Our media team have been excellent this year, but that 5 things article is the lamest thing I have seen in a long time
Looking out my window today... I can only imagine what a shock to the system. What Geelong might be to a Cairns kid who has played for years in Gold Coast
Going to be a big summer for him.

The more I see/read up on Jack the more and more I'm impressed with him.
He looks to have a really good head on his shoulders
Will be a great pick-up for us

Jack not looking back: New Cat eager to make mark after 'unique' deal
After a disappointing end to his Gold Coast career, Jack Bowes is ready to kick on in Geelong

Truly Jack is the one recruit that has me excited to see what he can do i remember when he was coming through the Suns academy they though he was equal to Jaeger as a junior if he can stay fit he's a vital cog in our attempt at B2B
This part of the story is disappointing . The bleating about players wanting to depart and return to Vic... and it seems they have thrown out a local that was happy to stay.

i think he'll get more votes this year now people have taken notice- these 4th quarter performances would've been hard to ignore now he's done it 3-4 times now
In most of those games where he played a good fourth, that was the only good quarter he played. I like me some Tommy Atkins but realistically he doesn't put up the numbers.

I see Jack Bowes as the most talented of our trades.
This kid is something special to behold
He'll get a lot of the ball and use it very well.
Our forwards will be licking their lips with Bowes and Duncan delivering the ball
Really hope he and Stengle and Close develop a strong bond. Between them they could be magic to watch
A future with Bowes Parfitt and Stengle could be shimmy paradise
This club never cease to amaze with recruiting

Feel like Bowes is a rich man’s Sam Simpson. Both smart, good users and exceptional through traffic. Bowes just a better size (187cm, 85kg).
Far better kick and can intercept mark/play taller than his size - IMO, Simpson ain't got nothing on Bowes, haha
Far better kick? Simpson is a pretty elite kick, would be one of the better kicks in our squad.

That must mean bowes is Duncan level lol
Bowes is basically Duncan level with his kicking. Was the best kick in his draft year from memory, and easily best kick at GC. Have followed him closely and can guarantee he has Simpson covered (and I have a lot of time for Simmo)
It actually does - kid weights the ball perfectly when he kicks it

I watched a VFL game replay the other day where Bowes had 39 and kicked 2.1
Funnily enough I wasn't impressed early but he worked into the game nicely.
He started basically every center bounce in the middle when on the ground.
After watching the game (will watch more) I do feel he is made to play the big-bodied mid more than a half back like what they had him doing at the GC.
Certainly has a good frame for it and his poise in tight at times is impressive.
I do feel he doesn't look the type that will add much run and carry but has some good attributes for sure.
Could be a real bonus pickup for us.
