(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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
