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

 

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.Ā 

Owies is pretty ordinary.Ā 

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.Ā

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.Ā

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

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 seasonsĀ 

if he can run and chase then sign him up

We need more small fwdsĀ 


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 onĀ

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

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 imoĀ 

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

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andĀ  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
