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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
