I'm not sure this is going to such an issue with him - the reason being he has a good vertical leap. Unless he is caught out of position I think he has the ability to spoil most opponents and we have already seen he isn't shy to take or attempt a hanger

Arguably the best disposal skills on the list - I'd rate him ahead of even Salem because he has the ability to hit targets over greater distance 

 

He will still be able to play at AFL level because of his leap, pace and skill, but he would have greater scope if he was taller. He got out marked by Zac Langdon last night.

 

Thanks Dazzle for posting that video you can see why Taylor and Lamb were so strong on Jake for pick 21, fast, clean and great decision maker who just loves their footy. He looks so damn confident and they made him earn his spot at VFL level, we have a lot to look forward to. Top effort Jake Bowey.!!!!!

I didn’t think we should have blooded any new players leading into September. Thank goodness I’m not on the match committee. 😅

Magnificent disposal skills and a head on his shoulders well beyond his 18 odd years (at least in a football sense). A huge tick for the recruiting staff!

Been saying this since I first saw him train at Casey. Been a huge wrap for him ever since. Has played exceptionally well at Casey, but last night sheeit he was really very very good. Can see him playing 200 games and being better than Caleb Daniels who I rate highly🤩

Don't like you boasting Picket, but your judgement call on Jake early on was spot on. Personally I didn't think he was ready - how wrong was I? Congrats on the call.

He executed a beautiful short pass in heavy traffic, between eagles players to a target in the 3rd quarter.

He sold me then, composure, good decision and first rate execution.  His HTB in last 1/4 was just a speed of the game thing and he'll learn.  Huge pick up for the club IMO


He shouldn’t remind me of Sam Blease, but he does.

Couldn’t be more impressed with his first  2 career games. Has an amazing amount of composure and he’ll learn from the HTb call in the last qtr.

Blease had more toe and a much more attacking mindset. Alas, like a lot of our 2008 to 2013 generation, he had no football smarts or work ethic. 

Bowey's brain seems to be going 100ks an hour when his body is going 15. I look forward to what he will become with another year in the ones and more development!

Was it the luminous #17 on his back, BBP?🤔

Agree about the HTB - it was as though he was momentarily back in the VFL, and he’ll go past that. As the cliche goes: looks really comfortable and composed at the level.

 

Sam Blease. Talk about PTSD. I tried so hard to forget how bad we were at recruiting, developing, playing and life in general back then... thanks for bringing all that up again.

I guess hes ok for a fanta pants. Will be a big part of future success.


Adam Maric another epic fail!

Kinda nice seeing the #17 running around in defence again, too.  Memories of Brett Lovett...

Maybe Essendon still have “some good stuff” hidden away that could make him grow another 10cm 🙄

The combo of the red hair and the #17 takes me back to the Halcion days of 2011 and 2012 watching Sam Blease light up the MCG.

If Bowey can be half as good as...

Nar forgot that, he overtook Blease by quarter time of his debut.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but did he try and take ANOTHER hanger in the first quarter?

I wonder who between he and Kossie is going to pull down the first absolute screamer. Good to watch.

The head on this kids shoulders! And what a backline full of leaders to mentor him, I'm so excited about Bowey.


Does Jakes family pronounce their last name as bow (and arrow) ey which is how Gill pronounced it on draft night or Bough ey. Would realy like to have this sorted please and thank you.

 

Yep thanks Demonstone, just watched Goodies presser which confirmed that. 👍

I reckon he may’ve broken a couple of laws of physics right there. 😆

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
