Traded Matt Owies - West Coast's newest forward

[Stamos]

F3rd like deal at extreme most

A week ago I would have been pretty disappointed with that.
Would take it now.

 

[BrownPaperBag]

yeah i said the same 10 posts back

My bad I only saw the most recent posts

I think the plan is to use pick 12, 34 and then use pick 66,69 on the Camporeale twins so the 4 spots left are all taken up.

I also think clubs like Essendon/North would offer more salary then you would anyway

Think Essendon is the no brainer move though

Nope

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Nope

Cant lose Stringer and not bring in a forward of some form

If that is the plan you may as well blow it all up and rebuild again

Sure you can. Watch.

If Carlton hold picks 12 and 14 for the draft they will use them both and bring in campo boys as well.

How many list spots do they have?

Owies in serious serious trouble here.

We currently have 2 list spots and 4 out of contract players.
Can't see Owies being at Carlton next year, hopefully we can get some sort of trade.

Yep, agree with you.

Would be extraordinary mismanagement from Owies if he has put a figure on his head.

Will land at North or Richmond in the draft i would imagine.

Would it? If he doesn't care where he plays and just wants a club to pay him the amount he's asked for, why would it be mismanagement?

Some chance Campo #2 gets through to rookie.

According to SEN West Coast are favourites.

Interesting as if there’s one area they’re actually pretty well stocked in, it’s small forwards.

Fills an age profile hole we have and Cripps will retire at the end of next season you'd think, would be his replacement.

Common misconception - Cripps and Ryan are more like marking medium forwards. Dewar is still quite raw.

Once the ball hit the deck in our F50, we barely put pressure on. Think we rated last or near enough to it for pressure acts in the forward 50.

Not totally opposed to Owies, probably rate him similar to Baker and the rumours are that we may part with a pick in the teens for Baker.

None of them kick goals though

Talent or supply issue?

Owies is the same as Cripps and Ryan but with less talent

Owies is like Liam Ryan? Now I heard it all

He is basically the replacement for Tyler Brockman who has been the bustiest bust that ever busted

Yes they play similar lead up marking forwards neither put much pressure on

You get Liam Ryans is a half forward and Owies is a forward pocket yeah?

You get that 90s positions don't actually exist now yeah?

Ryan when he played forward would get the vast majority of his goals as a lead up forward Owies does the same

 

[Forward Press]

Would probably still provide more when the ball hits the deck than current Cripps and Ryan tbh.

True story, don't really rate Baker that highly. Yeah, would cost more in terms of draft picks but that would be purely because Baker is younger. I rate Owies, would walk into our first 22 (like that's hard, anyway), and would not cost much.

Owies a bit that way too. Not really a classic front and square crummer. But he bobs up in the right place often enough.
