Trade Rumours 2024

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

John Noble ha to be the most overrated player of this trade period. That trade would still effectively be pick 23 for foot soldier Noble.

Pick 6 being on the table for Dan Rioli is also blowing me away.

Meanwhile Neal-Bullen, who is just about the most valuable tradee in terms of role, was only pick 28.

It's a crazy world. I wish one of our guys wanted to go to Gold Coast.

Noble at best is a third rounder as far as I am concerned. The turnover king who was dropped for the GF

HUGE ASKING PRICE COULD LEAVE BLUE OUT IN COLD

Carlton forward Matt Owies is at risk of being out of the AFL completely in 2025 due to clubs? unwillingness to stump up a significant salary for the small forward.

Owies, who booted 33 goals in 23 games this season, is out of contract and exploring options at rival clubs, with the Blues seemingly prepared to lose him.

The 27 year old has met with multiple clubs, including West Coast and Gold Coast, as the trade period begins to heat up.
Officials at rival clubs are expecting Owies? asking price to be around $700,000-800,000 per season on a multi-year deal, but his management has not engaged in advanced talks with the clubs yet.

The Herald Sun understands Carlton won?t offer that to Owies and is yet to formally put forward an extension.

It could result in Owies becoming a delisted free agent and signing where he chooses if he can find a suitor willing to pay a premium for the forward.

It would be a fall from grace for the Blue who has enjoyed the most productive season from a Carlton small forward in the past decade, kicking the most goals in a season since Jeff Garlett booted 43 in 2014.

While Owies is coming out of contract, Carlton has the services of Jesse Motlop (contracted until 2025), Orazio Fantasia (2025), Corey Durdin (2026), Elijah Hollands (2026), Lachie Fogarty (2026), Zac Williams (2026) and Matt Cottrell (2027) all locked in.

Of that group only Orazio Fantasia, who has played 114 games, has kicked more goals in his entire career (150) than Owies has kicked in the past two seasons (60).

But despite Owies? goalkicking form in the past two campaigns, Carlton is prepared to lose him for nothing.

The Blues are expecting injured forward Jack Silvagni to return to full health during the off-season and there are high hopes for 2023 first rounder Ashton Moir after his late-season debut.

Blues list manager Nick Austin said on Monday the forward enjoyed a strong 2024 campaign.

?He has kicked a lot of goals. He has had a good season. Our front half is going to look a little bit different next year,? he said.
?Jack Silvagni missed the whole year ? we want to get some games into Ashton Moir as well. We felt like he showed some things late in the season.
?We have a lot of faith in Jesse Motlop and Corey Durdin to come through.
?They have had some injury troubles this year, but we need to create a pathway for those guys to step up and take more responsibility.?

Sam Durdin, Jack Carroll and Matt Carroll also remain in contract limbo, with the Blues yet to re-sign or delist the trio.

$700 to $800k - he has tickets on himself

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

$800k is crazy money for a very limited player like Owies.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Who does Matt OWIE money to, to be demanding such a ridiculous salary?

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I won’t play next year for less than a million.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Can't blame Owies for trying it on with Gold Coast, those guys love to splash their AFL supplied cash like a kid in a candy store.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

How many players in our club are getting Owies money?

Bont, Treloar, Naughton.
English reported to be around 800 wasn't it?
Macrae?
Daniel?
JUH reported to be on a lot for next contract.

Weightman, Richards, Jones, Libba, Lobb, Bailey Dale all on less than what Matt f***ing Owies is asking for!! Great laugh!

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

That’s so awesome from Owies. I’m gonna try that at work.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

Collingwood offering Noble + future 1st to gets Suns' pick 13 & 23.

Carlton offering a future 1st & future 2nd for Suns' pick 13.

Geez I hope the Suns don't fall for either of those offers.

$800k is crazy money for a very limited player like Owies.

This isn't even an optimistic valuation and he has leaped into crazy town.
He deserves to miss out all together unless he comes to his senses quickly.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

When I looked at the article I saw 700 - 800k over a few years, I thought that's a decent price but I looked at it again and saw per season!?! Good luck with that Owies.

To be fair to him, goals are an under-appreciated asset by AFL clubs.

What would we pay for a Tory Dickson right now? I'm not saying Owies is that, but 40-goals last year (or near enough) is no joke.

Re: Trade Rumours 2024

I dislike Owies annd his over the top celebrations.

But he has a knack for being in the right place at the right time and he stayed on the park for 23 games, unlike most of his teamates. He also brings energy and spark to the game.

The money he wants is overs, but you can?t find those goals easily. He has some value for sure.
