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

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!

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
