R20 Player Review

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

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Megg

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.
