Canโ€™t wait for him to snap a goal so we can say - the Ginger Nut Snaps!

He did, in round 1.ย  It was awesome how the team got around him.

I was going to start a new thread on this but Iโ€™ll just chuck a comment in here about it.

Iโ€™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.ย 
ย 

Iโ€™d rather we fly under the radar and win the only thing that really counts for players: Premierships.

ย 

Iโ€™d rather a Daicos get attention than Bowie for example, just let him do his thing without extra attention.
ย 

However this might just be a reflection of me as a life long (36 years) dees supporter thatโ€™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.ย 
he is playing a senior role after 9 gamesโ€ฆ

I donโ€™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.

Wow, 9 games for 9 wins, two rising star nominations and a premiership!

Gotta be some sort of recordย 

ย 

If he ever gets injured we are stuffed. No Bowey no Melbourne.ย 

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.ย 

ย 

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

Bloody Hell, he's still just a kid!

Edited by Deeoldfart

I think it is all a bit of hype, just because of how much he looks like the perfect modern prototype footballer.

Getting to the point that is not a joke anymore, so critical with Salem and Lever out.ย

thought that was a drop punt? the snap is critical to my pun

agree it was great to see the team bond


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.ย

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)

About time too....

I mean this bloke has 9 whole AFL games to his name. AND he only had 1 rising starย  nomination,never lost a game and has a premiership to his name.... Liike seriously at what point is he going to get some success....ย ย :roos:


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.ย

and don't forget, another Premiership..... and Coaches Award for the best player as well as theย ย The Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy

ย 

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 thisย  cant last forever!

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: โ€œThen came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.โ€ Today, weโ€™re back in the same place although oneย difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, โ€œIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, โ€ฆโ€ย  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
