Left field, yes, but this kid can play. Could be the gorilla minder we need. Well worth a crack if the price was right.

    Hmmmm

    Think you might find those stats are wrong. Good leadership skills, good closing speed, good one-one knock on him is a tad injury prone.

    Ive seen a bit of him in the SANFL and he is still a fair way off AFL IMO. Pass.

    The only time I can recall him was against us this season.

    I thought he was really good in his aerial contests against Hogan. Hogan didn't look like winning one.

    He was equally poor at ground level and made Hogan look like Franklin. Just seemed to always be lost once the ball hit the deck.

    Do you know anything about him @rpfc?

    Big lump, played forward in the U/19 Rising Stars comp and killed it, playing against me in the NEAFL they shifted him back.

    So would you take him? If yes what price? 

    Personally, I would prefer Trengove but I reckon we are a 1% chance for him.

    Haha. @Akum

    @DaveyDee - I haven't watched his progress since and I am always wary of the big fish in the small pond that is junior footy up in Canberra...

    I think the kid can play, Port have a quality backline. What I like about Logan is his ability to play on the likes of Daniher, Brown, Kennedy, Lynch opposition players that always get the better of us. Logan might not be a 22 game player today, but in 2-3 years could be an outstanding Full Back allowing TMac an option of moving forward. I would pay a pick in the 40's in this draft for him.

    Could this man be part of the trade for Watts?

    From what I can recall seeing him he was pretty slow.

    Really liked the look of him in 2016 but seemed he had an up and down year this year and only played 2 games. Nice mark and big kid but not sure he's all that athletic or skilled.

    They like Clurey and Jonas as 2nd/3rd tall options. Hombsch seems preferred as a taller player and Dougal Howard is exceptionally talented and can play both ends. So maybe Austin is an option. Not sure he'd be more than a 3rd to throw in with Frost and Oscar to compete for 2 spots whilst Tommy plays forward.

    Might be better off heading to the draft and trying to find a player with a higher ceiling.

    Not sure he’s required tbh

    We should have Lever, Frost, O Mac, Keilty, J Smith, Garland and T Mac capable of swinging back as tall-ish defensive options

    Austin isn’t particularly ahead of any of em

    Great to see young Logan get more opportunities at the Saints - this kid can play and I wish him all the best.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
