Jake Bowey Rising Star #2

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,863]

Very similar to Rivers in that he hit the ground running on his debut and looked absolutely comfortable at this level.

[DubDee 25,921]

Some players are just naturals. Size doesn't matter when you have speed of mind and great skills.  Can't see this bloke getting flustered and I cant see him being dropped.  

I thought he would have come in earlier but we rightfully gave Jetta the chance early and made Jake earn his stripes so he was 100% ready to be successful

Great drafting, development and selection MFC

Love the nickname Bowser! Love this kid, looks a damn good pick up.

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!!!!

A high school? Well that won't be mentioned in the channel seven coverage by BT and Brayshaw!

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.

Even the great Ron Barassi had to have a few goes before he made the big time. And boy was it ever big time!

[Nascent 9,219]

Makes me excited to see Laurie in action next year. The recruiters seemed equally bullish about his skills and footy IQ.

You just missed on having me as your teacher by 30 plus years. Great school Chelt.

His name is Bowey as in Bowser, not Bowie, as in David. It wouldn't be a particularly apt nickname, hence the nickname Bowser. :P

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.

Couple that with All Australian records. We could break both 

[Wrecker46 2,997]

The worst thing about this nomination is it ruins his odds for next year.

Well done Jake  wonderful start to your career at Demonland. Many great years ahead for you and our team.

He looks like being a better player than his dad !!  

I suspect in years to come people will refer to Brett Bowey as Jake Bowey's father !!

Thanks for killing the dream. But he'll always be David to me.

I can't wait for Bailey Laurie to get a gig, like the way he moves. I reckon he'll be as good or even better.

That lightning handball to the peripheral did it for me. That sort of handball only happens two or three times per game..

[deespicable me 1,487]

I know people compare him to Daniels from the dogs but I think he is more like Parish from Essendon. Both great players and we would be happy if he becomes anywhere near as good as those two. 

I think his next level in a year or two is into the midfield. He is very quick.

Well I doubt if he ever qualified to attend one.   (Nobody seems to claim him 🤭)

Quick - not only on his feet, but with his hands and mind.
