Fairly enjoyable look at an Aussie Rules season, told from the perspective of various participants. ( ) A light, quick read that tells the story of an AFL season from multiple perspectives. The structure has its strengths, but the constant flicking between characters mean that the heart of the book (the complicated relationship between draftees Mick and Jake) is lost and few characters are really developed. A good one for footy fans. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The ruckmen face off over the centre circle and for a moment everything is frozen possibility: players, umpire, the ball suspended overhead, the softly clouded sky. Everything except the fans, a circus beyond the stillness. Then the ball swings down and cracks it all open.'The new draft pick, the tired has-been, the up-and-comer, the might-have-been. The talent scout, the coach on the edge, the beleaguered umpire, the concerned medic. The number-one fan, the lifetime members, the desperate gamblers. The footballers' mums, the WAGs, the groupies. The tags, the rivals, the sledging. The pressure.Mick Reece and Jake Dooley, best mates since childhood, began their first professional season playing AFL with little notion of what they're getting into or the complexity of the beast that the game must feed.In Game Day, Miriam Sved brings this beast into the light over the course of one season of Aussie Rules. Revelling in their battles, their victories and their relentless interdependence, Game Day asks whether what unites the true believers is stronger than what divides them, and if love of the game can transcend our flaws and imperfections to result in something beautiful.
