is an elite coach and he would know exactly whether Wolverine is ready to go or not.

He will need weeks.

He has a history of hip injuries and I'd be pretty disappointed if he was rushed and broke down again. I'd give him a month to build up at least.

Good luck Logan!!

Retro week end with the 2004 jumper; replay "Logan's Run" it was a good sci-fi movie & then a TV show

Good luck Logan!!

What's Ken's obsession with playing mid season recruits a week or 2 after we draft them

I suspect he’s the one who pushes for us to take them, and then has to justify it by picking them

 

[Doctor Feel]

If you are in the Dixon/Chad Cones clique you have very different rules applied to your form and selection.

I actually had to think hard about who our defensive line coach is. Tyson Goldsack lol

 

[Blinky Nyland]

Good luck to Logan Evans. It's amazing that he has debuted before all of the other draftees from the 2023 draft. He's slightly built at this stage, so I hope doesn't get brushed aside too easily. He moves well, can take a nice mark and is a good kick most of the time (some poor ones last game when he seemed to change his mind mid-kick). I'm not sure how he goes defensively but it's a strong vote of confidence to be selected when we could easily have gone back to Lachie Jones.

 

[Gryllis]

Sure looks like Finlayson sub, just to give a tall sub a third try this season to be really sure it doesn't work.

 

[longdonkey]

Apart from the obvious - money and the security of long term deals - why free agents/experienced recruits want to keep coming to Port is beyond me.

The amount of players that plateau at this club is startling.

Soldo would have come here thinking he was the clear number one, at Round 15 he’s rotting in the SANFL. An indictment on all involved.

I've been saying for a couple weeks that I thought Soldo was playing injured. Tonight has just confirmed it for me.

It's Lycett all over again. So much for learnings.

Imagine busting your gut for the Magpies all year only for McEntee to get picked religiously and Evans gets picked ahead of you after being at the club for 2 weeks..
FUKCIN PUMPED!

Who actually fits this definition of busting their gut for the magpies all season?

Yep name names

 

[Coobk001]

Logan Evans. Hahahahahaha.

What the **** is going on within those 4 walls at Alberton. Imagine being a teammate, wanting to win, and you see Logan Evans gifted a game. He's not just a midseason draftee, he's a pick 100+ from last year's draft that didn't get picked and has really shown zero onfield since. How could you not walk out thinking you're going to need to carry the team because of players like him to have a chance.

Imagine being BZT and Rata who are struggling enough, and now you're having SANFL reserves level players chucked in beside you against one of the best forward lines in the comp.

Just baffling.

Hey I hope he goes well and becomes a star, but this is absolutely mind blowing stuff.

Maybe you could trust it or have some confidence in the selection group if they hadn't also been the same group that continued to pick Teakle, continue to pick McEntee, and also tied their success to Sutcliffe and his terrorism.

Embarrassing really

 

[Coobk001]

Surely Logan is sub or something?

 

[Izzy01]

what will it take for cheese to get dropped?

Concussion

 

[TeeKray]

Concussion

That already happened in round one. Half of you flogs were celebrating rather than commending him for putting his body on the line in a way that many others in the team (including the captain) wouldn't.

 

[240volt]

People complaining we don’t give the young guys a go and one gets selected and they still complain.
It’s not like anyone in the Port Magpies is killing it.
Hope the lad does well.

 

[RossFC]

Hopefully Logan Evans isn't taking kick-ins.

[yepits2020]

It’s because they realised that Ollie Lord can’t ruck for sh*t.

How the h$ll did they need a game to determine that Lord is useless in the ruck. Not used as back up in the sanfl - Scully was used.

 

[Willsy10]

I don’t mind the changes.

Sinn isn’t good enough to come straight back in but probably will after getting back some touch at sanfl level so Evans is probably just warming that seat, or he could surprise us.

Sweet for soldo is good, soldo must have some injury issues because he was absolutely hopeless last weekend and sweet absolutely dominated in the sanfl.

Finlayson had to get picked, he is frustrating as hell but too good to be playing sanfl and we desperately need more weapons up forward and avenues to goal.

Rioli a pleasant surprise to be fit and ready. Missed him.

Concussion

The chances of Ken getting concussed is pretty remote.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

Unpopular opinion but defensively we looked way better when Basset was in charge. He did it without BZT and Rat too. I wonder what we would look like if he'd not be scapegoated for last years finals debacle.

Most people here wanted Bassett jettisoned into the sun

 

[Nemisis]

A Big statement... I reckon Logan Evans will be our best ever mid season draftee.
Seriously the lad is going to make it. Has AFL traits.

 

[True__Believer]

That's kind of the point of the midseason draft right? Plugging an immediate hole. Only problem is this was not a hole we need plugging

 

[Willsy10]

And Voss too.

When in hindsight he was the one internal promotion we let slip.

And Bassett could’ve stayed and been a serviceable line coach, along with Schofield, Carr and Montgomery.

And Hinkley, Cornes, Luke Kelly and Goldsack jettisoned into the sun.
