Kid plays like a veteran.

He's also our lucky leprechaun with no loss since he's played.

Also now seems to have a swagger and I saw him push a couple of players around last night.

He,  Rivers and Petty are our future.

Seems like he’s had more wins than he’s had clangers.

Could very well be the case. Barrett mentioned that with his 10th win from 10 games, it matches our total wins from 2012-2014.

How far we’ve come.

 

I wrote this ina. Messenger group I’m in last night

 

People use to say he was like Caleb Daniel, now they say he is better (well they do if they have any [censored] idea)

 

He's got 200 games written all over him.

He's our Brett Lovett of the 2020's.

I have good money on him for the rising star.

Me too. Daicos is looking good tonight though - boo!

When there was talk of bringing Bowey into the team in the latter part of last season I thought sheesh, this kid will want to be really good to get a game at that stage. He’s better than really good, nothing fazes young Jake.

Last night was only the second time watching him live, love everything about him. 

 

The proverbial old head on young shoulders.

Always makes the right decisions. Reads the game well. Flawless disposal.

He's a 300 gamer for sure

Dont know why there are two threads.

Hi Mods can we please merge.

TX.

He’s just that friggin good

Hard to believe he’s 19 years old and 10 games in to his career, he looks like a veteran. 

I reckon he’s an example of what happens when all the blocks are in place. He’s developed as a player at the fastest possible rate, because the system surrounding him has allowed him to. I can’t imagine him playing like he is if he’d walked in the door in 2012.

Would be a tough ask for a 9yr old.

That’s very true. What’s also true is that he’s super talented and that really helps.

So I guess the lesson is that to succeed in life you need talent and blocks. Who knew?

Interesting story about Jake.

Heading into the tail end of the season last year, the coaches identified that although we were still winning, we weren’t kicking enough goals.

They believed we needed another playmaker off half back to assist Salem, because the ball wasn’t being delivered into our forward line quick enough to benefit Ben Brown and give him the best opportunity to be one out.

Although Jake wasn’t our best performing Casey player at the time, he was identified as the player to assist us with that given his disposal, footy smarts and ability to win a one one contest. Immediately we started kicking higher scores.

The rest is history…

While forever acknowledging that I'm completely useless when it comes to determining future talent via draft highlights, I had my heart completely set on Laurie in 2020. Will also never know what action clubs take and their motivation when they have back-to-back picks. Anyway, long live our leprechaun in Bowey. I still think Laurie will turn out just as good. And if so, Taylor will be our pot of gold. 


I would be interested in knowing how he learnt to kick, beautiful flat passes. And can anyone tell me does he kick with both?

Just sayin... If Bowser keeps this high standard up all year in 2022 he will be the NAB Rising Star and set another AFL / VFL record for a Club obtaining a NAB Rising Star two years in a row.   Watch this space.

 

Yes this guy is special. But I worry at his light frame. A big hit could do a lot of damage to a small guy like him.

Kevin Bartlett played 400 games with a similar build (probably smaller)

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
