This is all about trust. PJ was right: you have to earn trust - this mob have just blown it again.

An earlier posted made a comparison to domestic violence - returning to abusive partners. Not the best choice of analogy and was called out for it. But there's the kernel of truth - MFC supporters have been let down more times than we can remember over the last 10 years... and we are repeatedly told that "we're on the right track". The rusted on supporters, like us, keep on turning up. If we win a game we were expected to lose (Geelong last year), we're happy, but don't believe anything has really changed - because not too long after, we'll lose games we ought to win - Carlton, St. Kilda, Essendon. I don't trust our team; I'm pleased when we win, and wear the scarf home - I'm resigned when we lose, and still wear the scarf. Today, we'll lose, and I'll feel $hitty and angry. I'll have platitudes thrust at me from all sides (I hate to think how tired they'll be after THREE weeks - the poor things). And I'll turn up next week, perhaps to be teased again?

    There is a vast difference in age and games experience, and if ever that team was going to challenge for a flag, I believe it is to be this year. Their record in Tassie in particular is enviable.

    I may be overstating a little but I do believe we'll have to be at our absolute best and/or them to be a fair distance from their best to get a result.

    Wasn't as big a difference as most ended up thinking. IF we play like we can/should, there's no reason we can't be in most games.

    Not sure if you bumped this for an "I told you so", but we played some of our best footy for a while while North were below their best, and still won, so I stand by what I said. 

    I agree that when bringing the right level of effort, we can take it up to any side, including top 4 contenders. Consistency is the golden goose and it can take a long while to find it. Just ask our opponents from the weekend.

    We must, MUST follow up that performance with something similar against the Pies.

    • 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.
