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"

    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....

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
