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.

 


More midfield Kossie!

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.

Precisely.

Huge and unnecessary risk imo 

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
