Griffin Logue is hopeful he won’t waste any more time out of the Fremantle lineup, targeting a round one return following a missed season due to injury.

In an interview with The Sunday Times, Logue said he his sights set on playing a full season for Fremantle in 2019 to improve on his experience gained in 2017 where he played 13 games.

The defender showed plenty of promise in Friday’s intraclub practice match lining up on the likes of Jesse Hogan, Rory Lobb and Matt Taberner in the hitout.

“It was definitely good to get back on the track in an intraclub kind of format,” Logue told The Sunday Times.

“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 said he’s enjoyed the challenge of training on the Freo’s imposing tall forwards this pre-season.

“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,” Logue 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 said he’s gained an added appreciation for the opportunity ahead in 2019 following a difficult year.

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