Mitch Owens
Based on his performance last night I think there's a fair chance Mitch Owens will be Rising Star for round 2.
Not only did he kick 3 goals, but he set up Zaine Cordy with a great pass into the forward 50 running out of the mid-field that resulted in a goal.
Owens looks to me like he will become the best of the trio drafted in 2021, surpassing even Windhager and Wanganeen-Milera. At 191 cm he is likely to develop along the same lines as Bontempelli, Fyfe, Petracca as a midfield bull who can play anywhere, stoppages, defence, attack. What really impresses is his composure with the ball, so rare for a 19 year old playing just his 9th game in the big league.
In 2 or 3 years St Kilda shoulkd have both Owens and Phillipou running through the midfield, the future is indeed bright!!

Re: Mitch Owens
I'd like Mitch to align himself with a sponsor, like someone who produces something in Asia in a country like Japan maybe. Might do well for himself and our membership.

Re: Mitch Owens
Gee you go early me ole posting mate, you called Matteas as being the next Bont before he even played a game and now Owens is also the next Bont, love the passion and optimism but shouldn't we be waiting for bigger sample sizes?Sanctorum wrote: ↑Sun 26 Mar 2023 2:20pm Based on his performance last night I think there's a fair chance Mitch Owens will be Rising Star for round 2.

At least 2 to 3 years before we start making comparisons to the Bont I recon.

Re: Mitch Owens
Yeah the people who have been spotting talent since 2008 ish haven't been doing so well or have I missed some Premierships in that time?

If you can't see the impressive attributes that Owens has at such a young age, you need to go to Specsavers

Re: Mitch Owens
Absolutely has got some attributes that have allowed him to make a spectacular start to his career but so many young players before him have made a similar splash only to stall within the first 2 to 3 years and level out as GOPs.
Surely the longer we follow this game we learn not to go too early and compare players to once in a generation players like Bont even before they play their first game or less than 10 gamea...Look what happened with Sharman as a recent example.
