Can’t wait for him to snap a goal so we can say - the Ginger Nut Snaps!

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

    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?

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

    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.

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

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

    Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

    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. 

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

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
