If he can kick goals and has natural goal awareness, he is exactly the type we need

Welcome Matt, hopefully more of a success than our last basketballer, Matt Korcheck
But Matt Owies was a junior footballer, right? Probably says that in this thread somewhere (which i haven't actually read)

I needed a laugh like that!
But seriously, I hope he finds his mojo on the footy field and has a long career with us. We don't seem to be able to manage that with our Irishmen.

Welcome Matt. No expectations for the kid other than he tries his guts out and fights for the jumper. If he develops into a player that is senior 22 quality, then that's fantastic. Some skills will be transferable from bball but hopefully he can pick back up on his very good junior footy that he apparently played. Go well!
Oh geez I thought he was serious. Thought maybe he’d seen him at junior level. Durrrr.I needed a laugh like that!

go and re-write that re-write and do it properly this time.......
When he slots one from the boundary, Huddo calling “Owies hasn’t, Owies has”.
When he's interviewed i hope they ask why he chose Blues (over cats). Nice to hear for a change and surely will be hearing more of it in the years to come.
Welcome Matt. Going off the bball highlights i can see it happening for ya!

Surely his nickname will be “boo-boo”
Welcome Matt - sounds like a nice get from SOS's team.
Picking the Blues over any other Victorian team is a strong sign.

FWIW here are my basketball scouting notes about Mathew (albeit most from 2016)
Speed - Is seriously quick (ran 2.85 over 20m), fantastic lateral quickness and agility.
Great vertical leap for his size
Good awareness and decision making (as PG)
Enormous work rate.
Not sure what his foot skills are like though.
I also think 1.85m is a stretch (he’s closer to 5”11)

He’s been mentioned @ 183 or 185cms so far, so likely the former ‘eh?

Yes up to age 15 I think, That means he knows how to kick , bounce and handball- some of the basics that hold a non native afl player. Could be a real steal.
SOS and Co coming through again.

Welcome to the Bluebaggers
Basketball players are usually measured in shoes, so good chance he's probably 3-4 cm's shorter
