No, no and no……another average player who doesn’t chase, harass or run. Faaaaaaarrrrrrrrkkkkkk!

    Yes from me: always seems to be one of the Blues most dangerous small forwards no idea why they’d let him go actually

    I'd rather Kennedy out of the Blues camp but he might be an improvement over the likes of Billings and Spargo.

    It would be sad to see Owies leave the Blues. He is a bit of an enigma as a forward, has definite limitations as a footballer but yet still has a good goal scoring record. He isn't really a crumbing forward, he moves into open space to take marks and is a solid kick for goal.

    I think the market will pay him more than he is currently on at Carlton and the Blues want to reserve cap space for Weitering, TDK and maybe some new incoming trades. That is why he is being allowed to explore his options

    Definitely would not be a flop inward trade like Billings. Owies will earn his keep.

    Exactly why we would look at Owies

    Agree about Kennedy. 

    Owies is pretty ordinary.

    He even looks [censored] in the best guernsey in the comp. When our jumper doesn’t make you look better it’s a massive warning sign.

    Yes for me. With Goodwin's gameplan of bombing long into forward line, we need small forwards who can hit the scoreboard. Massive upgrade on Spargo and Billings.

    Bingo. He's the anti-Nibbler. Just sits there with his mouth open waiting for opportunities on goal to fall in.

    To reiterate - the reason he scores so many of the Blues' goals is because he is nice and fresh from not doing two-way running while his teammates are getting worn out trying to cover the hole he left.

    Blues fans I know are basically adamant that the team will be better off without him.

    Has scored 61 goals 25 behinds in last 2 seasons 

    if he can run and chase then sign him up

    We need more small fwds

    I've always disliked Owies because of his annoying in-your-face over-celebration after every goal as if he's just kicked the sealer in the Grand Final.

    However, I could probably warm to him if he did that five or six times per game for MFC.

    Why have Mcadam then?

    Not sure what you mean mate?

    Different players. McAdam hasn’t come on

    Well, not all that different. Both smallish forwards in their late 20s who lead to space and don't feature much with pressure. 

    Doesn't mean I'm not keen to hear the differences though.

    One of the poorer suggestions yet. Apart from kicking the odd goal I don't know what this guy offers, surprising to see so man people here keen.

    This is like @WERRIDEEs post in the other thread RE Goody.

    He kicks goals. They're handy in football.

    Maybe we can trade Fritsch, pick up Owies to do that job for cheaper and use the bulk of the draft picks leftover to go get a proper 2 way forward.

    Huge and unnecessary risk imo 

    Get our system entering F50 fixed and Fritta will pay us back in spades

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
