Are you sure he's so highly rated by the players? From what I understand, someone overheard Hamling and Hughes at Cicerellos recently, discussing their thoughts on the best back 6, and neither gave Logue much consideration.

Why, for the love of all that is sacred, would two players go out into a public place to discuss the dynamics of the team and the merit of including particular players in our defence? That's what mobile phones and the privacy of your own home is for!! I call bs.

Him + Amiss would be sah good.
Mmm so 2 guys not in the best 22 talking about whose spot could they see as gettable..
Logue shuts down mobile forwards ( Curnow) and small forwards (Charlie Cameron) regularly and has done so whilst providing intercept marks and rebounding.
I don’t get the whipping boy effect on here.
I understand what you are saying Docker82, but it’s not like every team has just 22 quality player and then only developing fringe players from 23-41 on their lists.
Top sides in the AFL have 28-30 players that can easily play in a flag winning side in my opinion and can all be called best 22.
The Dees are a good example of this scenario. Probably the Lions too at the moment.
An example of the type you refer to who was pushed out would be Patrick Lipinski at the Dogs, who only played 5 or 6 games for the dogs last year and moved to the pies for that reason because he was clearly behind the other dogs midfielders.
If Logue spends 7 or 8 weeks in a row in the WAFL your point stands.
But he won’t. He’s going to play at least 18 games this year if he stays fit. More if we add a couple of finals.
That not a depth player.
Overheard Hamling and Hughes…..
Hamling is a lock down KPD with very average disposal and can’t get o. The park for the past 2-3 years.
Hughes, tries hard - always has but he has zero game sense and is prone to massive brain farts.
If either of these two didn’t rate Logue- I wouldn’t be bothered if I was Griffin Logue.
My take on Logue, he is absolutely required and after Cox our most flexible defender, he has accountability to a big name player every game.
Pearce is subject to injury over his career and Chapman has played the loose defender in his career thus far.
Logue is grunt and solid as, sure he has the odd disposal fcuk up but so do all of the others- I reckon Luke Ryan has had mor flangers this year than Logue - no one talking about him as being average…

Rumour has wings and takes off.
The cicerellos story was a piss take on another poster (can remember who) supposedly having overheard our current back six talking about Logue.Gawd I love big footy.
Don't equate conjecture about a yet-to-sign player with wanting to trade them.
Logue works in the part of the ground where we have the most list depth. That he may be traded is a topic for discussion, not just here but in other boards and I'm the media.
Also, we have thrown up trade targets who would require a significant cache of picks or players to bring in. If you want to discuss Jackson coming, it inevitably leads to discussion of someone like Logue going.

How many players on our list are guaranteed best 22? In other words who would never not be in the side if they’re 100% fit. It’s far less than 22 players. Probably more like 15-16 at most.
There’s a difference between being guaranteed best 22 and being in the next 10-15 on a good list that are constantly fighting for their chance every week. Logue so far this season is clearly in the second group.
For someone like Logue playing every single week and earning an extra 50-100k might by a greater opportunity too good to refuse. If he plays every game left this season he’s available I expect him to stay and if the club considers Logue a required player (I believe they do) I expect them to make that happen.
Richmond lost plenty of players at their best that weren’t ironed on best 22. Until recently though they always had enough kids coming through from underneath that depth wasn’t a problem the next season.

The players Richmond lost are not comparable to Logue.
Relatively speaking, Logue is a better and more talented player than guys like Conca, Brandon Ellis, Jacob Townsend, Callum Coleman Jones, who were all pushed out the door at Richmond due to better offers elsewhere.
The only decent player I can think of that left the tigers in recent years is Chol and he’s still probably a bit unproven.
I think freo will pay Logue what he’s worth and it will be pretty similar to what others are offering. His stocks have also risen since the season started. I’d argue he’s in career best form right now.
Ellis is a pretty decent player to let go but otherwise agree.
We’ve also got to look at retirements and delistings. I’m sure Melbourne would’ve loved to have given Jones and Vendenberg another year but the salary cap made that too difficult.
For us Nathan Wilson is someone that probably won’t get another deal. Mundy won’t play forever either - he might play next year but every season he plays on the less likely he is going to the season after. Doubt Hamling gets another deal at the end of 2023 either. There’s a bit of salary cap space right there.
I knew it was fake because nobody orders crab sticks anymore!Rumour has wings and takes off.
Gawd I love big footy.
JVR kicked 6 goals last week in VFL
If he doesn't get spot in Melbourne's best 22 regularly, can we try him end of next year?

It would be negligence not to.
You could see him hanging around in the freo changerooms after every home game. Obviously a big freo kid. Need to lure him home
Isn't he a little undersized for a KPF
Undersized with poor athleticism.
From what I saw last year though he’s a smart footballer so there’s a chance he makes it. He does not however possess anywhere near the level of skill and athleticism Amiss has. Amiss has a few cms on him as well.
Shannon Neale is also kicking a few goals in the VFL. Let’s wait to see it more consistently for both. I’ve been wrong about players in the past.

I will have to tune and have a look at him on the VFL live stream. He’s in the Melbourne system so his S&C will be excellent.
The debate on our board between the 2 players was robust. I was pleased we picked up Amiss but would have loved JVR also. If we can get JVR back to Freo end of next season than let’s do it. I think however Melbourne will be to astute for that.

Thanks for the response that's really interesting. I think there'd be a lot of clubs across the league watching Logue closely. A top talent who hasn't cemented his spot in the team.
I read the Fox article where he was pretty categorical about wanting to stay in Perth which has to be good news for Freo.
It makes you wonder if he doesn't cement his spot in the 22 what his contract is worth? I'd expect a few clubs may offer more than Freo would be willing to in that scenario.
