If folks want to make comparisons between Voss and Fraser look don't look at recent history.
Look at the last half of 2023 and  now.
Same/same

That 2023 run we built on the back of relentless pressure and effort, double teaming in tackles.
We lost our way in 2024- 2025.
A lot of that was the result of injury and in 2025 off-field disaffection and division.
That pressure and effort...and belief is back now.

I am guessing that there were issues/differences of opinion between Vossy and at least some of the players. Something has definitely changed, we play with so much more belief and authority. It’s remarkable and refreshing.

Mentally I think they are so much more on point. I have only seen a few games this season and for one reason or another what I noticed was that you could see there heads drop if something didn't go to plan. You could feel it at the ground.
Now watching them there like bulls at a gate wanting to gang tackle and applying immense pressure on the opposition. So maybe the fresh voice along with a couple of tweaks to the game plan the players have responded.
The players keep harping on about how they have been trying to play this way all year and now its working.
Don't they say that football is 90% above the shoulders?

Should have lost to Essendon and Geelong were ripped off.



Not sure about that.  Poor against Essendon yes.

Argument that we should have beaten Geelong by more even with the missed Dempsey goal

Should have beaten Pies (played one short), North and Melbourne.

Could easily of lost one or both.
Anyway…back onto this weeks game, this will be my second trip to Marvel this year after watching us fall apart against the saints in round 8, that night was horrendous to witness as we were toyed with by the saints. Thankfully we’ve turned it around to now be hunting teams.
Injuries aside I’d run with the same line up, Ison  was a mile off it last week but has a touch of class that we desperately need so I’d keep him in. Fingers crossed for a happier trip to Marvel this week.
