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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
