Being the off season and all, i was reading Cricinfo when I came across this article. It made me think that this is how our boys need to start thinking to achieve the level of success that we all crave. It's not important which sport one follows, belief seems to be 90% of the battle. Happy reading.

    Good interview. Yes the power of a positive attitude after a team gets a sniff. Reminds me of '87 and what nearly was.

    We will rise.

    Positive thought is great, but have a look at the side Australia took to the WI

    M. A. Taylor (New South Wales) (captain), I. A. Healy (Queensland) (vice-captain), G. S. Blewett (South Australia), D. C. Boon (Tasmania), D. W. Fleming (Victoria), J. L. Langer (Western Australia), C. J. McDermott (Queensland), G. D. McGrath (New South Wales), T. B. A. May (South Australia), R. T. Ponting (Tasmania), P. R. Reiffel (Victoria), M. J. Slater (New South Wales), S. K. Warne (Victoria), M. E. Waugh (New South Wales), S. R. Waugh (New South Wales).

    B. P. Julian (Western Australia) and C. G. Rackemann (Queensland) joined the tour as replacements for the injured Fleming and McDermott.

    Pretty handy side although underrated at the time...and they mostly went on to show how good in the following years

    Julian in particular revealed his famous "mystery ball" during the tour..... one that lands on a line and length ^_^

    Perhaps in 2014 we'll have a MFC side just about to break through for a sustained period of dominance..I hope so

    But of course that is the point; I was living in London in '89 and I remember the newspapers talking up the series as the battle for the worst team in the world. At the time, no one rated any of the Aussies, they proved themselves just as the MFC must do. Let's hope that the likes of Blease, Gawn, Scully, Watts and Trengove become our equivalent of AB, Boonie et al.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
