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.

    There is one other - a Brisbane guy who’s name escapes me.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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.
