Yep, Riley Bowman is considered that top 20 prospect from what I've heard and generally the next big man after the Kings, Blakey and Bailey Williams. Bowman is an athletic forward who is a bit on the skinny side, but has a good vertical leap and is can penetrate from set shots. He kicked a great goal in the trial game against the Allies from about 50m out so his technique is solid. His hands are clean for a bigger bloke and he isn't afraid of the contest. I think it's mostly about consistency for him and having greater influence when up forward. He still has almost a goal a game, but the difference between him the others (in particular like the Kings/Blakey/Lukosius) is they can all take a game by the scruff of a neck and boot say 4-6 goals or a few goals in a quarter and be a match winner. I'm just yet to see it from him yet. The signs are there, he has the tools, he just has to piece it together.Pie 4 Life .. would you to elaborate on Riely Bowman... I think you have him inside top 20 which would place him as quite a good tall in most drafts...
His stats thus far in the TAC Cup are: 11.2 disposals, 2.7 marks, 3.2 tackles, 15.2 hitouts, 3.5 clearances, 0.8 goals.
