Bowden forever flawed.
Extremely tough post. Safe to say I totally disagree with virtually every word of it.
Joel Bowden is a gun that every club in the competiton would take in a heartbeat.
He is the General of our defence and has more talent in his little finger than 90% of the players on out list.
There is no question about his leadership ability or his bravery IMO.
He has been asked to stand the likes of Jon Brown & Fevola despite being significantly undersized.
He not only matched them but beaten his opponent on several occassions and put his body regularly on the line for his team mates.
Expectations of him are huge and when he has the odd off game(rare in the past 3 seasons) 'supporters' like yourself are extremely quick to tear him to shreds and continually hark back to the dark days of Frawley.
It pees me off no end particularly when the guy has won dual Jack Dyer medals and AA recognition over the past few years.
He is most definately up there in one of our best 3 or 4 players and deserves more respect than the crap you have served up in your post.
Joel for captain in '08.
