Jake Bowey (born 12 September 2002) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).
Bowey is the son of former St Kilda player Brett Bowey.
Bowey participated in the Auskick program at the Highett Football Club.[1] He went on to play junior and senior football with the club and under-18 football with the Sandringham in the NAB League.[citation needed]
He was educated at Cheltenham Secondary College.[2]
Bowey was drafted by the Melbourne Football Club with pick 21 in the 2020 AFL draft.[3]
Bowey made his AFL debut in the Demons' 98-point victory against Gold Coast at Marvel Stadium in round 20, 2021.[4] Bowey held his spot in the best 22 which propelled Melbourne to its first premiership since 1964.
Bowey would go on to feature in 17 consecutive wins for Melbourne to start his career, almost breaking the V/AFL record of Collingwood's Albert Lauder set in the 1920s, when Lauder played in 18 consecutive wins to start his career.[5]
