cheers Jeza.

Bulldogs lead by a couple of points. They have had the bulk of the play and missed a couple of sitters.
Owies looks like he's reading the play well and has 2 nice goals.
Finnbar's mark from a superb i50 by Kennedy results in our 3rd for q1.

[jeza]

Owies has now kicked 3. A lot more involved today around the ground too.

[LoveNavy]

Nice run, bounce, and pinpoint pass by Faz to Owies.
Owies composed kicks his 3rd.
Our i50 entries are very decent compared to bulldogs.

[kruddler]

Owies' form is probably why we didn't LTI Pickett and thus use a 2nd mid-season draft pick.

This way we can elevate and play Owies in the ones.

[jeza]

No elevation needed these days (as far as I know).
His form has been miles of AFL level. 8 or 9 disposals a week.

He is a category b rookie (international or code jumper) so rules for them are different.

Ah yes - that rings a bell. Regardless - his form has been miles off so I'd be surprised if that's what drove that decision.

Blues getting crapped on now. 20 scoring shots to 6. 24 point margin.
