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.

Wonder who he knocks off!

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.

This is what I meant. It was hard to word.

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. 

Gees, way to put the Mozz on us!   😁

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.

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!

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 🤦‍♂️

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!

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.

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.

Allen Jakovich went alright. Didn't get the plaudits that JB has but all the same kicked a few goals...(50 in his first 9 games...)

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
