Do you trust Melbourne

[Chook 14,998]

Pretty simple. Do you?

[Dee-lusional 187]

good question Chook. They love to give us reason not too.

We are fitter than ever and playing as a team. We had 2 1/2 down quarters but years gone by we wouldn't of gotten the job done

I honestly think we can win 14-16 this year. Its hard to say but YES I trust them

Hard question to answer. More so now than earlier today. Come back to you this time next week. 

[adonski 10,897]

Can't answer that question until BBB, Weid, Fristch & May return and we get a proper look at a full strength squad.

[Nasher 33,607]

Now: yes. Immediately before next game: no.

Won’t matter how good we get, I’ll always have an upset stomach immediately before the game.

[BrisbaneDemon 1,559]

If we beat Richmond next week.....

[Mickey 4,469]

I'm starting to. Not there yet

[BDA 22,286]

We’ve been challenged a few times now and come up with the answers so yeah I’ve trust in them now. We will bring the heat and pressure next week and give Richmond a proper challenge. Might not be enough to win but there will be no poor efforts I’m sure.

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I trust that we now have stars to pick us up where the team isn’t performing.

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

Needs unsure option. First 3 qtrs today gave me PTSD

[Bitter but optimistic 22,065]

I absolutely  do

......................................................... for the moment.

 

 

[Juicebox 628]

No that trust got broke a long time ago.

Only one way to repair it.

[faultydet 7,594]

Nope.

Enjoying the wins but fully expecting a run of losses at some point.

[SPC 3,480]

Yes.. more than my wife 

[dazzledavey36 52,879]

Absolutely at this minute I do.

Was not worried at 3qtr time. Was waiting for us to really put our foot down which we did.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,065]

I am experiencing a non viagra tumescence  - it can only be the demons. I must trust them.

[Gorgoroth 12,712]

Not 100% but I’m getting there.

If you're unsure, then you don't trust them. That's OK. I get it.

[Sideshow Bob 2,244]

Was very strange watching this from the couch in NQ. Despite it being close with the Hawks having their nose on front for the first half. I was calm, reasoned and in absolutely no doubt that the result wouldn't go our way. 

Our thing now is that we are just fitter, and go harder for longer than the opposition hasbeen able to this year.

Big test coming with the Tigers and feel it be an absolute cracker of a game and win lose or draw we will know ?% if we are thereabouts. I believe we are right now

 

[DeeSpencer 24,781]

At this stage - no.

We had a terrible period against the Saints. We started dreadfully against the Giants before they ran out of players, and we started awfully today and a big reason why the Hawks folded was because they're a young side coming back from Perth.

We've had the absolute dream draw. 

We're playing better and playing in much the right style but too much of the ball movement lacks polish and we still need more system going inside 50.

That's not to say I don't trust that players to give strong efforts more weeks than not (no team is ever perfect) and it's not to say we aren't making good progress but at this stage I think we just lack the polish to really be reliable. And I'm a bit doubtful on whether we can play top line pressure footy against the best sides when we're probably a couple of mid/forward rotation players short who can both pressure and provide quality with the ball.

We'll see what happens with the big forwards if they straighten us up in a good way (and don't just encourage long bombs). Overall though I think Petracca and Oliver in particular need to become capable of the Pendlebury or Dusty type moments just cutting through congestion with beautiful skills not just power.

[DEE fence 4,923]

No, the pain is too much, but then so is the love, Personally I am stressed about the season North had winning 11, then falling off a cliff, I can see the Dees doing that... I remember some years when we fell into finals after flying during the season. They make a strong brew of bathwater down at the 'G.

 

[deebug 1,754]

Next week will tell us a lot, but we are looking good so far, and I'm enjoying it as much as i can?

[YesitwasaWin4theAges 6,582]

Next week will answer alot of questions.

[RedBlueandTrue 359]

Its hard to trust with the easy set shot misses. I trust us to get enough opportunity, but until we can reliably hit high percentage set shots it will be hard to trust fully. It sometimes feels like you just need one good chunk of play to kick the those yips to the dust for a while. Hoping the last quarter was that!

5 wins in a row don’t undo 5 decades of failure. You can’t cure MFCSS with anything other than a premiership
