I just looked at the player review. Is it just me or is it a much better reflection of what we saw rather than the fairy floss we usually get delivered

Yes I thought that too, but it might just be an inference based on recent events.

Maybe Williams has been 'freed up' too...

Yep. The references to leadership are very pertinent imo.

No it is not just you, in the past I would read these reviews and think we must have won the game

when we had actually endured a 8 goal loss!

The reviews have always been extremely upbeat even after big losses, mostly talking about roles being played in the team and workrate etc.

It's an insight possibly into the "teaching" modle we have in place where players are set tasks to fulfill rather than just go out there and win the ball (and hopefully the bloody game!). I don't expect them to rip into the players on the club website especially when they always show them support in other mediums, but I wish they'd show a bit more disappointment in the teams overall performance.

Yep. Normally got my "reading between the lines" goggles on for these - didn't need them this week.

Brad Green: Greeny didn’t involve himself in the game enough. We just need more from our leaders, and Brad needs to continue to lead with his involvement and with his voice on the ground.

Stefan Martin: Stef was beaten convincingly. He didn’t spread hard, and wasn’t involved in enough play. He missed a shot early, which would’ve helped his confidence. We need Stef to dig deep and fight back hard this week.

Good stuff.

I agree they are alot more honest. if these are the reviews released online I wouldn't mind listening to the reviews given behind closed doors.

Agree - although a bit rough tearing strips off Martin - still pretty young and Sat was a good learning experience. Thought Moloney's review was pretty scathing...

Theres still a little reading between lines that can be done but these reviews are far far more real and circumspect.. Good to see ( and read ). Id stop botheringwith them prior as were just total fiction.

Slowly the Titanic turns ??

And like who writes this stuff?...from a club email...."And for those really worried that Etihad won’t feel like a home ground this Sunday, have no fear, the Demon trumpeter will play the theme song before the game and in the Victory Room after the game - when and if the Demons win."

Almost enough to turn me off going

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
