Player Watch Mid-Season Pick #12 (2024) - Logan Evans

[Flash of power]

Big fan!

Just needs to shave those fking sideburns!!!

I have no interest in his facial hair, it is his feet and hands I care about, and those don't need to change

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Don’t care there’s a crow comparison but I’m sticking with my Ben Hart vibes.

I see different players
Hart was a genuine back pocket

I see Evan’s as a true HBF.

Not the worst comparison though and hopefully can be half the player Hart was.

 

[The_Sheek]

Ripping game today. 22 disposals, a couple of memorable marks. The one hander was jaw dropping. And another goal.

Has looked right at home since debuting.

He bit off a tough kick to the corridor right after this mark and nailed it.

Houston 2.0

 

[Tibbs]

Hugely impressed with him. Really consistent, and seemingly getting better each week. Looks comfortable & confident in his place now, even giving out orders in the backline.

Seems like the early Top-10 draft predictions on him might not have been a furphy!

 

[yepits2020]

Fifth game today. Of these, three good games and today an outstanding game. Must surely get the rising star nomination this week. Should stay in the team now irrespective of who becomes available.

 

[jackag24]

Surely gets the nod for the rising star this week. Hope he keeps his place since he actually has shown some defensive accountability unlike a certain player cough cough Burton.

Keeps his place? He'd be my 4th or 5th picked defender

 

[El_Scorcho]

This guy rocks. Strong in the contest, strong hands, attacks the ball and plays bravely with ball in hand. Chuffed for him, taking his opportunity with both hands.

 

[Visenfest]

We’ve got a good one here.

Is this true, Which draft year?

 

[DaTBird187]

Kid's a ripper, hopefully this game earns him a rising star nomination.

Thanks Mr Evans. Your lads good at football it seems.

 

[Addy23]

Is this true, Which draft year?

Last year, kid is 18!

 

[HugeJohnson]

Few people early in the thread who were up in arms over an 18 month contract with egg on their faces now. He's a lock in the side already.
cough Doctor Feel cough

 

[davesnothere]

Don't know why but I look at him and I see Robbie Flower. Might just be the the skinny arms shoulders and he has time and space when he has the ball. Put him on a wing and see how he goes.

We burnt a decent daft pick on Ratugolea picked up a 1st rounder for nothing. Swings and roundabouts.

 

[pastmyprimus]

He’s an attack minded defender. Kept hitting higher risk targets in the corridor last night. Also likes to push forward. Has kicked 2 goals in 4 games. A small sample yes but you can tell there are more goals to come

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Greatest MSD pick in history.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

I wanted to see him play live before posting my judgement, which I did against the Suns.
I thought he was one of our best in a disappointing lose. So good to see he backed up his game against the Tigers.
Kudos to club for doing something right & poaching him from Nord, shielding him away from the oppo AFL scouts.
Growing up playing footy in the eastern suburbs & for the Redleg juniors in Crow heartland he could have easily been drafted by them.

Kid got game.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Evans and Bergman in the back 6 with Houston and Williams with Jones makes Farrell expendable in the defensive 6.

 

[sobrave]

Already a better player than Josh Sinn

 

[yepits2020]

Greatest MSD pick in history.

Only if he wins the Brownlow this year

 

[yepits2020]

Evans and Bergman in the back 6 with Houston and Williams with Jones makes Farrell expendable in the defensive 6.

Williams? Please. Something needs to change before you can include him as an automatic 22/23. And we are hoping Sinn is the player we want him to be.

 

[Chewy316]

So composed in both 1v1 defensive situations and when he is using the footy particularly by foot.

The form he's showed to date is akin to what we'd hope for from any first round draft pick.

 

[JakeNeadeFan]

Evans and Bergman in the back 6 with Houston and Williams with Jones makes Farrell expendable in the defensive 6.

Farrell is a much better player than Williams and it isn't even remotely close

 

[Rising Power]

lol'd during the footy show this morning when Kane was talking up Logan Evans' game last night. Throws to footage, first play shown is Logan, second play is Frank, third play is Frank...

 

[Peninsula Boy]

With Evans and Bergman doing well down back, it really will be interesting with the player mix down there as we have a heap of players looking for spots.
