He hasn’t kicked goals but his forward pressure and ball use has set up plenty of scoring opportunities.I have been strong on Eddie retiring, has been teaming well with Martin, Gibbons but I think his time has come and we should celebrate his career and I would be happy to employ him as a skills coach and doing PR work for the club.
Owies seems to be developing into a very good small forward but, if he gets a game, it’s more likely to be at the expense of Fisher or Gibbons.
It is a healthy sign that we have a couple of players pushing for selection for several spots. It’s also a healthy sign that we’re not rushing new players into the 22 but are allowing them to develop. I don’t think that too many of our youngsters will be looking for spots elsewhere, particularly with reduced lists on the cards.
If we do secure a small forward of note I dont see how with reduced list sizes we can keep him on the list..
