    Very well deserved. Bowey is tracking to be even better than Christian Salem, which would be a rare feat.

    Just out of curiosity, what's the record for Rising Star nominations by one club in a season? I really can't imagine it being higher than our four.

    Jesus Jason Taylor is certainly churning them out!

    Well done Bowser 👏

    Think GWS had about 8 nominations in their first season.

    If I can recall, we also had 4 nominations in 2016 being Oliver, Petracca, Harmes and OMac.

    I love this kid already. We have kept him nice and secret and fresh for the finals.What a brilliant player he is going to be for us over the next decade and a half. Well done Jake! I was coach of the1973 Cheltenham High(Jake's recent School) footy team. I also coached the late and great Trevor Barker at the same school. Looks like my coaching skills live on. Ha ha. But I really did coach Trev at Chelt High.Go Dees you CAN Do It!!!!

    He’s looked as good in just first three games as I can remember any Melbourne debutant.

    I knew nothing of him before he was getting senior games (didn’t see him at Casey) but he has totally blown me away just how good he is already.

    Not sure on the record but don't think there would be many of any teams that are top 4 and potentially minor premier's with 4. Kudos to the recruitment,development , fitness and coaches.

    This kid is sharp! You can just see he's playing within himself - just doing the team things and finding his feet

    I can't wait to see him get comfortable out there

    Are you referencing your optics there @Chook or particular stats?

    My optics say he's come out've the blocks far quicker than Salem.
    I'm with Clint.

    Oh wow! 

    Well done, Jake.

    So we received 5 nominations in the AFLPA Under 22s squad and that didn't include Jake. This is a magnificent result for the club.

    How can you get a rising star nom when you’ve played 150 games?

    Yep, well done, Chelty. Great result. Milne's son was at Chelt too. Not sure what happened to him. Didn't appear to be picked up by the Saints.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.

    • TRAINING: Wednesday 18th February 2026

      A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers were blessed with some beautiful Wednesday morning weather to give their observations of one of the final open training session at Gosch's Paddock prior to our first practice hit out against another team this weekend.
