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

[Harlott]

It’s great watching this 18 year old grow in confidence each game. Can’t wait to see what kind of player he becomes.

 

[Powerade 08]

Cant b tackled.

Me too. Already directing traffic in the backline and offering way more defensively than Burton.

 

[davo999]

Yes good game again tonight, rarely beaten

 

[snozulu]

Where was this gem hiding the whole time and why did we overlook him in the draft?

 

[Marmozet]

Looks like a casual 100+ gamer.

 

[PortAdelFC1997]

Good luck trying to get back into the team Burton.

This guy is ****ing amazing. How the hell did he fall to mid-season pickup?

Our recruiters have a very good eye for talent, they must receive some credit for this too. If he doesn't pick up a rising star nomination this week I will make myself throw up and post the evidence.

 

[sobrave]

He's only 18 years old lol. Already putting in very good performances. Amazing pick, howd he miss out on the main draft?

 

[davesnothere]

Imagine this kid with a decent preseason under his belt.

We obviously burnt picks last year on Ratugolea and Soldo but we have balanced it out here.

 

[ahneadearut]

The kid is amazing for his age. Absolute gem. Great players always seem to have time and space. Love him already

 

[MALTSY]

Could imagine this kid developing into a Dawson like player and move through the midfield. Can’t wait to see him after full preseason

He's already impacting through the midfield, I've noticed a few times already he's come up to the centre clearance from half back and helped win the contest.
As long as he stays accountable defensively this guy will be a real weapon

 

[Jojay]

Has to be the rising star nom for this round surely

Like everyone else thought he was not quite there but should have been on someones rookie list. Playing with maggies was like being on an unofficial rookie list.

 

[pastmyprimus]

Some rookies take time to develop. He’s looked like an AFL player from game one. Has a very bright future.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

If there was an AFL most improved player award he would win it by a mile.

From not selected in the draft to this would be one of the all time one season turn arounds.

[It Just Is]

Incredibly clean below his knees.

It will be interesting to see if he develops into a midfielder in the long run.

Imagine this kid with a decent preseason under his belt.

We obviously burnt picks last year on Ratugolea and Soldo but we have balanced it out here.

We are very luckily, ideally we didn't burn those higher draft picks for Rat, Soldo and still got Evans with a mid season pick.

It's unreal how for such a young kid he's seamlessly fit into the AFL and doesn't look to be tiring. Hopefully the club manages him well to keep him up and running for finals.

 

[Progressive Aggresion]

Considering how cursed our recent mid-season pickups have been, it's refreshing to see someone who's actually had instant impact and for only an 18 year old with what I hope to be a big future ahead.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Such a bizarre one. Garbage in the SANFL, picked in the midseason draft to everyones chagrin then straight in and not looking back.

When will people learn that SANFL form in a highly compromised, ever changing team has little to no correlation with what a player is capable of at AFL level playing in a more consistent structure with better teammates?

BIg reason why people shouldnt be so hard on the selection of mac and cheese.

 

[Sewer de Lance]

Ginniver must have an eye for talent because I remember him talking up Logan Evans before the mid season draft.

We snagged Robbie at pick # 55, & the Hoff at # 71, but this kid will go down as one of the biggest steals of all time.

100%.
Evans and Sweet both written off by an elite few before playing a game for us.
Very quiet now.
