Player Watch #6 Logan McDonald

And to think. No club rated a bloke called Errol in the top 30 picks in what is turning out to be a dud draft year.

It's hard not to think that COVID played a huge part. The only standout Victorians out of that draft are Ugle-Hagan (who was widely regarded as the best prospect anyway) and Max Holmes. The others are all overwhelmingly non-Victorians.

Probably.

But I do recall some saying Errol was too small for AFL footy.

Everyone wanted the Cripps prototype. Tall = good was (and perhaps still is) the philosophy.

Seems like he’s glad he’s signed

Feel horrible for him. Was up and about early and had a shot at immediate redemption.

 

[Superstar swan]

No shame in that last kick

 

[Arrr]

Good on him for going back without hesitation and taking the kick. Looked much more sure of himself and infinitely better off the boot.
Shame it was just a little bit pushed to the left.

 

[strauchanie59]

Would rather him take the responsibility in that situation, which he did. Got us going early when we looked off it in Q1 and the best of our key forwards today.

 

[Kennedy Parker]

would’ve been much more concerning if his first thought was to pass it off. Showed that he learned from last week by going through a normal routine

He’s a key forward, will be in that situation many times in his career

 

[tombomb]

I like that he wanted to take the responsibility, but he was 50m out and there was 90 seconds left. He should have gone back quickly and seen if there was a better option.

We’d been shithouse front & centre all night - can’t blame him.

Bombing it long wasn't the only choice at that point.

He should have gone back quickly and kicked it too…
Papley who kicks it out on the full.
Amartey who was butchering chances all game.
The revisionists who forget no one was kicking well.

Not that it’s about Logan but papley was the one that just wasted time

Logan is a one in two shot unfortunately. He is a good but not super accurate kick

I am glad he is in the spotlight now and missing shots. He will go away and practice and think and get better for when it truely matters.
Could be the making of him as a match winner in tight finishes.

It wasn't his fault.

I just think 55m out, 90 seconds to go. Have a look for a pass.

 

[The King!]

He almost slotted it, probably had everyone in his ear all week , if you get that chance again we back you in. Take your time, back yourself, it almost worked.


I did think in the moment find a short pass but then if he does that and turns it over I probably crack it for not taking it

Unlucky to be honest where as last week was crap.

He was good today compared to most

I suspect St Kilda was playing on their toes - I think it was an honest decision.

Goal -Point ratio….appalling.

Errrr..the team.

Wasn’t that your point?

No I was about certain players Papley, Amartey who were poor. Heeney took his chances in the third.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Its coming just a matter of time he slots it

 

[KingV23]

Its coming just a matter of time he slots it

Hopefully we are up by 50 by that time lol

I was talking about the game - can’t expect to win with such crap kicking.

 

[Mister B]

On a hiding to nothing. If he goes back quickly and tries to hit up a lead, chances are based on the rest of the day the mark gets dropped, intercepted or misses the target. He then gets trashed for not having the confidence to take the shot. Instead he takes the shot and gets whacked for doing that as well.
