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.

    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.

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
