If there was a player you would back in to win a game off his own boot, Mitch Owens would just about be at the top of the tree.

Owens’ breakout campaign in 2023 reaffirmed both that and the incredible heights he would reach if he continues on the trajectory he’s currently on, piecing together a brilliant campaign that culminated in a slew of awards both at St Kilda and across the wider competition.

With the Saints’ forward offensive missing Max King and Tim Membrey for significant periods of last season, Owens elevated to become one of the Saints’ focal points in attack, bagging 26 majors to coincide with his brilliant individual moments which oftentimes dragged his team over the line.

Owens’ contested ability both in the air and at ground-level was ranked as some of the most proficient across the competition, with both traits only set to develop even further as he consolidates himself as a vital part of St Kilda’s future.

The STK Academy product ended 2023 with the club’s Best Emerging Player Award (shared with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera), a podium finish at the Rising Star, a top-five placing at the Trevor Barker Award and a place in the AFLPA 22Under22 side.
