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

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.
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.

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.

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?
bradfisher14
Not actually Brad Fisher
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

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.
