Congrats on your season thus far and good luck for the finals.

I was after some more info. on Bowen Lockwood as he's been mentioned by Geelong as a potential trade target - what's he like and what would you want for him?

cheers

From what I have know or have read....

Is about 6ft 3-4in, rather agile and athletic, good mark, good kick at goal and has a stack of POTENTIAL....

That is the label that has always stuck with him POTENTIAL but he has yet to really transform that into his play.

Negatives are he has had a terrible run with Back Problems which have taken the most part of 2-3 years to get better. He has now strung a number of games together in the SANFL this year.

In most games he has played with the power he has kicked a few goals but appears a bit lazy... as if he knows he has potential and will play good in spurts.

Rumours were around about him being out till late on the eve of games etc and the club weren't to happy with this attitude.

He was a favourite of mine when we 1st got him but has taken too long to get healthy and my patience has ran out.... especially since now Cornse is starting to step up. He still has plenty of years left in him being only about 21/22 and if he stays healthy could become a good AFL player. My fear has always been if we let him go he will turn into a star somewhere else, and he still could.

I would be happy for the club to trade him and get a 1st/2nd round draft pick in return.

I would trade for Daniel Foster
He is a Port boy

re:

Commiserations on the finals campaign.

Thanks for the info. He sounds good, trouble is we have a few of that type (Kent Kingsley, Marcus Baldwin)....

Daniel Foster will be a good player for us, only got his chance this year and starting to develop nicely.

cheers
