What excites me most about Jake is his quick decision making. He knows what he’s going to do with it before he even gets the ball.

A lot of our ball movement seems ‘rushed’, whereas with Jake it is ‘quick’.

The man and his team are friggen geniuses, strike rate is through the roof.👏👏👏

I would love to see a page just on this topic , JT and his team have done such a brilliant job through the drafts since he came to the club 

I believe JT,  PJ, Goodwin and Roosy all came to the club the same year

A pity he chose the Weid ahead of Harry Mackay. 
 

Imagine having him in our forward line 😍

Gee it would have been something,  I've said it before on here probably his only miss, we would have been extremely happy campers with Harry McKay in the ranks. 🤬

He looks like being a better player than his dad !!  

I suspect in years to come people will refer to Brett Bowey as Jake Bowey's father !! 

Looks that way ,i know his mum Dee would be so proud,went their wedding hottest day ever and the aircon broke down at the reception

Bump, just in case, to save us starting a new thread!

34 disposals, 16 contested possessions, 10 intercepts, 81% disposal efficiency.

As good as any medium or small defender's game can possibly be.

152 Supercoach, for those who monitor that as a loose indicator.

Nobody even close on the numbers this week, so he should now become only the second player to be nominated for Rising Star after already having a premiership medal. (I asked SwampThing on Twitter and he confirmed Richard Hadley, who, incredibly, not only was in his third season, but had ONLY played finals in his second season.)

Slipped beautifully into Salem's role 'Goffy'...the kid can play a bit.

I wanted to load up on Bowey but the best player doesn't win.

Daicos is a moral because of name. Don't get me wrong he is a good footballer. But there is no way for AFL PR it goes to Bowey over Daicos.

No flash in the pan - just an honest, modest and 'bestest' type of young footballer doing all the correct things, consistently, and these attributes have clearly shown his talent, longer-term potentials and matching performances with some of our experienced best. Hearty congratulations young man, not a step wrong so far with an enormous upside to come.

Probably as per above.

Jake Boweys thinking at Rising Star award in 2022  - "....Rising star vs Premiership medallion?...hmmmm.....)


Posted (edited)

There has been a few well deserved articles today about his game.  He won Fox's Golden Fist award this week.  That is a mickey mouse fun thing but still good recognition.

Collectively, they add up to having his name in the RS conversation.

I can't think of any eligible player who played better this week so he has to be the nominee.  

Keep going at this rate and it will be tough to overlook him, despite the glamour boys being hailed as young stars.

Well FMD Bowey got it this week! 
They went output over hype. Well done little ginger. You can hang up this useless nomination next to your shiny premiership medal.

It had to be him.  He excelled.  No other contenders even came close.

As i mentioned earlier today, continue like this and he can't be ignored at the end of the year to be The 2022 Rising Star.

Jackson won it in his second year so not impossible.

@DemonlandCan we change the title to show RS #2?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
