony Mokbel.

Police claim they saw McGuane repeatedly entering a house used as an amphetamine laboratory.

It is believed anti-gangland Purana detectives have spoken to McGuane over his alleged relationships with gangland figures.

McGuane would not comment on whether he had been interviewed by police.

He has not been charged with any offence.

"Am I involved in any gangland war? No," he said.

"Do I deal drugs? No. Do I shoot people? No. Have I been in hiding? No. Have I done anything wrong? No."

McGuane would not say if he had ever mixed with organised crime figures. But he said he would gladly face a court if he had done anything illegal.

"I'm not saying nothing. I'd be in jail if I did something wrong. I've got nothing to say."

Asked if he knew any criminals, McGuane said: "What's wrong with that? I've been caught on surveillance, so what? I can't visit a house?

"It's just like Alan Didak. Was he supposed to have a crystal ball? It's the same thing."

McGuane played 152 games for the Magpies, including the 1990 premiership, and three with Carlton.

He has since coached country team Gisborne to several premierships and was an assistant coach at St Kilda.

According to a source at South, there is no truth to this rumour.

But then, there was no truth to the "Pyman Sacked" rumour either...

What i've always enjoyed about this site is the ability for anyone to start rumours based on one's mood at the time. Therefore, an ex-Glenelg player of some repute has applied and apparently presented an impressive resume (in spite of his Glenelg association).
