Happy to give this kid a go. If he can lock down an opposition forward without being a complete spud going the other way, then there could be a place for him in our lineup.

[Doctor Feel]

Ya jokin cant believe he didnt go higher!

 

[RossFC]

Logan Evans signs on an 18 month contract.

 

[Jonts]

Eh

Two things I wanted
An addition to the Maggie's in the leadership and competitiveness steaks

For whoever the pick is to only be a 6 month contract

Bugger

Logan Evans signs on an 18 month contract.

Why the **** 18 months. This is bottom of the barrell shit. Why on earth

 

[Peninsula Boy]

Good luck to the young lad but I've got PTSD from the MSD.

Is he in any way related to Francis Evans or even Greg Evans?

 

[It Just Is]

Looks like he can play a bit.

Can never have enough good ball users.

I'm confused, aren't we meant to draft an undersized midfielder, and then play them as a small forward? I'm sure the MSD rules clearly state Port must do this.

Its ok we will play him in the ruck

Welcome Logan "Tommy" Evans

 

[JimmyBC]

Good luck to Logan I'll have to see him at AFL level to make any assessment, the SANFL side is such a mess it's hard to make calls.

 

[TazD]

Gun. I'm glad we've rewarded his growth this year with this selection. I tip my hat to Coach Hartlett.

Nah, give the guy a fair go. If the recruiters see something in him then it's only fair he gets a preseason and some time to adjust. 18 months should be standard for mid-season draftees.

So being a mid-season draftee is better than getting rookie listed at the end of the year (12 months).

For a club that hasn’t won anything in 20 years at any level. It’s remarkable how many solutions to problems are already under their noses.

Having said that, good luck to the kid. I guess.

This isnt how high performance works though, and as others have pointed out its at odds with rookie contracts.

The club is far too nice here.

 

[HugeJohnson]

Maybe helps put a bit of pressure on Burtons spot?

Burton should have been reverse drafted and out into the MSD

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Unleash the EVANS boys

 

[Ford Fairlane]

No surprise. Was confident from pre-season he would get picked.

As I said before, don't mind him. Tall and skilled. Still young and needs experience to learn to defend one on one but expect that with young players.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

His highlights look fine. There are afl traits there. I cant imagine he will be pushing for selection in the next 6 months. See how he goes next year.

 

[gbear]

Its ok we will play him in the ruck

Sadly under donuts and co that is not out of the realm of possibility!
