Player Watch #19: Griffin 'Gus the Goose-stepper’ Logue

[Clarke is King]

Good to see Curtis eats

He's just plating up for the other boys.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Worth every cent.

 

[Psicosis]

Worth every cent.

Yeah, he's such a good get.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Better than McKay

If this bloke is 750k a year

McKay is 650-700k

 

[Ligma]

Huuuuugeeeeee shoulders, has a good aura as well.

So happy that we’ve got him

 

[King Corey]

Another one like Larkey who carries himself like a senior in a way that belies his age.

When he was telling McKay what to do I remembered he's actually the younger player.

You don't rate McKay mate?

 

[The Nostradamus]

You don't rate McKay mate?

not as highly as griff

 

[Themanbun]

You don't rate McKay mate?

I think everyone rates McKay. Some think he's a mega star though and others think he's just a very good KPD. Like Nostrils I rate Griff higher as well, but I think as a 1-2 they could be excellent.

He looks like he's had a beard since he was four though which is probably it

 

[Disco Dew]

Some say that when he was born he asked the midwife for a Mach 3 razor.

 

[berniemccarthy]

One of the first defensive contests today both he and Mackay flew. Both went the mark. Lost the contest ball went to ground and Tigers goaled. Logue immediately tells McKay he should have punched. Good call Gus.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Cleans up our backline immensely. He slotted right in and I reckon he'll have a better season than McKay. He's just a rock-solid defender.

has shed light on his high-profile trade to North Melbourne in Stan’s new AFL documentary Show Me The Money II, saying he felt unwanted and got back in the team because of luck.
The former top-10 pick, who was traded to the Kangaroos on a five-year deal last year, played 64 games in six seasons at Fremantle including a career-high 20 in 2022.
But he was thrown around in a variety of positions, omitted several times and received late lifelines when others were injured.
“You don’t have to be a footy genius to work out that out, you feel like you’re really not wanted kind of thing,” Logue said.

“There’s clearly not a place for me right now there. I only really got back in the team through luck really.”
Logue’s manager, Colin Young of Corporate Sports Australia, said alarm bells started ringing when Fremantle’s low-ball contract offer came through early in the season and was astonished by the unprecedented amount of rival interest.
“The alarm bells started ringing when we sort of asked for a contract from Freo,” Young said.
“I did mention that he would be happy to stay for two more years at the same money, so when they didn’t offer the same money and less I thought ‘we are in trouble here’.
“Griff rang me, I think it was April or May and said ‘you might have to start looking around’.
“I think we had about nine to 10 clubs ring, it was extraordinary. It was more than I’ve had for any other player.”
Logue, 24, said to Young he initially didn’t feel right about chatting with other AFL clubs and wanted to remain loyal, but Luke Jackson

’s impending arrival from Melbourne forced him to assess his options.
“I remember saying to you, I just don’t feel right talking to someone else,” he said.
“I remember feeling so uneasy about it, it’s like you’re almost cheating on someone kind of thing.”
The Stan Original Documentary Show Me The Money II premieres at 2pm on Thursday, only on Stan.

 

[Caracas]

He’s already flying the flag for us. He’s our “new Thommo”.

[Roosurgence]

McKay better get used to being roasted by Griff if he keeps up with the half arsed efforts like yesterday.

It’s about time we had someone in that backline that is ready to give blokes a spray when they are taking the piss.

Let’s hope it was a bad day, because McKay looked unprofessional yesterday with some of his efforts.

 

[ferball]

Same.

 

[tazaa]

Love that he ran in and stuck up for Ziebell after Jack went back with the flight.

Shinboner

 

[Twinkletoes]

Shinboner

Yep and for that alone his thread deserves a return to page 1.

 

[DaveyBoy123]

 

[Themanbun]

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Everything we needed.

And more.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Absolute professional. He's the number 1 down back now easily.

 

[Passmore]

Everything we needed.

And more.

Where do we get another one?

Freo got anymore lying around?

 

[Psicosis]

Will finish higher then Buckets in the BNF.
