Traded Matt Owies - West Coast's newest forward

[CatToTheFuture]

Both id say. The pile on for small forwards in recent years is very odd. Some very good ones in the lower grades if you try hard enough to find one

Mannagh went through how many drafts?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

 

[MarcMaverick]

Owies should ditch Bain immediately. Or get picked up in the DFA.

Why?

Why?

IDK, damage to his reputation maybe.

Its all messed up.

His manager didn't do it though.
The Herald Sun made it up.

 

[HavUEvaSeenTheRain]

it’s almost as if someone was taking the piss out of the reporter and he actually ran with it

 

[Mister Carlton]

Bye Matt.

 

[Vindicater]

So how much does he really want?

 

[branedotorg]

i'd guess at AFL average, 400kish

Made it up or was it fed to him by Carlton? It seems strange that no Carlton fans are concerned at losing him when he was your 3rd best forward? The cap squeeze must be big at Carlton.

not money, list spots.

4 players currently without a contract this year vs 19 OOC next year.

Why would our club leak that?
It doesn't help us at all.

100% this

No pressure on Carlton for letting him go if the 700-800k report was true. Once a quote like that gets out, it’ll keep getting repeated no matter how many times it’s denied.

It doesn't help with getting a trade for him though, which would be by far our preferred option.

I think it has zero impact on the trade. List managers are talking to agents direct so they know what he wants, they don’t read something on social media and then won’t take their calls.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Still thinks he finds a suitor at the end.

I reckon Essendons waiting on Stringer to leave to make a move
I also could see North coming in still if they miss on Daniel/Houston

Ideally before Wednesday night.

You will get basically nothing in return.

F3rd like deal at extreme most

still useful, we have two NGAs next year that project as 2nds at best

It would be an acquisition just for the sake of it. We have Paul Curtis that does what he does. If he was more of a crumber and forward pressure type he’d be a good target but he really isn’t that

I just don’t think clubs will offer much , I mean the alternative is Carlton need to re-sign him but the list spots are why they haven’t yet

yeah i said the same 10 posts back

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

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
