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.

    @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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
