Yes, I understand we were poor today. I was there and sat through the whole thing in a sea of Cats supporters. Yes, I know Yze and Johnstone were poor and will possibly be looking at the axe.
But it's not like we lost a game we were expected to win. I know it's hard to be positive at times like this, but it isn't the end of the world. I love my footy as much as anyone, I'm devoted to the MFC, and it takes up a lot of time during the winter. But it isn't everything. Try and look at the positives from today.
We're a very good chance to beat Freo next week. Jones was great today, the guy hasn't even played 30 games, I think he'll have the Rising Star in the bag at the end of the year (Yes he is eligible). He didn't stop running and trying all day. Neither did Beamer. Beamer was the only reason we had a score on the board at 1/4 time. He showed again he loves playing his old club, and had he had more support and we made a decent fist of the match, he would have dominated.
Whilst Neita and Robbo are out, I think we may have a found a decent replacement in Greeny. His kicking is back this year, and provided he combines that with the hardness he added to his game last year, he could prove very dangerous on the forwardline.
We can still make finals. Whether ND will still be here at the end of the year I doubt it, but we are a very good chance, especially since I'd guess we'll have our full side back and fit for Rounds 8-9. If we can be 3-5 at the worst by then we're an excellent chance.
