Griffin Logue sidelined until January after shoulder surgery
The 28-year-old suffered a shoulder injury in a non-football incident and will miss contact training until January.
North Melbourne's Griffin Logue has undergone full shoulder reconstruction in the AFL off-season. The injury happened outside football and will keep him out of contact training until January.
Logue's timing sets him back as he enters pre-season under new coach Jaymie Graham. Logue had a mixed year with the Kangaroos: a hamstring injury early, a month in the VFL, then a recall for the last five weeks that ended with 16 games played.
He enters the final season of a five-year deal signed when he joined North from Fremantle in late 2022.
