The thread's title says it all. I really like this article, especially the second last paragraph:

For a moral, Melbourne can either dwell on how far it has fallen compared with last year's bottom team, or on how quickly it might recover. Teams, like individuals, sometimes surprise even themselves when they develop confidence.

    Enjoying all the positive comments for Blease, great to see him out there and making an impact.

    I read this and didnt mind reading something trying to spawn some positivity about MFC.

    I was confused by it though a little. Especially the last sentence - is it now that we are content with 8 goal thumpings? I know it is not the intent, but the way it is written makes it sound like that a bit.

    Confidence and momentum are invaluable things in modern day footy, i think that it is not beyond us to clean up and move on at a good rate next year, however, we need to ensure the right people are in charge of that process.

    Just good to have something to work with.

    As a leader of a team that has moved our 15 goal losses to 8 goal losses, it makes a huge difference to the team dynamics and how the players see the future.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
