Yeah he kicked 33 goals this season but that was it. He’s a one trick pony who has no other positive attributes as a footy player. 

Yes and most of these came from precision ball movement from Carlton mids who put it down his throat. Out midfield, ball movement is very different... He's not able to create much himself out of contest.

I'm sure there's a few reasons that Carlton is happy to move on from him.

I think he's greatly benefited from playing alongside Curnow and Mckay who draw all the attention which has allowed him to play off of them and find space and time

He does kick straight I'll give him that and is a decent mark.

I'd like to concentrate on other players ahead of him.

    Well said. 

    Just because he kicked 33 for Carlton does not mean he will come and kick 33 for us.

    Rumours appearing online stating that he has agreed to join Demons.

    Nothing official.

    Edit: Still nothing filtering to any media outlets. This may just be supporter filled lies.

    Bedford was still a developing player who wasn't given the opportunity to solidify a place in the team. From what he showed at Casey, he always had far more upside than Spargo. Unfortunately Goodwin liked to stick fat with the 2021 Premiership players regardless of form, instead of grooming the next crop. We are paying the price for that now.

    I reckon Bedford would have been a walk-up start to our best 22 in 2024 and that it was part of our plan. We offered him a competitive contract so clearly weren't trying to offload him. I think he's an excellent pressure player and has that rare combo of being speedy and an endurance beast. He's also performed well as a tagger. The major downside is that he's a small forward who can't kick for [censored].

    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.

    He always kicks goals against the Dees.

    If he doesn't play against us on that wet Thursday night this year, we go 12-11 instead of 11-12.

    Kept bobbing up for goals when we tried to make inroads on the scoreboard in the second and third quarters.

    Watching those highlights he looks very handy, I reckon he'd be a great addition.  Let's go get him!

    Way better prospect than Caleb Daniel.

    Josh Gabelich who's across everything confirmed that we've met with Owies. But so have a number of clubs including Brisbane.

    Is understood to be poor defensively which is why Carlton aren't in a hurry to re-sign him.

    Yeah maybe.

    Owies coming in to replace Kozzie isn't exactly a mood improver.

    There is not much in ability between Bedford and Chandler but Bedford is a more  standard type half forward and has wider skills and can tag. 
    Chandler is stronger and tackles and competes harder but is not as skilful as Toby. 

    Spargo is better than either but Kossie is easily the best but if more time is put in with him he could go to another level I believe.

    • 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 and  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 lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
