Bower?

[murphy3]

Just wondering whats happening with Bower. I know he injured his knee and was said to be out for about 5 weeks but that feels like 5 weeks ago.
is he due back soon, how is his recovery going?

Out for another 3 weeks.

Would love to see him debut in the last few rounds of the season. Really feel excited about this guy.

He'd be playing now, on his form before the injury.

It's a shame for him, but he's going to be a star whenever he gets his shot.

i watched jake edwards closely at training on wednesday and although he hasn't set the world on fire at vfl level this year he has the physique and the leg speed to be an excellent prospect for us.

That off the mark speed is impressive and I think he could be made into a good Full Back. They've played him off the bench and on the half forward flank thus far and I don't think that's done him any favours.

very much a development year for him ozbomb. we must remember that he is still eligible to play under 18's so this year was always going to be a slow transition for him. once he fills out out a bit more and hopefully puts a few cms on he could be an excellent FB.

This bloke is going to be a beauty. Just give him time to develop. Pagan is an experienced coach and knows what he is doing. A couple of senior games this year if his form warrants it, just give him a taste, and more games next year. I liked the way he ran the ball out of the backline in the Bullies before he got injured. He may take a while to regain that form in the Bullies after he comes back from injury, but mark my words, he is going to be a great player for us.
