Did you guys see the interview on Ch 7 after the game? Bowey getting interviewed and Trac n Clarry giggling like kids

such gold

Chunk got in on the act of the rev-up as well, which I thought was great watching to have another ex MFC player asides from Garry in on the action.

    In some game soon, he will get beaten by his direct opponent for the first time, and (hopefully not) the Dees will lose one with him playing. These two things will be the making of him. Once he faces difficulty and emerges the other side, I see him as a 200+  gamer.

    Why?

    Why can't he just go through his 200+ game career undefeated 😊😉?

    So was thinking of this kid after another great performance on Sunday night.
     What does the future hold for Bowey?  He may continue to hone his craft and become a champion HB flanker, but is there a role where his attributes can be further beneficial to the team? 
     

    Clearly he won’t become a KP player, but does he get a chance to run through the midfield / wing? And perhaps add further weaponary to deliver ball inside 50. He needs to add size and build further fitness but he is super smart footballer and having him learn the midfield craft maybe an ingenious move. 
     

    I really like Brayshaw in HB as a pinch hitter for Salem and he plays the role pretty good as well. So we could definitely cover for him. Happy if he stays as-is as well. Food for thought.

    Or alternatively, does it give us the opportunity to play Salem further up the ground?

    I really think we could do with his elite level smarts and foot skills distributing the ball inside 50 more.

    And/or they could both be rotated higher up the ground and get that opertuity and help the MFC find that next gear we've been searching for but haven't quite found so often this season.

    A significant number of our goals come from defence. You need people that can distribute accurately. Salem and Bowey are perfect. They won't be moving.

    Would be highly unusual for a back to back Premiership team to win two Rising Stars in a row

     

    Just sayin....

    Do you really think that the AFL, in their “no agenda” mindset, would not have a Daicos winning this award?

    I still laugh when i think back to draft night when we call out his name and David King goes "Some people are born with it all, a 175cm red head"

    The way he bounced up after that hit and was in a contest soon after, WOW, just WOW.

    Time to get this kid back into the side and start another games winning streak.

    In fact, let's turn it into a premership winning streak for Bowser.

    I'd like to see us fit him back in. He was looking a bit exposed at times physically before he was dropped but we have definately missed his creativity to turn defence into attack with a 20-30 m kick from the back half recently

    The concern with Bowser is his 1 v 1 defending. Something we are probably in need of down back.

    Wouldn't be opposed to trying him elsewhere though.

    I'd easily have Bowey back.

    But I'd rather him playing his natural position we drafted him for and that was that half forward/wing role.

    Could he play a defensive forward role in replacement of ANB?Certainly need connection forward of centre.

    Bye rounds in the VFL aren't helping any of these guys earn a call up - same applies to JVR too

    FWIW I thought Jake played very well in his last VFL game but that was 2 weeks ago 

    Don't mind the idea of including him in the team because his disposal is usually good but not sure who he replaces (love what ANB brings but he has been a little out of sorts lately - a couple of other small forwards are also under scrutiny)

    Where is Jake Bowey? He's gone missing.

    Premiership player, super talent, rising star nominee and now he's nowhere to be seen.

    Second year player still finding his feet. 

    Had a great end to last year but is nowhere near the finished product and needs to continue to improve his defensive game.

    Will be a nice replacement for Hibbo when he's finished....

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
