Rising star this week well done Bowes🥰

Edited by Grapeviney

 
  • Demonland changed the title to Jake Bowey Rising Star
 

Great work, and well earned Bowser!

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 reckon we've found one here.

Damn right we've found one.
He's a bewdy.

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.

Agree.
Gonna be the slice and dice weapon we've been crying out for IMO.

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
