Player Watch #17: Jake Bowey – signed to 2026

Born end of September, JT loves an underager. Will hopefully get bigger, if not taller, because he looks tiny (currently 175cm, 67kg). Caleb Daniel has always looked to have some decent size on him. Kossie as well, and Jack Higgins. Goes a long way when you’re shorter and relying on a strong skill set and footy IQ to make it.

Hard to get much from a minute and a half long highlights video, but I liked the fact that a couple of times he didn't like what was on down the line so actually had a look to find a target rather than just bombing it. seems to back himself to get around people as well.

You have picked up a really good kid, Jake is a ripper guy and has put in the hard yards to get where he is now. He played div 1 footy for Highett last year, was on the wing against Billy Hartung and ended up BOG. He will give it his all to get the best out of him self and not leave leaving a stone un turned.

Glad we have focused on our need for blue collar agile small forwards.

This guy and Laurie should be able to pinch hit in the midfield as well.
Yep. JT said he (along with Rosman) have played a fair bit of wing which is another big need. Having a wingman that can get forward and be damaging is so valuable
