Yes I think the team needs a good rest after such a telling final series.

Hold on that's right they missed finals by the smallest of margins.

Get out and [censored] the weak pea hearted bastards.

I sense a theme, and it’s already getting tired after just two posts.

It was tired before Christmas, hardtack.  Every time something like this comes up we'll have the usual 'hilarious' comments about the cancelled camp, not going hard enough etc.

After putting us through 10 years of garbage and then finish 2017 off not only the last games performance but a player lead cancellation of a camp that focused in on mental toughness, we get the right to take little swipes like.

No it's a small taste of what will come their way this season.

I don't care about whether they did the camp or not but it showed abysmal connection between the coach and the playing group. This was another stuff up by a club that seems to move from one mini stuff up to another (need we mention the finals tickets email !!)

The players were back at training today and, clearly, everyone involved has moved on.  

You guys should do the same.  Blaming anything that occurs this year on that camp is something a 5 year old might do.  It's a reflection on much of our supporter base these days, though - they can't let go of the past and look forward.  We expect the playing group to do it, so maybe we should do the same.

We could win the GF and there’d still be the usual suspects on here complaining because we didn’t win by 10 goals.

No we wouldn't as players would be meeting our expectations.  Some supporters want us to be successful and not accept anything less others are just passive and are still accepting hype

I want the club to be successful... I just see no point in dwelling on the past. What’s done is done, so look ahead.  I don’t accept the hype at all.

let go of the past... the latest stuff up was three weeks ago......still rather current I would have thought.

The MFC needs to be held to a standard and 2017 was not a good example in so many ways.

We improved in 2017 and all expect bigger improvement in 2018. Dwelling on what has happened is nothing but unproductive.

The 'hype' is the negative media believers who have no inner knowledge of the club and don't go to training but accept whatever rubbish the media whip up as being a true reflection of where the club is at.

If you seriously think that any Melbourne supporter doesn't want the club to be successful, or that the players aren't aware of what's required by the FD, god help you.

Lot of dogs with bones around today......healthy, but they should go for walks too.......

Players, coaches, staff etc all seemed to have moved on.  Bigger fish to fry.

We ALL want success for this club, but what does holding on to a meaningless camp do for that success?  Nothing.

No I think a every supporter wants and hopes the club is successful but there is as difference from wanting to expecting.  The mindset of good clubs is they expect to be successful and not hope
