Logan was forced from the ground in the first quarter, after developing a sudden onset of debilitating headaches but was able to return to the field in the second half to play a pivotal role in the Power’s thrilling one-point win.
The home side led by 23 points early in the final term, but the Eagles kicked four unanswered goals to level the scores and had the ball pinned precariously inside their attacking-50 with a few minutes left on the clock.
As he’s become accustomed to doing, Logan put his body on the line to prevent an Eagles score before sprinting to the other end of the ground when Port Adelaide took possession of the ball.
He got involved in the play again, this time inside the Power’s attacking-50 and managed to shoot a handball out to teammate David Rodan, who scrambled the match-winning behind.
“I knew the scores were level and that we had to score, so I dived on the ball to try and help the team,” Logan said after the game.
“I think the two West Coast boys might have been confused as to who was going to go for the ball and it gave me the opportunity to come in and get my hand on the ball. I didn’t know it was D-Rod (Rodan). I just saw two guys ahead of me and knew I had to get it to one of them.”
The error-riddled game failed to reach any great heights until the final few minutes, with both sides struggling to execute their skills.
Logan said a swirly breeze was partly to blame for the uninspiring display.
“The conditions were harder than they looked,” he said.
“I started on the bench and thought it looked all right, but once I got out there it was a really windy and the ball was slippery.
"It was just one of those games. West Coast brought heaps of pressure and that makes it harder to execute your skills, but that’s football…it’s not always pretty.”
