BoBo 2,961 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) I was going to start a new thread on this but I’ll just chuck a comment in here about it. I’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. I’d rather we fly under the radar and win the only thing that really counts for players: Premierships. I’d rather a Daicos get attention than Bowie for example, just let him do his thing without extra attention. However this might just be a reflection of me as a life long (36 years) dees supporter that’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? Edited March 28, 2022 by BoBo 2 Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,492 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Well done JB. Outstanding game considering the amount of experience we were missing in defence. he is playing a senior role after 9 games… 3 1 Quote

I don’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. 3 Quote
DeeZee 7,496 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Wow, 9 games for 9 wins, two rising star nominations and a premiership! Gotta be some sort of record 7 2 Quote
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 If he ever gets injured we are stuffed. No Bowey no Melbourne. 3 2 Quote
DeeZone 10,606 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 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.!!! 2 Quote
rpfc 29,039 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 He has elite skills and decision making. It is so stark atm with our backline minus Lever, Petty, and Salem. 2 Quote
Deeoldfart 8,205 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) From 'stop-gap', to Premiership player, to star player in a few months. Unprecedented! Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid! Edited March 28, 2022 by Deeoldfart 4 Quote
Little Goffy 14,982 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 I think it is all a bit of hype, just because of how much he looks like the perfect modern prototype footballer. 1 4 Quote

In Harmes Way 7,879 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 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. 2 4 Quote

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) 1 Quote
Sideshow Bob 2,498 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 About time too.... I mean this bloke has 9 whole AFL games to his name. AND he only had 1 rising star nomination,never lost a game and has a premiership to his name.... Liike seriously at what point is he going to get some success.... 2 Quote
At Least I Saw a Flag 5,356 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 Yeah, but apart from 2 RS nominations and a premiership medal what has the guy actually done? 2 3 Quote
Ethan Tremblay 31,393 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 We won’t lose a game until Bowey loses one, mark my words. 1 Quote
Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) 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.

Rocknroll 1,010 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) 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 this cant last forever! Edited March 28, 2022 by Rocknroll fact checking 3 1 1 Quote
