Logan Austin

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.

Listed as 196cm and 92kg on PA's site.

Is this the kid Hogan kicked 3 in a half on?

[rjay 24,990]

Do you know anything about him @rpfc?

[Tony Tea 2,809]

Logan Austin is a mountain, right.

[Jibroni 5,004]

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

[Watts the matter 1,235]

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.

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.

TOTY (Typo of the year)

[rpfc 28,539]

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.

sounded better before...lol

[DeeSpencer 25,723]

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.

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

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

[spirit of norm smith 16,478]

Pass. He is a dud. Ffs.

This is a joke

[DaveyDee 421]

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