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.

    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

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
