Was it a 2 year deal? So next year?

Logan was not valued at his club because they didnt need him and...whatever we dont know.

Its a guess. He has had only a few good games but IF he was amazeballs why trade him for chips? Looking at his stats he just barely passes. I watched him play against Demons and he was awful.

But he is young. He can learn off his twin Brown who is a soldier - doesnt get cudos or many stats but can be useful.

His injuries and very slow recovery blurred his star shining at Port. If he does really recover and regain his speed we could have a good player. But I'm not holding my breath. Port DID NOT get rid of a player fully recovered ready to start in the 22. We need a back up so I'm hoping he is ready and has a good preseason.

This kid hasnt had an uninterrupted preseason since being drafted and suffered groin and shoulder injuries in his first year.
In 2016, he got the better of Cloke, Griffith and Vickery, Petrie, Patton and Hogan and did ok on Lynch in his first 11 games, so he got beaten by Pavlich, he is in good company there and he was outwieghed by Redpath.
He went down in his 11th game with an ankle injury in the last game of 2016.
2017 he had a slow start and he struggled to get his place and 2016 form at full back back.
On the positive side, he put on nearly 10kg and grew 5cm while all this was happening.
He now faces a full preseason and looks cherry ripe to take the next step. He wrestles gorillas, moves well and has a good kick. Takes a few marks too. He works hard and is a very capable reboubder and reader of the play and is a real team player with a thirst to get into the play whenever he can. Sound like we got this one right so far.
Bgood luck son and welcome to the Saints.

When did he best Hogan? Not 2016...the first Demons game Hogan had 7 scoring shots and mega marks...the second game Hogan did play poorly but Logan had 0 contested possessions, 0 contested marks, 6 pressure acts ( only 2 players had less) and 2 intercept possessions. Did I miss a game?

I will take your word for it but Im guessing this bloke was at the game.

I concede that he 'blanketed' Hogan. Based on the effectiveness and role objective, its a win.

says it all. Doesn't stand out at SAFL and not good enough for powers top 22. Only get him if it really cheap and as a back up player for injured players. I would rather not get another list clogger
You must be a glass half empty kind of guy. I can see plenty of positives there including "Given job on Cloke on debut and kept him goalless. Didn’t do anything wrong either." and "Kept Patton to one goal." and "Fine response to his demotion, helping himself to 22 disposals in big win over the Panthers." and "Undoubtedly Port’s defender on an otherwise disappointing day. Stood tall with nine marks and eight rebound 50s." (the last two were in the SANFL).
More a glass is too big kind of guy. Need to manage expectations. Happy we got him for next to nothing and he does add some much needed depth to our backline but needs some serious improvement & I completely stand by my comments. Its easy to cheery pick comments to prove a point i.e. his second to last game Had no impact at all. or Big job on Pavlich and couldn’t handle it. Quiet afternoon. Had minimal influence. etc. but that is a little pointless. I never heard of him before this week, an I doubt most other people hadn't either & Port let him go for two fifths of f@%k all so they obvious don't rate him. Always happy to be proven wrong but been burnt too many times expecting average players to be good or even serviceable.
A very good young footballer and one of the best that Canberra has produced in the last few years along with Jack Steele and Josh Bruce.Saw him play as a junier playing alongside one of my grandsons and was very impressed.

Also has good leadership qualities and a good solid family background. We could have done a lot worse.

Note sure if the link worked so......

2016 Season
1 SANFL Booted Port's only third-term goal but beaten on the night. -
2 SANFL Had a genuine crack in defence. -
3 SANFL Didn't do much wrong in defence. -
4 SANFL Bye. -
5 SANFL Composed and unruffled in backline. -
6 SANFL Quiet afternoon. Had minimal influence. -
7 SANFL Impressed running out of defence with seven rebound 50s. -
8 SANFL Run out of defence impressive in first-half but shut down thereafter. -
9 SANFL Unobtrusive if unspectacular in defence. -
10 SANFL Bye. -
11 Coll Given job on Cloke on debut and kept him goalless. Didn’t do anything wrong either. 6
12 WB Struggled to come to terms with the bigger bodied Redpath. 4
13 Frem Big job on Pavlich and couldn’t handle it. 3
15 Rich Rotated between Griffiths and Vickery and wasn’t beaten. 6
16 Haw Copped a heavy knock to the head in the third term. 4
17 NM Matched on Petrie. Tore in for the ball with aggression. 5
18 GWS Kept Patton to one goal. 6
19 Bris Light on disposals but in the scheme of a massive win, it was not disastrous. 4
20 Syd Had hands full down back but not aided by lack of pressure further afield. 4
21 Melb A slight hamstring strain but still good enough to blanket Hogan. 5
22 Groin.
23 GCS Opposed to Lynch for parts and did OK. Suffered ankle injury in third quarter

Had a great first half the year but trailed off in the final two months along with his team-mates.
His last year imo.

Pretty sure that should have read "Austin powers in for the ball".

Hinkley and Richardson are best mates. I doubt one would try to pull a shifty on the other. A little like when Lyin coached us and Roos was at the Ducks. Didn't that help us get one of Schneider or Dempster?


Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

1. Austin is contracted for 2018.
2. Power says they will help players move for more opportunities.

I suggest Power let him go because
- they have enough of his type? (Like we have too many rucks)
-they want to save $$ as Saints will pay Power the 2018 salary

Nothing to do with 'not up to it'

I say it's $$ as well as he's not part of their planning as they have Curley (?) etc

He might be a young Delaney i.e. just a GOP stopper, or he might be the perfect back-up for Goddard and might even displace him.


2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

Membrey and Roberton's old clubs didn't really want them either. Look how they turned out.

We lost Fisher and ultimately Dempster who was playing out of his division at full back - as were Roberton and Gilbert in Fisher's absence with injury

And we gained Carlisle and Brown

Goddard has only managed 9 games to date - so the jury is still out

The sum result was no added depth which meant no other options other than again using Roberton and Gilbert out of their division

Hence 196cm and a defender attracted

A bit like Dawson did in days gone by

So it is a List Management decision - and you could also include that 7 and 8 will not be used on key defenders including because they may be scarce

If you like, he effectively replaces Coghlan

He has grown a bit since his original draft day. Now 198cm.
