(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.

Bet responsibly.

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: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
