Reality check.

Funny thing about all the fuss. Everyone is so upset about our winless start to the season, but how many of those games were we supposed to win? I'm sure I'm not tho only one who had us down for one certain win (Brisbane) and a couple of maybes depending on how the team had come along. It's not like we've been playing against the worst teams in the league (Brisbane aside). I know at least one poster started a thread about the possibility of being 0-9 when the draw came out.

How many of you can say that they are honestly surprised by the losses so far (barring round 1)?

I think it's the lack of competitiveness.

Look, I think we could have been 2-6, with Brisbane and either Richmond or the Dogs.

It is still a crap reality...this list is better than that.

I read recently a quote by Helen Keller which goes.

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved." (I actually tried to tweet it to Neeldy I just hope it worked lol)

I believe we are still going through the trial and suffering and I am hoping we can get to the success bit soon, When we do start getting there the sweetness of a victory (any victory) will be so great. I like most of you am getting impatient and sick of saying the next game will be better but I am a realist about couple of things, I am a footy tragic and I still love and have hope for the MFC.

its not the losses its the lack of apparent effort and heart. Things will improve.

Well there must be some fantastically strong souls around the MFC because we've been going through "trial and suffering' for about 50 years.

If we were playing like we should be there is absolutely no reason not to pencil in at least 10 wins for the year. This crap was with us for most of last season and we did get 8 wins.

The reality is what you see is what you get.
