Top-10 draft pick Griffin Logue appears poised to begin fulfilling his promise after putting his injury-ruined 2018 behind him with a bright showing in Fremantle’s intra-club game on Friday.

Logue, 20, played 13 games in his debut season in 2017 before missing all of last year with a congenital foot problem.

The dashing defender, who has shed his trademark flowing hairstyle as he prepares to re-launch his career, has set his sights on playing a full season for the Dockers but said he would not get ahead of himself.

“It was definitely good to get back on the track in an intra-club kind of format,” Logue said.

“I want to try and edge towards round one, that’s the ultimate goal. Then get 20 games under my belt and have a good season.

“But right now I’m just going to take every week as it comes and make sure I’m doing whatever I can each day. There’s still so much I need to work on and I know that as soon as I’m out there there’s different things I need to do.”

Logue rotated through tall forward trio Jesse Hogan, Rory Lobb and Matt Taberner in an eye-catching performance, in a scratch match where coach Ross Lyon matched his best defenders up against his premier forward line.

He could find himself in a shootout with versatile youngster Brennan Cox for the third tall defender’s spot ahead of the Dockers’ season-opener against North Melbourne at Optus Stadium on March 24.

Logue said he wanted to be able to play on any opponent and the recruitment of Hogan and Lobb had helped him hone his one-on-one skills against genuine power forwards.

“I feel like I can go between two, either talls or smalls. I think I’ve had a pretty solid pre-season and I’ve done a lot of it as a key back playing on the talls,” he said.

“It’s good to play on the three big boys obviously throughout the pre-season and it’s good just to train with them for the whole year. It gives you a taste of what it’s like in the real league as well.”

Logue has completed a full pre-season program to this point and said his foot had not given him further trouble after opting for surgery last season. He was hopeful his foot problems were now behind him.

“(It’s been an) uninterrupted pre-season touch wood so far, so happy and definitely not taking it for granted, that’s for sure,” he said.

“I was pretty much on a full program ever since the off-season last year, which was the goal. That’s why I had the surgery early, so I would be on a full program like all the other boys. At the moment I haven’t had any problems with it so it should be right.”

Ruckman Sean Darcy didn’t finish the game and had ice strapped low on his left hamstring, which assistant coach Anthony Rock said was a precautionary measure.

Darcy appeared to be moving well when he left the club’s Cockburn base. The 20-year-old’s availability for Fremantle’s season-opener is crucial, with veteran Aaron Sandilands already expected to miss the start of the season with his ongoing calf issues.

The Dockers will take on Collingwood in Joondalup tomorrow week in their first game of the JLT Community Series.
