Canโ€™t wait for him to snap a goal so we can say - the Ginger Nut Snaps!

He did, in round 1.ย  It was awesome how the team got around him.

I was going to start a new thread on this but Iโ€™ll just chuck a comment in here about it.

Iโ€™m actually fine with the media/AFL spotlight being on other teams and players almost all the time ESPECIALLY when we are the team to beat.ย 
ย 

Iโ€™d rather we fly under the radar and win the only thing that really counts for players: Premierships.

ย 

Iโ€™d rather a Daicos get attention than Bowie for example, just let him do his thing without extra attention.
ย 

However this might just be a reflection of me as a life long (36 years) dees supporter thatโ€™s easily spooked the year after finally winning a flag.

Am I being overly paranoid about the bad effects lots of attention can do to a team? Is recognition better than being ignored for player/team confidence?

Well done JB. Outstanding game considering the amount of experience we were missing in defence.ย 
he is playing a senior role after 9 gamesโ€ฆ

I donโ€™t disagree in general, but I see Bowser as very grounded and unlikely to get a big head so very happy for him to receive all the plaudits he richly deserves.

Wow, 9 games for 9 wins, two rising star nominations and a premiership!

Gotta be some sort of recordย 

ย 

Congratulations Jake Bowey that was a sensational effort that you put in Saturday night and it is great that you have been recognised with your second Rising Star nomination.!!!


He has elite skills and decision making. It is so stark atm with our backline minus Lever, Petty, and Salem.ย 

ย 

From 'stop-gap', to Premiership player, to star player in a few months.ย  Unprecedented!

Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

Edited by Deeoldfart

I think it is all a bit of hype, just because of how much he looks like the perfect modern prototype footballer.

If he ever gets injured we are stuffed. No Bowey no Melbourne.ย 

Getting to the point that is not a joke anymore, so critical with Salem and Lever out.ย

thought that was a drop punt? the snap is critical to my pun

agree it was great to see the team bond


Two rising star nominations and a premiership medallion in 9 games.

With an award every three games, it's quite possible he'll win the brownlow three times this year, the coleman medal, the norm smith and the rising star.ย

Agree and watching the highlights of him is really quick off the first 5 steps. creates space so easily

A joy to watch. Add him to the list of 2 who you completely relax when they have the ball (Sales and Bowey)

About time too....

I mean this bloke has 9 whole AFL games to his name. AND he only had 1 rising starย  nomination,never lost a game and has a premiership to his name.... Liike seriously at what point is he going to get some success....ย ย :roos:


Wow! Well done Jake Bowey!

9 games and 9 wins so far. His calmness under pressure and his foot skills as well as his decision making is a pleasure to watch.

He also has 2 NAB Rising Star nominations now and a 2021 AFL Premiership medallion to go with it!

The most exciting thing is he will continue to get better and better as a footballer as he gains more AFL experience.

Bluey Bowser has been fantastic for the Melbourne Demons so far! However, we definitely shouldn't forsake the profound impact (my favourite) Mark "Choco" Williams has had in developing these young players at the Melbourne Demons.ย

and don't forget, another Premiership..... and Coaches Award for the best player as well as theย ย The Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy

ย 

Hate to put the Mozz on him but a win on the weekend makes him the most undefeated player ever. (Plus a flag, and the list of awards previously mentioned in this thread). Unfortunately thisย  cant last forever!

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
