Player Watch #6 Logan McDonald

[bedford]

Injured are you? I had you pencilled in for half back

Played golf at Corowa Thursday with a walking stick as an aid

 

[Neverwas]

Listened to replay of Cox interviewed on SEN this morning. Not sure of how to to attach it on here. Hinted at using one of Amartey, McLean and Logan behind the ball with the arrival of Curnow. Could only be Logan. Interesting.

I'm starting to think the guy is a screw loose.

Soooo I take it from your recent posts that Big Cox isn't one of your favourite people?

But that was purely to keep the snakes away from your line

Given Logan has missed so much footy (he only played once this year, on managed minutes in one VFL game on April 6), I wonder if they give him a run in the 2's for at least a couple of weeks to get some match fitness back into his body?

If he gets a full pre-season I suspect the match sims and pre-seaosn games will be enough

Happily never saw 1

I wouldn't think so. Its not like there's not a whole preseason ahead and the usual practice. And hes also had that special program to work on with that expert. He'll be primed and ready to flourish

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

What I’m really waiting to see is the size of Logan’s guns. Below is what he should be aiming for - hope Billy Knowles is onto it.

Strong hands for marking the ball.

In share trading terms - diamond hands for holding on.

Cox said in the interview last night with SEN Logan will start the season forward, but then on top of that be a strong player between the arcs; decision-making, execution by foot, and adds a point of difference we missed in 2025.

What he was doing when he got hurt

Not if he is thinking that those 3 will be playing back, because Amartey doesn't have the tank , Mc Lean is too slow and McDonald is a far better forward. I think most on this board would agree.

 

[Superstar swan]

Sounds like the perfect role for Logan.

He has improved his tank out of sight since he was drafted and is a lovely kick

 

[Jeffers]

I assume cox means put Logan back as a spare tall in defence at the end of the quarter like Sam Reid

to solidify the defence. Surely not full time.

It's not always that easy, genetics plays a big part in it and you don't want to rush the build.

Logan is naturally big through the thighs and hips though.

Play to your strengths, I wonder if some sort of acceleration/burst type training would be beneficial to him. He should have heaps of power through the big kaboos. Tbh I don't want him to get any bigger through the upper body if it reduces his speed &/or endurance. I think Amartey is more comparable to Thilthorpe size & I don't think Logan suits that size.

He has strong game sense and a good footy brain. Looking forward to a big year from him.

Mind boggling isn't it

That he is big through the thighs and the hips?

Interview with McKirdy

“As cliche as it is, I’ll play wherever Coxy wants me to play...

Whether that is forward or back at times, or wing or ruck, I’m just happy to be back out there playing. The past 12 months have been rough, and I’m grateful to be back out there with my best mates.”

Very mature outlook. No chance he won't be the #2 KPF, he complements Curnow really well whereas Amartey is more similar. With McLean more likely to play second ruck Amartey is the bloke at risk of missing out.
Please just play him as a forward.

 

[Punts]

Don’t mind him going in the ruck if needed

Still hate the idea of 4 talls in the front half

Game has gone past that , it’s a pressure game now.

 

[Dan87]

It's got to be team first not Logan first. Has the makings of a good utility imo

If he becomes a dominant forward all good but roaming between the arcs taking some ruck contests and playing a kick behind in the last five mins are things that need to be done
