Is Bowey any chance for the RS this year?

Nah. Big chance for a premiership medal though I hear.

He has one of those already 🥱 but two would be great - how about a Norm Smith?  (Would be a first for a HBF).  Then move him forward for 2023 and run for the Coleman.

No point naming someone a 'rising' star if they have two premiership medals around their necks. They are a star already! 

Fingers crossed 🤞

Spot on BAMF.  Rising Star award now is more of a retrospective thing given the above re: young Jake.

In the GF he was serious star material already with his cool-headed pass to Brayshaw, outlet work in defence (Lever to Bowey in 3rd 1/4 to slow down game, then correct decsion to May),  ability to fearlessly contest, again in third 1/4,..................................................... 17 disposals,  four  1 percenters (4th highest in the team),.....etc.

Jake's 17-0 is great.

I note that TMac and Jack are both still about 20 losses in the red.  Max is close to evening the ledger. That must fuel hunger.


As I understand it he broke the all time record of consecutive wins from debut which used to be 14 when he reached 15 and I believe he breaks the record tomorrow for the most wins from debut including one player who had 17 but they weren't consecutive when he reaches 18.   Surely that's all the incentive the boys need to get him across the line.

It’s amazing. What a start to his footy career.

  • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

    The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
