Ironic

[MalenyTiger]

Joel Bowden is the All-Australian CHB in 2006 yet Richmond recruits a CHB in trade week. If this is not ironic I'm not sure what is... I hope it means Joel can be used even more creatively in 07 and go forward to kick goals. Maybe he can be All-Australian CHF next year!!

Haha, very good ;D

I love watching joel burst down the wing and have a ping at goal, we all know he is a deadly kick and him in the forward line would be very good

I like the idea of Joel being freed up.

Yes it is ironic however.

Said it once said it a million times Bowden is not a Key Defender hence we got Polak who is one.

Credit to Joel to play so undersized as a modern CHB and get that accolade. What's Polak, another 7cms............ Ironic, perhaps, strategic more likely!

I was thinking the same thing about Joel and to a lesser extent his brother. I seriously wonder whether Joel will even play in the backline in 07 what with Raines and Polo more than likely in there. Joel Bowden X factor sounds good doesn't it. How does Full Forward grab ya! I know it is entirely out of the box but you never know it might be an absolute winner.

Would still keep Bowden behind the ball where he has transformed his career.

 

[Harro12]

How about P. Bowden as he plays looser than Joel in the backline IMO

 

[nackers]

what about Joel floating across the wing, maybe drop back occasionally to help out when needed. He could run from the wing 20 or30 mtrs,and bangggggggg it from the arc 50 mtr goal i love it :clap :clap :clap

 

[nackers]

Or bang it straight down Richos throat :clap :clap :clap

Spot on Craig.

It's a testament to joel that he's done so well in the role. At 189cm Joel is too small to be a true CHB.
