So he got pissed at a best and fairest in the off season.
I think they are warranted in this case. Especially if some of them travelled a long distance just so that their kids can meet their idols , only for it to be cancelled at the last minute . Think any parent in that situation would be absolutely furious

No one forced him to accept a paid gig at clinic the morning after.
This wasn't a club clinic, it was a private booking he accepted.
He's pretty obviously a selfish flog. It's nothing unusual for a young person to not be a particularly good person, but he most certainly isn't. Lacks impulse control and cognitive reasoning capacity.

I'm fairly confident most parents would be able to separate their reaction in front of their kid and their response to them and their feelings about the situation.
Every chance they told their child "it happens, we'll try go to the next one, it'll be ok" but then felt frustrated with the club and were simply venting said frustration on the radio.
To be fair, I'd argue Hawthorn, Watson and Ginnivan deserve the flak. It's not 1987 anymore. This is a full time professional business with a lot of money involved and they need to be better.
If nothing else, those two players have potentially cost Hawthorn long term money. Kids are pretty fickle about their footy clubs these days and turn very easily. Ditto for whom their favourite players are. There's every chance that a few of those disillusioned kids go on to support someone else which potentially means a lifetime of membership and merchandise dollars going to another club instead of Hawthorn.

Our last back-to-back was 88 years ago.To be fair, that team was an awesome team and apart from the Machine, we’ve never been a Dynasty team. Not even Back to Back

So Owies wants 700-800k a year and that’s why a deal hasn’t been done. 
18 year olds via draft are cheaperSo Owies wants 700-800k a year and that’s why a deal hasn’t been done.
"Carlton forward Matt Owies is at risk of being out of the AFL completely in 2025 due to clubs’ unwillingness to stump up a significant salary for the small forward. Owies, who booted 33 goals in 23 games this season, is out of contract and exploring options at rival clubs, with the Blues prepared to lose him. But some clubs have suggested he could struggle to find a home this off-season, with Owies’ asking price believed to be around $700,000-800,000 per season on a multi-year deal."

What a stupidly worded paragraph.
Sure, he/his manager want 700k+ but if he doesn't get that, he's hardly going to be out of the AFL completely
I'm sure he'd end up remaining on a list even if one single team offered him 300k per year.
Lol he is kidding"Carlton forward Matt Owies is at risk of being out of the AFL completely in 2025 due to clubs’ unwillingness to stump up a significant salary for the small forward.

Buy an overpriced little flog week
I love it, I’m with NMBB on this, couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch, may they keep pert forever, he’s doing a wonderful job.
Blues fans on Twitter laughing at us for Perryman and this showboating campaigner values himself the same….."Carlton forward Matt Owies is at risk of being out of the AFL completely in 2025 due to clubs’ unwillingness to stump up a significant salary for the small forward.

Sorry Owies. IGA out of brown paper bags."Carlton forward Matt Owies is at risk of being out of the AFL completely in 2025 due to clubs’ unwillingness to stump up a significant salary for the small forward.

There’s so many Clubs that should take that dealSo Owies wants 700-800k a year and that’s why a deal hasn’t been done.
Owies has averaged 1.4 goals a game over the last 2 years. Thats elite for a small forward.
700k seems market value for elite small forwards.
700k seems market value for elite small forwards.
Can't just look at goal average, too contextual, and there's a lot more required of small forwards than that. The fact that Blues don't have great small forwards and don't want him tells you something. I don't see him as an elite small forward.
