Former US College basketballer Matthew Owies impressed at the Northern Blues as a small forward, slotting 18 majors from 17 appearances, highlighted by a five-goal showing against Footscray. Owies pleasantly surprised coaching staff with his progression to the point where he was named a senior emergency. In 2020, don't expect him to leap that hurdle and progress any further, as he sits way down the pecking order with the influx of new talent. Avoid.

Recruited from US college basketball, Matthew Owies's last contact with footy was two seasons starring for St Kevin's as a junior. The fact that Owies will have to fight his way off the rookie list and would play a role not conducive to fantasy interest makes him irrelevant in drafts.
