24.01.2022 We wish Jake all the best for Wednesday nights AFL draft. Highett has high hopes for Sandy Dragon Jake Bowey He’s quick, a classy kick and evasive. AFL clubs ...are sizing up Jake Bowey, the son of former St Kilda rover and fan favourite Brett Bowey. Adapted from article by Paul Amy Bayside Leader They were playing a father-kids match at Highett Junior Football Club, and Brett Bowey had a young opponent in his sights. It was his son, Jake. Bowey ran in to lay a tackle. Before he could lay a hand on him, Jake was off, showing an evasive step his father employed during his league football career with St Kilda. That was the first time I thought he might have something,’’ Brett Bowey recalled. I’m going, ‘I’ve got him here’. I didn’t get him. He made me look like a fool.’’ Jake was 12 or 13 at the time. In the years since, and using the grounding that began in Auskick with the Highett juniors at Turner Rd Reserve, he’s developed other layers to his game to go with his snazzy sidestep. Bowey was made co-captain of the Dragons for this year. A leadership role was one of his aims; making the All Australian Under 18 team was another. I just wanted to play a bit better than last year, I guess,’’ he said. Show I can play in different positions, show that I can win the footy as an inside mid or forward, as a shorter type of player (he’s 175cm).’’ He used the COVID-19 lockdown to work on his strength and overall fitness. Brett Bowey has kept a knowing eye on Jake and his daughter Hannah, 22, since they began at Highett (Hannah is a VFLW aspirant and is recovering from an ACL injury she sustained earlier this year). Jake was four when he started in Auskick. Often playing up’’ a year and filling in for teams in the higher age divisions, he played almost 200 junior games for Highett -a club record. The club couldn’t be prouder of Jake’s achievements over his junior career and look forward to being part of the journey that lies ahead. Brett played 85 games for the Saints and those Saints fans that have followed Jakes career lament the fact that 100 games is the magic number for the father-son rule to kick in. St Kilda has spoken to the Highett champion, as have a dozen other AFL clubs. I think he’s got the attributes,’’ Brett said of his son. He’s worked on his deficiencies and he’s worked on his elite stuff, his kicking, his running, his endurance. I think he’s a good chance to be picked up. Fingers crossed.’’
