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?

 

In the 1970s we rarely received much media coverage. I used to dread the rare instances when a story was published which profiled one of our players because that player invariably played a stinker* in our next game. I suspect other supporters who have been following the Demons throughout those lean years will agree.

*'played a stinker' was probably the actual words a young me used in the 1970s.

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

    Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

    I don't think he was ever stop gap.

    He was the best kick in his draft according to Jason Taylor. Bailey Laurie was 2nd best 

    Thats the reason they were selected

    Random rising star fact.

    Since the award was introduced in 1993, there have been a total of 21 players who have been nominated twice. Melbourne has had five of those players of their list

    Nathan Jones, Jordan Gysberts, Sam Blease, Luke Jackson and now Jake Bowey.

    How many Racing Star Nominations can any player receive. I know Bowies first was last year but can a player receive multiple  nominations in the one year.

    No you cannot get multiple nominations in one year but since Bowey is Under 21 and played less than 10 games at the start of the Season he was able to get a second nomination but it does not mean he will be the rising star this year unless he has an exceptional 6-10 games this year.

    I expect he will eventually be move forward to the wing or half-forward because he could do more damage to the opposition in these roles provided we get players to replace him on the half-back.

    I think I read somewhere that IF we win this week, Bowey will have the best winning streak from debut ever recorded in the AFL at 10.

    He doesn't. At least, not yet. Look here. The record is 18 held by Albert Lauder from Collingwood about 100 years ago.

    If Bowey were to retire today, though, he would hold (equally) the record of most games played without recording a loss.

    Compare with Adam Tomlinson who player 21 games before he was on the winning side.

    James Jordon also played 9 first games before a loss last season.

    I wonder how many players have been nominated for the rising star after winning a premiership?

    Richmond might have one or two? You would think it would be a pretty small group though!

    That’s a table set to keep an eye on as the year progresses. Spargo has one of the best win loss records in the comp right now (min 50 games). And didn’t realise Hunt has played 96 but none in a final.

    Can't wipe the smile off my face after that 360 interview. He's so composed even on camera. I'm loathed to say this, because he's as tough as competitor as any other 2nd year player, but he is a such a 'cute little tacker' of a footballer. Apologies 🤦‍♂️

    Remember when Geelong thought they where smart and traded a future first round pick to jump ahead of Melbourne to take Holmes before Melbourne leaving Melbourne to take Bowey with the next pick.

    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. 

    … and the Nobel Peace Prize. Don’t forget the Nobel Peace Prize!

    So far Bowey has been the best performed player in his draft year, well surpassing the hyped up no 1 pick Ugle-Hagen.

    EFC have Perkins running around against us this Friday and I really rate him, think he will be a player.

    Even Daniel Menzel won his first 15.

    • 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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’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.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’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 wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
