Matt Owies\u2019 days at Carlton are done, according to Sam Edmund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The out-of-contract small forward was told to explore his options as the Blues struggle with list spots and salary cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edmund believes the 27-year-old former Category B Rookie could be traded as soon as today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s definitely one of the more intriguing stories for me of this year. He doesn\u2019t have a contract offer at Carlton for 2025 and he\u2019s kicked 33 goals this season and 60 across the last two seasons,\u201d Edmund told AFL Trade Radio<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe won\u2019t be going back there (to Carlton), he\u2019s done at Carlton, that door is shut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe\u2019ll be going somewhere is my mail and in this trade period. He\u2019s got a couple of options and he needs to make a call and that call could come today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s been reported that he\u2019s met with Gold Coast and West Coast, but he will be traded as soon as today. Won\u2019t be going back to Carlton. That ship has sailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHis days at Carlton are over and it\u2019s happened very quickly. It\u2019s in many ways hard to believe. It\u2019s not a money issue. They think their small forward future is tied into the likes of Jesse Motlop, Corey Durdin, Ashton Moir they want to get games into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cList spots are super tight as well as finances. He was just out of contract at the wrong time. If he was contracted, they wouldn\u2019t be shopping him.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Kane Cornes believes the Blues could live to regret letting one of their leading goal kickers walk out the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think he\u2019ll be an excellent addition to another team. West Coast could do with anybody with experience and hardness,\u201d Cornes said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI really like the way he goes about it. He\u2019s a really important team member and often puts himself out there when others aren\u2019t prepared to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think Carlton will miss him. I really do. I think he\u2019s an important piece to what they do. It\u2019s hard to just pick up 33 goals off the street.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Matt Owies\u2019 days at Carlton are done, according to Sam Edmund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":139808,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10578,35],"tags":[11406,993,8],"class_list":["post-139807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-afl","category-breaking-news","tag-carltonfc","tag-melbourne","tag-victoria"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
