I don't think its a case of Carlton wanting to push Owies out, think it is more a case of Owies seeking a larger salary on tne back of a good season. I suspect the Blues are happy to keep him if he re-signs on a similar amount to his current contract.

Yeah, it was discussed on SEN this arvo by Josh Jenkins and Adam Cooney plus another dude. He's apparently asking for $700Kp.a on the back of one decent season. The above rated him at 400-500K, hence the lack of interest.

He could be a handy replacement for Nibbler?🤷‍♂️

Not one bit. He’s an opportunistic forward who refuses to defend and do the hard work. He’s the anti-ANB.

If anywhere near true, that’s just ridiculous. He should thank his lucky stars that he has Curnow and McKay with him. The Blues forward line compliments Owies and this season, made him look much better than he is. In most other teams forward lines, he’s never coming close to kicking the amount of goals he kicked this year.

Owies problem is that he’s a 179cm one paced marking forward with no exposed midfield form.  Doesn’t have the speed, defensive pressure or ground ball gathering ability of small forwards de jour.  Means in an era when speed and spread is prioritised he is seen as a limited contributor.

Spargo is a hack, and was playing for Casey last year. If he wasn't contracted, he'd be delisted. I haven't given up on McAdam.

Nah.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    2024 Player Reviews: #40 Taj Woewodin

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    The clever small was unable to cement a place in the Melbourne midfield and spent most of his time this year with the Casey Demons where he finished equal fourth in its best & fairest.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s

    2024 Player Reviews: #27 Marty Hore

    The versatile defender who can play as a tall interceptor and also take on smaller opponents got his second chance this year but injuries prevented him from getting a regular place in the Melbourne team and managed to add only seven games to his AFL tally this year. Recently signed on for another year in 2025. Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 7 Career Total: 20 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  1 Games CDFC 2024: 7 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    THE HEAT IS ON by Meggs

    FNQ will be hot and sultry this Thursday night when the mighty Demons take on the highflying Hawks at up there Cazalys Stadium in Cairns.   The Demons once again rebrand for Indigenous Round as ‘Narrm’, the Woi Wurrung name for Melbourne in the language of the traditional owners.   Narrm has surged back up the ladder and sits just outside the eight on percentage with 5 wins. Our opponents Hawthorn sit second with 8 wins and have been become really offensive.
