I thought that Jay would have been in line to replace Nev but Jake Bowey stepped into the void and really looks the goods.

Good luck Jay.!!

Was disappointed Jay did not get a real go last year and was up against it when Nev was picked from Round 1.

Some days  reckon we missed that smaller defender but as we kept winning Jay could not force his way in.

Still think he had the ability but when "Bowser" was selected it was all over for Jay. Jake is a great player in the making no doubt and love his footy to bits.

I hope Jay can find a VFL side at least as he has the skill and date to make it.

All the best Jay.

 

Was sorry to see Jay go. Thought he had some good potential. Was playing well before a knee injury from memory saw him omitted. He never got back ...

Certainly had ability although disposal needed work.

Very unlucky this year. Played in the preseason Community series against the dogs & copped a serious [censored] injury which needed surgery & missed a month or more.  If he had stayed fit he would have been well placed to replace Nev Jetta early in the season.
