Player Watch #6 Logan McDonald

[TheMase]

Well, I didn't believe that orthotics would make any difference to a player, but now I stand corrected.

Neither but it was this article that he mentioned it, more his running than speed specifically.

“But they’re actually pretty important for me at the moment, those orthotics, because I don’t think I’d be running too well without them, to be honest.

“It probably sounds a bit weird, but, in all honesty, they’ve helped my running a lot, too, and just make you run a lot more structured.”

"Swans fans have nothing to worry about"

"For as long as I can"

Did everybody miss that?

"For as long as I can"

Did everybody miss that?

I interpreted that to mean, "For as long as they'll have me."

There's no point a 21 year old who has played 24 games talking about being a one-club player "for the rest of his career" because he has no idea what the rest of his career will entail, and there's no point looking that far ahead. He could still end up a bust who we decide to trade by the time he's 25.

I think it showed humility and a level-headedness as to where he's at.

I think you take anything a player says with a pinch of salt.

What else is he gonna see " yea I like it here but I'll be heading home at the end of this deal"

"For as long as I can"

Did everybody miss that?

No, do you know what it means? It means he wants to stay at the club as long as he can, i.e. as long as the club wants him.

So far bounced back well from last years unfortunate finish.

One day he will kick a goal without then mentioning some buddy apprentice s**t

That goal that started in our defensive area where Gulden received the ball out on the flank, then kicked to Heeney, about half way, who then put on the after burners when being chased, and then kicked that ball in front of McDonald, who ran into goal and kicked a gimme......I want to see more of that!!.

That was a great display of logans improved running power

Logan has built up the tank to keep up with his positioning instincts. It's fantastic to see. Let's hope it continues with Buddy coming back

Dwayne refers to him as "the understudy", and I hate it.

 

[rustycrate]

Wayne refers to him as "the understudy", and I hate it.

Edited for accuracy.

No one does

 

[Dan87]

His development is flying under the radar. Great first month

He's got it all sorted just about imo

 

[The King!]

he was pretty average , needs to do more , solid start

i mean one goal was a bs free

First fours games of 2023, Logan is our top goal scorer with 10 goals so 2.5 goals per game is not a bad return.
