    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.

    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.

    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
