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

[DarkPhoenix]

Surprised if he doesn't find himself in the leadership group next year.

Doing everything right since coming across.

 

[The Nostradamus]

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

Yep easily, provides more leadership too

And gives a nice benchmark as to how much McKay is worth

 

[Themanbun]

Will finish higher then Buckets in the BNF.

He'll win it IMO.

 

[Val Keating]

Such a great get by the club.

Griff, Buckets, Corr, McDonald make a very solid defensive group, then Jack giving us plenty as a distributor, and once Thomas comes back, probably around Rd 3~5 with Goat, Cheezal & Hall giving us the rebound on rotation it’ll be our strongest line.

 

[Val Keating]

Will finish higher then Buckets in the BNF.

Maybe, but without McKay he doesn’t get to play like that, without McKay he stands the tallest forward.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Will benefit from having Corr in the side as well. Hope he gets the freedom to intercept as much as possible because he is such a good reader of the play and has good skills.

I reckon he’ll finish top 5 in the BnF this year.

I reckon he’ll finish top 5 in the BnF this year.

Finished just outside of our Top 5 despite missing four games for us last season and spending about a third of the time out of position. Probably a safe bet to place well for you guys this season

Probably most exciting thing is similar to Pearce, both struggled with injury early - so you're still looking about 18-24 months away from 100-ish games and Logue really hitting his peak. Hell Pearce is only set to play his 100th this season (touch wood).

Looking forward to seeing Logue be the player he hoped him to be this season as the No.1 or 2 down back.

Geez, I wouldn’t have thought Logue would’ve placed that well in Freo’s
Mainly because he spent a bit of time forward. Thanks for the insight.

Both he and McKay will hopefully be peaking at the same time, as they both are around the same games played.

He's such an amazing pick up and hopefully Freo did well enough with the picks they got to be happy also.

Held a handy lead until late when he picked up that groin issue, but no shame losing out to the League's MVP or Cox/Pearce who are both guns in their own right.

I've got no ill-will for him, wanted to be the man down back and makes a better paycheck than we could offer. Similar to Neale a few years back and he's done alright for himself. That said we've probably done the best we could of with the situation, perks of alot of young talent fighting for spots - something I'm sure you'll go through soon also when you're back on the rise

Don’t remind me of Brennan Cox. I was so sure of him being an elite key defender that I had him in my top 15 in the 2016 draft. North were linked to him in the lead up to the draft and we ended up picking Declan Watson and Josh ****ing Williams with our two picks in the 30’s. Both of which were delisted within 3 years.

That has to be photoshopped.

Stevo sat down behind the coaches box after the match vs. the tigs and there is no way his arms looked that big - maybe it's the tatts on his left arm that create an optical illusion.

That's a brutal one in hindsight. If it makes you feel better you were dead on with Cox, I rate him probably as the best CHB in the comp. Just shows how much nailing the draft can really set you up for success. From the 2016 draft we grabbed great core;

1. Logue
2. Darcy
3. Cox
4. Ryan

Anyway getting off track. Best of luck for the season

Why the bear emoji? Logie Bear? I get it’s a play on yogi bear but shit it’s a stretch

I’ve seen him refer to himself as that in a video Freo put out a while back.

You're doing it wrong. You're meant to say 'Ha, suck s%^t NORF so many spoons in a row hahaha'

Personally I think Logue will flourish being the gun of the back 6 and will help develop those around him too!!!


As for Fremantle, I'd rather see you win your first flag than GoDees, Tigers, Cats, Swans etc who seem to always be sipping from the cup of success. Good luck!

I used to work with a bloke who has the beard etc. and his wife bought him personalised plates with the word "BEAR" and maybe a number or something. He used to say he got a lot of sideways looks and the occasional wink from men in other cars, NTTAWWT.

Freo and their fans are awesome. Second only to us of course.

Buckets has his head up his brothers arse. Griff has his head firmly fixed above his shoulders

 

[Samsquanch]

Ahahahahahahahahahaha

Actually, LeG, he was rocking the same look as you. A beanie required for crisp Melbourne mornings.

But I'm hoping your wife doesn't call you "The Bear".

Mate, Griff can’t play like that without Buckets. You know that yeah?

 

[DuckYeah]

He can do that with a rookie full back.
