Called it early about Owens. He's going to be a superstar. Unbelievable presence, skill and he's still a kid. :D

Can we put the foot down here and deliver a belting?
Owens is a gem.

Like Dud, I am at an Easter function. Banged up in hospital for the second year in a row for me :? .
At least I have been preparing my thoughts since 3:00AM when I got here. This was our danger game, everybody expecting us to win after not paying proper attention to what the Suns did to the reigning premier last week.
Lyon summed it up well on Foxtel pre game when he said "if we compare them player for player they've got us covered for talent. But if we get running with our team game...."
Before quarter time I had butterflies. But we shut down Rowell - 7 possessions to half time, the same as Crouch and Winhager. Who is playing on Rowell? Buy the man a beer.
We are now killing them for clearances and inside 50's.
Make sure you watch Windhager's gut running past Ben Long (who?) to mark and goal. Watch Owens' 100% efforts every time. This is St Kilda 2023 style compared with the past decade of mediocrity and false hope.

Yep, not sure how we are 4 goals up.

Currently winning ugly
Perhaps your guide dog could enlighten you.

The lad is a bull. Just so strong and throws himself at everything. Stamped himself on every game this year. Will just get bigger and stronger and smarter.

The most dominant quarter of any team in 2023.

Marshall subbed out - hope that’s just to give him a spell.

Howard is so frustrating to watch. He's one of very few who continues to make annoying errors.

I’m positive before the season someone on here was writing Owens off saying he wasn’t anything special.

Kid is a gun! 😁

We were impressed with him on his debut last year.

Owens BOG for mine. As much as I've loved watching him tonight I am enjoying listening to Dermie, quite correctly, singing his praises.
