Kick a 1000 mate!!

 

[Blacky]

very happy

 

[MF]

Looks like he could be the total package as a forward... Great hands, physical, good at ground level, reads the play well and a great kick.

 

[Jeffers]

Ohhhh yeaaaaah!!!!

 

[Superstar swan]

Fantastic pick . Could not be happier

For someone who has no time to keep track of draft prospects, what’s the low down. This seems like a good pick from what I have read.

 

[Kiama Chris]

TBH he didn't seem all that thrilled. The furthest west he could have been is Port.
Maybe he's a quiet fella.
Hope he settles in and kills it.
#4 in the draft ain't chicken feed!

 

[Cadsky]

Very happy we took Logan over Denver. Welcome to the swans.

I got that impression aswell.

We have taken the risk which I agree with, but eagles and dockers will already be into him. Need to extend him asap

 

[wills2g]

Instantly our best forward

 

[TheMase]

Stoked to get him. Expected us to target a tall, ideally forward. I never really considered this bloke would be available though!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Good result, esp with Phillips gone.

Please, please Horse do not chuck this kid down the backline.

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Great get. Anyone doubting this choice has rocks in their head. He was low key the one I wanted but I didn’t honestly expect it.

He could be a Coleman medalist or bust, we won’t know yet, but can’t fault the club for this choice. They selected the number one KPF in the draft instead of a wishy washy mid or some out of nowhere pick.

Isn’t that what most of us were a screaming for?

I think we will all agree that even if it doesn't work out you can't fault the pick in hindsight. Lowkey great selection.

 

[ScottBo]

Welcome Logan, hope this is the beginning of a great Swans footy career for you.

If we pick up McCartin as well as McDonald, is it Big Mac and Jnr Burger? We already have a Hamburger according to some posters.

Might just be his personality.
Heard him interviewed on road to the draft podcast and he was the same. Just a subdued temperament kind of bloke.
Was never going to end up in Perth anyway.
Great pick-up.

Instantly our best forward

Hey what about Sammy R...

Oh never mind..

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Best player in the draft that was a live selection. Very happy, got the one I wanted

 

[caesar88]

Whether you rate him highly or not, or wanted a tall or a mid, I don't think anyone can argue with the logic of using a top 5 pick on a key forward.

 

[GoTheSwannies]

I hope he lives up to expectation and has a long and distinguished career at the swans. He was the player most wanted so gotta be happy with that?

 

[caesar88]

Photos of John, Paul and Ringo in their Swans guernseys to come.

 

[Dan87]

I want Beaston to tells us how much of a chance he thought McDonald was to slide to us.

 

[Jack2Jack]

Stoked with this pick, our Key Positions stocks were in desperate need for an injection of top end talent and talented KPF's are like gold. Can't believe he actually got through.
Definitely the right call no matter the outcome ends up in hindsight.....granted the risk is all that much easier to take when we get a local free hit at the very next pick.

 

[caesar88]

I want Beaston to tells us how much of a chance he thought McDonald was to slide to us.

It wasn't entirely a surprise. Twomey seemed convinced we'd be in a position to choose between McDonald and DGB. He gets good mail from us methinks since he also called it being between Stephens and Flanders last year.

I'm guessing if an AFL journo thought it was a realistic scenario, Beatson would've known it was too.
