Joel Bowden - Impressive

[Unique]

Now, let me get this straight. This is not a bagging Kane Johnson troll.

But...if he wasn't captain you would have to pick Joel Bowden.

I watched him on Friday Tipoff today and my god he is an impressive man the way he handles himself, and answers the tough questions is outstanding.

I don't know how his on field leadership goes but he is a very very good media performer.

Agree, on the captaincy

I don't think his on field leadership could be any worse than sugars

 

[Accepted 04]

I believe that if Johnson wasn't the captain my vote would go towards Newman great player, leader on field and carrys himself well off the field

 

[Expatriation]

Who says Bowden wasn't offered the captaincy and politely declined? He may be one of those blokes who prefers to concentrate on his game without the captaincy pressures.

if joel bowden was the captain of the richmond football club, i certainly wouldnt be a member. how on earth TW plays him defence, knowing that he will allow his man to make uncontested leads after leads i do not know. f@#k him out of the backline or once and for all.


p.s his attempt against thomas in the goal square, sus up his competiveness.

 

[krustyman]

thomas goal wasnt the thing that lost the game.

bowden plays best on the bigger players because he can use his strength and recovery to advantage, but wallace played him on the fast smaller players in the game. he was badly mismatched, but certainly not the worse.

Agree with krusty. Played on the wrong player all game. Horrible coaching decision. As if play Bowden on Medhurst.

 

[TIGER03]

you guys miss the point, he gives his opponent far too much latitude. he lacks intensity

EXACTLY, EXACTLY, EXACTLY! Too right tigerarmy! Far out Wallet should be getting most of the flack tonight! The Coach is the most important member of any team! He makes the players better players, gives them the belief!


But he was one of our worst players today.

He didn't play well because he was in the wrong position.


Bowden made one mistake there in the last quarter (I think). Other than that, not too many skills errors or decision errors on his behalf.

wrong, the pies kicking in the forward 50 was percise and methurst, rocca and cloke hgot their marks on leads. tigers kicking to the forward was bad and made them look good. they need to have a loose man in defense to block the pies movement.

He was playing for the wrong team today.

Woke up late so missed the Coburg game and had to play for us
