Stats
Bio
Recruited from the tiny Mallee township of Torrita, Jack Logan was a post-war key position prospect who added height and structure to the Footscray forward line. Standing 185cm, he operated primarily as a centre half-forward known for his dash and determination to crash packs. His commitment to VFL football was best exemplified during the 1948 season, when he undertook the unusual logistical feat of being flown down from Mildura each weekend to compete, a rare and expensive arrangement for the era. Despite this significant effort to retain his services, Logan’s time at the top level was relatively brief, managing 31 games and 14 goals over three seasons before concluding his VFL career.
