When he was drafted he was compared to Trent Cotchin.I see Cam Guthrie potential in Bowes.
And he did hint at that at the Suns, both as a back flanker and as a midfielder (briefly).
We got glimpses last season but an undefined role and getting to grips with a new system lead to a slightly disappointing start (only cause my hopes were high).
I know it's only a pre season game and he did similar last season, but I just see a really good player there. Hopefully he brings that to the table in 2024.
Neat disposal, makes the right decisions, not quick - but not slow - either. Similar to your Guthrie comparison really.
It's entirely possible he can become something resembling that player after a year in our system.
After Rance's comments regarding Lynch a few years back, Flanders & Brodies lack of development, and Dimma's comments recently, I'm prepared to put little to no thought into his time at the Gold Coast.
It's becoming increasingly clear that they did absolutely nothing to develop him, and if that's the case, he was never going to be what we wanted him to be in year one.
Year two though, that could be a different story.
