I reckon thats the importance of The Owl , CA. He hits targets... its just a matter of getting him the ball a bit more often than he gets it.
Yes, I am an unapologetic The Owl fan....have been ever since i saw the skills he exhibited on that predraft highlights video. He's a smart footballer, he's got vision & skills, and we need blokes like that.
Yes, hes a bit slow, and, he's been lumped defensive half forward tackling /high pressure type that we seem to value real highly at Freo, and been willing to stagnate careers via it. (Ie MDB)
I'd like to see him have a role at the centre bounce downs actually. Can't see him running with the modern midfielder, but maybe we could use his quick thinking, and skills in there to extract it occasionally.
We need to free The Owl!! Let him loose
