(great work Jake, may you have a long, injury free career with us)

What excites me most about Jake is his quick decision making. He knows what he’s going to do with it before he even gets the ball.

A lot of our ball movement seems ‘rushed’, whereas with Jake it is ‘quick’.

The man and his team are friggen geniuses, strike rate is through the roof.👏👏👏

I would love to see a page just on this topic , JT and his team have done such a brilliant job through the drafts since he came to the club 

I believe JT,  PJ, Goodwin and Roosy all came to the club the same year

A pity he chose the Weid ahead of Harry Mackay. 
 

Imagine having him in our forward line 😍

Gee it would have been something,  I've said it before on here probably his only miss, we would have been extremely happy campers with Harry McKay in the ranks. 🤬

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 !! 

Looks that way ,i know his mum Dee would be so proud,went their wedding hottest day ever and the aircon broke down at the reception

Bump, just in case, to save us starting a new thread!

34 disposals, 16 contested possessions, 10 intercepts, 81% disposal efficiency.

As good as any medium or small defender's game can possibly be.

152 Supercoach, for those who monitor that as a loose indicator.

Nobody even close on the numbers this week, so he should now become only the second player to be nominated for Rising Star after already having a premiership medal. (I asked SwampThing on Twitter and he confirmed Richard Hadley, who, incredibly, not only was in his third season, but had ONLY played finals in his second season.)

Slipped beautifully into Salem's role 'Goffy'...the kid can play a bit.

I wanted to load up on Bowey but the best player doesn't win.

Daicos is a moral because of name. Don't get me wrong he is a good footballer. But there is no way for AFL PR it goes to Bowey over Daicos.

No flash in the pan - just an honest, modest and 'bestest' type of young footballer doing all the correct things, consistently, and these attributes have clearly shown his talent, longer-term potentials and matching performances with some of our experienced best. Hearty congratulations young man, not a step wrong so far with an enormous upside to come.

Probably as per above.

Jake Boweys thinking at Rising Star award in 2022  - "....Rising star vs Premiership medallion?...hmmmm.....)

There has been a few well deserved articles today about his game.  He won Fox's Golden Fist award this week.  That is a mickey mouse fun thing but still good recognition.

Collectively, they add up to having his name in the RS conversation.

I can't think of any eligible player who played better this week so he has to be the nominee.  

Keep going at this rate and it will be tough to overlook him, despite the glamour boys being hailed as young stars.

Not sure its responsible but I'm on 

Well FMD Bowey got it this week! 
They went output over hype. Well done little ginger. You can hang up this useless nomination next to your shiny premiership medal.

 

It had to be him.  He excelled.  No other contenders even came close.

As i mentioned earlier today, continue like this and he can't be ignored at the end of the year to be The 2022 Rising Star.

Jackson won it in his second year so not impossible.

@DemonlandCan we change the title to show RS #2?

Imagine the nerve of winning back to back flags and back to back rising stars… 

I’ll take my jinx and see myself out now

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
