Ok, by now we've come to realise that 2017 just wasn't our year. The well documented losses of suitable matchups such as Vanders, Kent, Pencil due to injury, the highly sensitised reconciliation of playing on the edge and the associated suspensions of Bince, Lewis, Hogan and Bugg, and let's not forget the timing and impact of injuries to Gawn, Watts, Viney others at cruicial moments - have played their part in our results this season. This is football - we make no excuses about it. What we do expect though... is a clear and deliberate demonstration of MFC resilience for 2018. That is to say, let's be the team that embraces the lessons learned from the implementation of a frenetic pace to our game plan, revise it, refine it come back firing hard over the pre-season. Let's be the ones to accept that to sustain such an exciting and at times, ruthless approach, requires the application of sublime skills and stamina. Let's recognise that we need to build and recruit depth of match-ups, that allow our team to have the structural integrity to match a broader composition of opponents. And finally, let's continue to instil the culture of zero acceptance for lack of intent and drive our beloved team to greater heights next season. The definition of resilience is to identify your strengths and weaknesses, recognise the threats and opportunities and ultimately learn. Go Dees!!!
