Will be his fourth VFL club after stints at Essendon, Willi and Sandringham - quite a handy player
Frankston have announced that Kai Owens will be stepping away from state-level footy to pursue opportunities outside football.
Sort of knew this was on the cards in last 2-3 weeks about Kai, confirmed tonight. He was great for our club wish hi: well in future.
For our Frankston posters, we encourage for people to come down to Frankston training at Kinetic Stadium, to see how our squad is preparing for season 2024.
Training times: Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:30pm to 7:30pm, Saturdays 7:30am to 10am
It's unfortunate to see him go, but this is a semi-professional comp after all. Sometimes things will come up in a player's life that have to take priority over footy. It's a shame we couldn't hold on to him for next year but wish him all the best.
Definitely planning on getting down to training this week. Will most likely be there Saturday morning and hopefully can make it down on the Thursday night.
Shame Kai is moving on. Would have loved to see him stay. Didn't think he was much chop when he arrived but he worked hard and the improvement came. Unlucky not to be drafted this year. Hopefully we will see some more decent recruiting to replace the talent that has departed.
Saw on the club's Facebook story that Max Williams is at training tonight, which is encouraging to see. Never saw any club posts saying he's re-signed but if he's still at training then you'd think it's at least a possibility. Really hope he stays for next year.
Kai Owens has signed with Mornington in MPFNL for 2 years
Could be worse. At least we're not losing yet another player to Williamstown.
Annnnd I've jinxed us haven't I?
