Traded Matt Owies - West Coast's newest forward

[pressurepoint]

I'd be ecstatic with that. Imo a fair chance of being delisted if no suitors come forward.

I doubt that. If there’s no suitors, there’s a spot for him I thought. Especially if CFC moves on S Durdin and J Carroll. He will just be on a contract on our terms

 

[Aussie_boy]

They seem to be tight for list spots and all those guys are contracted

How the hell did Orazio manage to get a 2 year deal? His manager should be taking half of that.

We are desperate for list spots to bring in other players

 

[tiger_tough]

Much better to salary dump Durdin to Tigers and keep Owies

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

He's 28 in March and is a short 1 dimensional player

He has his limitations, but 60 goals in the last 2 seasons, over 41 games, while playing next to 2 Coleman medalists is a decent return for a player who was drafted as a cat B rookie.
Certainly doesn't hold a lot of trade value and a pick in the high 40s would be a reasonable return.
Will never be a star, but will be a consistent player for a number of years.

Yeah puzzled why no interest.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Yeah puzzled why no interest.

Would've been the top goal kicker at Collingwood this year with his 33 and top 2-4 at just about all other clubs, except Lions and Swans.

800k for Owies????
Bloody no wonder we've told him to piss off

Not even Charlie and Harry are asking for that much more comparatively.

He'd be lucky to get 500k let alone 700-800k bloke must be delusional

Would be one of the worst contracts ever given out. Not even Polec to North was as bad as that.

 

[Stamos]

It can't be true.
That's laughable.

Guaranteed to the kiss the jumper of whoever he plays for as well.

I'd kiss more than a jumper for 800k a year..

Someone should remind Owies what happened to this bloke.

Who dat?

Agree. No way that’s true.

 

[boncer34]

Who dat?

Xavier Richards.

 

[CCurnow3votes]

Xavier Richards.

Ok - still not registering.

Point taken - although Mr Owies has kicked 60 goals in his last 2 seasons.

Did Xavier ever come close to that?

 

[Philth]

Agree. No way that’s true.

Surely not.

I rate Owies though. Sounds like he will go for a bargain pick.

Who's in the market for a decent small forward?

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Agree. No way that’s true.

I almost want it to be though.

Purely to laugh at the delusion

No but Xavier knocked back 2 years at Sydney to chase money on the open market only to end up playing Sydney Premier League footy because nobody wanted him.

Who is Owies's agent?
