Player Watch #19: Griffin 'Gus' Logue - Welcome to North Melbourne [NM trade FP2, FP3 & 2023 4th to Freo for GL/DT/2023 3rd]

List management update

Fremantle can confirm the following trade requests for the upcoming 2022 Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period

North Melbourne has held off Richmond’s strong interest to win a commitment from Griffin Logue, who has officially asked to become a Kangaroo.

Logue requested a trade to North in his exit meeting on Thursday despite teammates trying at the weekend to convince him to stay.

He found himself out of the Dockers’ senior side on occasion this year – given the club’s defensive depth – then was used as a forward for much of the second half, but has played his best football down back.

Logue is an ideal fit for new coach Alastair Clarkson’s Roos, who desperately needed more support for Ben McKay, an intercept specialist also tasked with minding the best opposition forward.

The trade request to the Kangaroos gives Logue’s management firm, Corporate Sports Australia, significant leverage in talks with Fremantle.

Great news.

Our defence will be much improved next year.

Good height, run and ball use now in our back 7.

We have come along way in a short time from the days of JZ, Turner, Walker, et al being the mainstays back there.

Light tap on the back for saying back in April this would be the shrewdest signing for us. He's not going to win them all but the flow on effect for McKay and Corr in particular will be incredible to watch. Adding Logue and Dawson in the last few months has probably finished off our defence for a few years with depth available and knowing Clarkson likes to play off half back with runners. It's nice to think another line is looking good, especially knowing the midfield just needs run on the wing.

 

[travelli]

That's brilliant. McKay, Corr and Logue are a great base to build from.

 

[sruss]

I love doing these

 

[trooroo4life]

Once it’s over the line, I look forward to seeing Griff and Buckets build what will hopefully be a defensive partnership that will shoot us towards number 5. Will allow Corr to play smaller too which is where he done well for the giants.

I think the Corr bashers this year will be in for a bit of a surprise next year.

Well-defined third tall suits him perfectly.

Probably need 5 or 6 VFL games before he learns our systems and break into the senior line-up.
Wait and see.

PSD?

 

[Pagans Paddock99]

You watch Freo starting talking up Richmond’s interest to try and get something better than PSD…

Let’s all try to take everything we hear especially from the WA media in the next few weeks with a grain of salt. It will all be Freo propaganda to leverage a better deal than pick our 55?

Who cares if he can't dance.

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Pay him 2 million a year.


More value in that than keeping Ziebell, Mahony, Polec and Walker on the list.

 

[DuckYeah]

Did I read this correctly? A player about to hit his prime wants to come to our club? Holy s**t!

 

[Bennymate]

 

[Dumont2Brown]

Which number shall our new mate Griff wear?

 

[kool kangas]

Probably need 5 or 6 VFL games before he learns our systems and break into the senior line-up.
Wait and see.

Because Clarko is coming in everyone will be on the same page regarding our systems. He will have completely new game plans to use the players that we will have in 2023...
