Kieran McGuinness (born 8 July 1983) was an Australian rules footballer with the Western Bulldogs in the Australian Football League (AFL).
He was picked in the 2001 AFL Draft at pick 42. He made a sensational debut in his first year, kicking four goals against Essendon, but had limited opportunities from then on, playing 23 senior games to the end of the 2005 season. He played in the Victorian Football League (VFL) grand final in 2005 for Werribee.
He wore number 29 and was delisted at the end of 2006.
He now plays for the Northern Blues (VFL) after coming across from Norwood Redlegs in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) where he wore number 13. In 2011 he won Norwood's Club Champion award with 69 votes. He was appointed captain in 2012 and missed the 2012 Grand Final due to a knee reconstruction sustained early in the season. He bounced back in 2013 in round 2 and played in their 2013 Grand Final triumph against North Adelaide. [1] In the 2014 SANFL season, McGuinness was part of another Norwood premiership team and won the club's best and fairest award.[2]
