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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
