Traded Griffin Logue [Traded with Darcy Tucker, F3 to North for F2 PP, F3 PP and F4]

[Psicosis]

If his priority is the night-life then good on him.

Should translate well to on field for him.

90% about the money.
5% about playing opportunities.
5% about living in Melbourne.

He wouldn't care if Putin was coach as long as he kept getting paid. You can't blame him or any other player for chasing the money.

It's a pity the salary cap doesn't even the competition up even more.

The Dockers can pay him the money though

It is a lot about the playing opportunity

 

[Yeti]

Nice melt.

 

[Polo342]

The Dockers have the money to keep him in W.A

I think opportunity is the reason he named the Kangaroos

Would you pay him 700k odd a season? I know I wouldn't

Nah i wouldn't either.

This is not correct. We were never going to match that offer as he's the 4th defensive tall picked.
100% the guaranteed component of his North offer is significantly higher than ours.

Yeh but you have no idea. Flog

I agree the Dockers don't want to match it

They are able to though

If Griffin ends up at the Kangaroos on the higher money at least he has a guaranteed spot

Nice melt.

Melt?

Frankly I found your comment truly bizarre. I mean how backwards do you need to be to associate Melbourne being a far better place to “go out” to negative on-field performance.

In case you need someone to spell it out to you. “Go out” can mean going to restaurants, going to bars, going to events, and a vast range of other things (that aren’t negative), in which Melbourne offers a significant more, then Perth.

 

[DanWA]

*The Dockers have the money to overpay and keep him in W.A

I agree it would be an overpay if the reported 700k offer from the Kangaroos is true

He did provide a heap of options that worked out well in 2022 though

Big depth to let go

 

[freo_leo29]

Melbourne isn't a factor here...

If we matched the offer then he stays in WA

its about the role and money, to suggest its Melbourne is laughable


This may come as a shock but WA also has restaurants, pubs, events, a casino etc


People still think we are living in the stone ages for some reason lol

A casino

A casino

Not my cuppa tea but Casino's get a lot of traffic, I'm sure the one in Melbourne does too

What is it that you think we are missing out on in Perth?

Apples and oranges Leo, but that’s a conversation for another day.

Look forward to this deal getting done relatively quickly so that North can focus on Clark and Freo can focus on Jackson.

He’s worth two early 2nd picks. AA level defender when played in the right position. I’ll never understand the fascination with our injury prone pair of Cox and Pearce. Cox with the brain fades and Pearce spent a shitload of his career taped together. Logue had some early injuries but is far more robust. Doesn’t get rag dolled like the other two. Cox slightly better intercept mark and kick but Logue far better athlete, better versatility, better one on one body work. A huge bargain for the roo’s.

I’d hope we get both the priority pick and the future 2nd. That would be my minimum.

There is no guarantee the roo’s are bottom next year. They’ve greatly underperformed. Have a great spine with McKay, Logue, Goldstein, Zurhaar, Larkey. The midfield is building, add in Cunnington, Davies-Uniacke, Horne-Francis, pick 1, Tarryn Thomas

. They will be no push over. I’m thinking 6-12th territory.

Couple of pick 30s for Logue is a joke.

With all due respect I think it’s very unlikely that we give 2x seconds for him. We just don’t have those picks to give away with other targets (Clark being the main one) that would warrant one of those future seconds. Unfortunately for Freo the fact he’s OOC, doesn’t help.

I also think it’s unlikely we see a sharp bounce out of the bottom 4, we’ve won 9 games in 3 years.

There’s heaps of players ready to pop at North. Not dissimilar to Freo last year age wise. I would be blown away if they remain bottom.

Why are you playing an AA level defender in the forward line? If you get both 2nd rounders for him then you have done very well.

 

[rgauci]

Why are you playing an AA level defender in the forward line? If you get both 2nd rounders for him then you have done very well.

Because he’s capable of playing anywhere. We’ve got Alex Pearce and Brennan Cox who can’t play elsewhere. Same with Luke Ryan.

Personally I would of traded out Luke Ryan or Brennan Cox and put Logue in their spot. Sell high buy low, we are doing the opposite, selling Logue and buying Jackson.

I’d also have shuffled Chapman to a wing and put Logue in the backline.

Logue could replace Cox, Ryan, Chapman in our defense without any significant difference in the quality of our team.

North's team is a lot better than they played this year especially with acquisitions like Logue that fill key needs. They may not move up the ladder much as I think a few of the lower teams will improve (except GWS) but they will at least double their wins.

I tend to agree about the players ready to pop.

It is also a big upgrade if North get most of their targets (Logue, Tucker, Clark, Hill, pick 1) to kick some of the lesser players out of the best 22.

I don't expect finals or anything. But maybe 6-8 wins and out of the bottom 3.

Going to be interesting if Peter Bell ends up as North Melbourne Recruiting Manager next season

They just need a decent coach.
