BT  would think a high school is for stoners

(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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
