What's going on with Melbourne assistant coach Sean Wellman? He's saying that the Demons are not only desperate to post a victory over Fremantle today but he wants us to put together a string of wins - DEES AIM FOR STRING OF WINS.

Hasn't he heard of the time honoured football adage of taking things one week at a time?

PS: Cop the photo that goes with the article. The players are wearing the pooey silver gear that we have to thankfully only wear one or two times ever again.

Well I'd love us to string some wins together, but an analysis of the draw puts it into better perspective, we're playing 2 teams in the Top 8 the next two weeks!

Here's our run home, vs West Coast and Freos:

Next week:

Melb v Roos (8th)

WCE v Saints (7th)

Port(13th) v Freo

Rnd 18:

Bombres(12th) vs Melb

Freo v WCE

Rnd 19:

Melb v Geel (1st)

Sydney (4th) v Fre

WCE v Bombres (12th)

Rnd 20:

Melb v WCE

Freo v Saints (7th)

Rnd 21:

Rich (10th) v Freo

Port (13th) v Melb

WCE v Dawks (3rd)

Rnd 22:

Geel(1st) v WCE

Freo v Pies (5th)

Melb v Tigers (10th)

Realistically, I see us winning today, and maybe against an undermanned Bombers and the awful Eagles.

Thats 3 maybe 5 wins, I'd settle for 4 to keep our priority pick

i'll be genuinely unhappy if we win 5 games this year.

a priority pick would be just reward for the terrible season we'v had. It could really kick start our rebuild.

i don't mind if we finish 14th, just dont win 5 games.

If we get over Freo today, there is a chance based on who we play that we could end up wining 5 games. A loss today would make it hard.

A bunch of School girls can beat West Coast, they clearly are not interested, Port seem to be looking at next season, and Freo are plain Rubish. Roos, Dons and Tigers are winnable game,s that said those 3 teams will be pushing for the last few spot in the 8, so they may be hard to knock off.

I can easily see us winning 3 of the next 7, I just hope we only pull off 2 wins.

We will beat WC< they are a joke.

i'll be genuinely unhappy if we win 5 games this year.

As will I.

Should be okay now, too.

By the sounds of the reaction to the Fremantle loss, the team should be trying to string together 5 or 6 effective possessions. Worry about the wins when that´s sorted out!!!
