More info on Tom Logan

He was picked up originally by the Brisbane Lions in the 2003 AFL Draft, at selection number 49 overall. He made his debut for the Brisbane Lions against Port Adelaide in Round 2 of the 2005 AFL season. His two years spent on the Brisbane Lions list were injury ridden. He only played two more games for the club before being delisted at the end of that year. At the end of 2005, Logan went back to South Australia to be with his parents, and while in South Australia, was given an offer to train with Port Adelaide over the pre season. He was given a lifeline by Port Adelaide, as they picked him up as a rookie for the 2006 AFL season, on a one year contract.

Power player Gavin Wanganeen retired from AFL in 2006, and Tom got his chance, elevated to the senior list because of Gavin’s retirement. He made his debut for Port Adelaide in Round 15 against Geelong, and played 8 games straight before the end of the season, kicking the two goals.

He was upgraded to the senior list for the 2007 AFL season, and played the first 4 games of the year. He then didn’t play a game until the round 21 match against Geelong, where he helped Port Adelaide stop Geelong’s unbeaten run of 14 straight wins. He was kept in the side that beat Fremantle the next week, and West Coast the week after.

In the 2007 Preliminary Final, he kicked 2 goals and had 23 possessions in an almost best on ground performance, helping Port Adelaide to reach the 2007 AFL Grand Final. A loss to Geelong in the Grand Final made it a day to forget, although he did manage to score 1 goal.

He generally plays as a midfielder, his best attributes being his work ethic and endurance running however he can also find plenty of the football in close and is a good tackler.

Before getting drafted by Brisbane, Tom played for Warratahs in the NTFL where he made a name for himself as a tough midfielder.

Its questionable, he had a good finish to the year which should leave him in good stead but there are many youngsters who would love to take his spot, I think the pre-season will be very important to him and that he stays injury free.

If I was a betting man I would suggest he would get as many games as in 2007, still very much a fringe player.

he does have one thing that we have been lacking and thats toughness
this attribute may see him get more games in 08
i like the way he plays
honest, hard and has some good skill.. reminds me of Jared Poulton

i've heard he's been ripping it up in the preseason, any chance of getting a regular game?

He'll get a regular game but he won't spend alot of time in the midfield unlike Port's last NAB Cup match where he did...Nice to see you're doing some research Jolldo...;)

Both he and his Brother Sam played for Federals FC in Alice Springs before moving to Darwin and playing for Waratahs in the NTFL.
I think their Father may have been a School Teacher?:confused:
