Speculation Matt Owies

[hawkman]

We've offered him a 2 year contract. Just hasn't been reported by Cal Twomey (who despises carlton).

So only 9 goal assists difference in 2 years? I'd say that's insignificant.

Touches aren't that important for a small forward. Tackle numbers more relevant. Schultz averages more so that's probably the difference in price (2.5 Owies, 4 Schultz).

Not saying their worth the same as Schultz. But to think he's worth anything less than a second rounder is just wrong.

Disposal numbers are important as it shows which players have the flexibility to push up the ground. Schultz is not just a small forward but a half forward who can push up into the midfield. Owies is just a finishing small forward and that is it.

Valid point. I'd argue that's not what they recruited him for though. And that also probably skews his tackle numbers.

Owies is basically an undersized KPF. Does SFA when the ball hits the ground but is good for a lead up and is a good set shot for goal.

I wouldn't be chasing him too hard but he trains hard so might be good for a developing team just in terms of smarts and standards.

Eagles and Suns met with Owies according to Midweek Tackle.

Eagles have 23 and Suns 26. Probably about right.

Suns would only want to give 37 though.

23 with 31 going back maybe, he's not worth a pick in the 20s outright imo.

dont see why brisbane would be interested in owies or why owies would reciprocate any interest.

would be well down the pecking order at the lions.

Agreed for once Rye. Owies would struggle to get a game even with a couple of injuries at the Lions

Disagree. I rate him between 20-30.

Would take at the Suns, would be ahead of Holman and Berry you would think in the small forward role. Don't know how we are fitting everyone in though.

Rioli, Noble, Himmelberg, Dusty (Maybe?) and potentially Owies.
