Traded Matt Owies - West Coast's newest forward

[The Nostradamus]

The 27 year old small forward is out of contract.

In good form fresh off 3 goals on the weekend.

One to keep an eye on as clubs could offer more

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S 27!!!???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE'S 27!!!???

Mature age rookie came across from basketball in the states. Or are u more referring to his giant Buzz Lightyear chin?

 

[The Nostradamus]

Apparently yet to be offered a contract

Good consistent player, best word I'd use for him is reliable. Not an elite pressure forward or goal kicker but can do both at a reasonable standard.

Took a unconventional path to the AFL, wouldn't have been paid too much in his career up to this point so I couldn't blame him for looking after his family. Would suck for Carlton though given our young small forwards haven't really fired a shot this year (injuries for Motlop and regression from Durdin). Not sure what kind of compensation we would get, at least more than we got for Zac Fisher

I'd think.

 

[perplexed]

Carlton claim that they want to retain him, so they announce that they haven't offered him a contract yet. Makes no sense, unless they are shopping him.

We need to sign Dekoning before worrying about players like Owies

Of course. And it is important that other clubs are fully informed of this.

We can solve your Owies problem for you then

Going to Geelong would be career suicide for Owies. Would be about 14th back in the pecking order for small forwards

That's not the solution I was talking about

I'm aware

 

[Vindicater]

Could end up with a big payday as the only free agent left.

He is not a free agent

My bad.

Really hope we can hang onto him but he will have better offers that will be tempting for a bloke who hasn’t been on an above average contract so far. Obviously not elite but he’s turned into a very competent small forward who I think will only get better. 5 good years of footy ahead of him, didn’t take many knocks from age 16-21 pursuing a basketball career.

I am surprised he doesn't have a contract offer in front of him.

He is the type of playing you should be signing for 3 years.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Still no contract offer for Owies. Surely a few other clubs make an offer.

Carlton small forward Matt Owies will have to wait for a contract offer from the Blues in the post-season even as his remarkable season continues with another brilliant effort in a crunch game.
The Blues are to keep their options open even if it increases their chances of losing Owies to a rival club as they sort through their small forward pecking order.

Owies kicked three goals against West Coast to take his season tally to 32 from 22 games, trailing only Charlie Curnow

among Blues goalkickers.

Essendon had at one stage been linked to Owies but they will secure NGA pick Isaac Kako, who is a bustling small forward.

So the Blues are content to hold off, not ruling out a contract offer but holding tight for now.

is also set to receive a contract offer and while suitors had been keen on him he has broken down in two of the three games he has played this year.

It puts his future into doubt despite his huge potential in the rare times he has put a string of games together.

Carlton small forward Jack Martin is also set to receive a contract offer and while suitors had been keen on him he has broken down in two of the three games he has played this year.

Did they make a typo here?

Why on earth would Carlton offer Jack Martin a contract over Owies?

Woeful list management, if true.

 

[Stamos]

Did they make a typo here?

Yes.
Should read "yet to" not "set to"

 

[bzparkes]

Yes.
Should read "yet to" not "set to"

Right, that makes far more sense.

Thought the same and almost put a hole through my screen. Thank God it was a typo
