I though he was brilliant tonight under the circumstances while up against one of the better player in the comp being Johnson.

We have a game plan or structure problem at the monment. It stood out like dogs nuts tonight how we handballed to a player who was stationary.
 
Bowden did play well tonight, but he was helped by Johnson who was not himself tonight. Should have kicked atleast 3 or 4 goals.
 
Yep was very good tonight. Brad Johnson is a superstar of the game and to keep him to one goal is a top effort.
 
I gave Joel 3 votes this week.

There's an article about the Bowden boys in this week's Record.

I love this quote from Joel. "My best footy was in 2000-2001 playing on-ball and getting tagged but still being able to break the tag and be influential."

Hear hear Joel. Would love to see him back in the midfield. He'd even kick some goals which not enough of our midfielders do.
 
Play Joel in the midfield against the Eagles. I don't think there are any Eagles that are sort of the right matchup for him in the backline, so push him onto a wing or an a forward flank.

The one goal Johnson got was from a terrible turnover in midfield - Bowden ran the ball out and the midfielders conspired to lose it, delivering the ball back to Johnson on his own. Bowden was filthy on it too.
