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.

    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: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
