Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.

    Watched the 2021 finals a few weeks back (yeah I'm desperate to see a winning final)

    Could not help but notice that Bowey often found space due to comparatively slow movement into our defensive zone by other teams.

    Can he deal with super fast corridor or zig zag style now favoured by many teams. Not sure.

    It's probably a question that applies to many of our defenders

    That’s a good question Diamond _Jim, he never looked settled in any of his games after returning from injury. He was recruited for his footy IQ and elite disposal so he has an advantage over a lot of players, it’s up to the FD to position him to our advantage and for Jake to recapture his fitness and mojo.

    Did not have a good year at all after his return from injury.

    I wish he ventured up forward more often as he’s a tremendous kick on the run from around the 50 arc.

    Needs to have a very good pre-season and set himself up for a big year.

    He has regressed like many on our list.

    OMG the poor bugger through no fault of his own (except perhaps courage) broke his clavicle - whilst the fracture itself heals in 6-8 weeks, there is naturally some reticence to take an impact for much longer.  Regression like many on our list is a bit  way over the top.

    Lets judge him on how he performs in 2025, after a full pre season.

    I should’ve clarified that his regression began in 2023 imo.

    To me it seemed to start after he came back from that nasty shoulder injury.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
