Love bowser. Agree that it would be nice to see him perhaps rotate through a wing. Could use his skills delivering inside 50.

Should reach out to Banana Boat to see if their interested in a sponsorship deal, I'm sure clarry and bowser would appreciate it.

@Demonstone taking a nap?

*they're

Can't believe nascent typed that, what a dumbass

    Good news. No regular players want to leave MFC only fringe players pack up their gear and seek greener pastures.

    Maybe time to move Bowie up the ground because most slots down back are filled.

    No harm in plonking him in  the forwardline during practice matches  if he shows something during the preseason in January.

    Lucky break another two years. Needs to become more consistent, similar to Quanor at Collingwood.we need him to become the stopper of opposition top small forward continually.

    we need him to excel onwards.

    Doesn't have anything close to Quaynors athletic profile. 

    I like what Bowser brings but his 1v1 losses in the d50 have been very costly and he is our weak link down back in that regard. 

    I think he'd be a very handy half forward with his skills and nous around goal.

    Well he's not a patch on IQ. Has quietly become just about the best mid sized defender in the comp

    You have totally contradicted yourself, Rivers is better with more upside with probably 20 others better than Bowey in the comp….but hopefully he’ll get there but be realistic, our friend.

    Bowey is nowhere near Quaynor at the moment. 
     

    IQ is good at defending, good at releasing players further up field, and good at setting up and getting on chain connections. Plus Quaynor’s physical pressure is vastly superior.

    Think he is talking about Isaac Quaynor being the best mid sized defender, not Jake.

    Marlion Pickett debut in the AFL grand final is for me considering his challenges in the past being in jail etc.

    Goodwin's 2 flags in his first 38 or so games is another one.

    Really admire Quaynor as a player. Quickly establishing himself as one of the best lock down small defenders in the game.

    His physical strength for such a young player is very impressive.

    Won some crucial contests in the grand finald and throughout the finals series.

      As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
