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

    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!

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

    Surely this kid's nickname is "David" ?

    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

    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..

    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.
