AFL captains say we are bottom eight.

In a poll of captains as to who would make the top eight not one vote was cast for the Dees.

Not even Junior?

    Captains didn't vote for their own club, therefore the max amount of votes was 15.

    Fair enough then.

    And even if he could vote for us, I'm sure he's a more realistic bloke than Bruce, Robbo, White and Neale.

    It's like that with these sorts of things every year/time.

    After Last years Form what is so strange about that? In the eyes of all other clubs we are out with the Garbage. The Great Percentage Booster for each team to play..

    Beat me to it Jarka......

    Please tell me this isn't a surprise to anyone?

    This is our current reality, and its not a big secret!!!

    Why would anybody even be surprised about that?

    Whilst I expect to be bottom 8 - I'll be gutted if we don't rack up a few more wins than last year ...

    14 were not sure, they would take it one game at a time and are ticking all the right boxes for now!

    AFL captains are idiots.

    15 said Carlton would make the 8 this year.

    Does this honestly surprise anyone?!

    I would love to be in the top 8, but if we were to finish in 8 - 12 i would be a very happy man. If we were to finish 12 - 14 i would still look at the season as a decent campaign - thats only if we are competitive week in week out, no 100 point thrashings.

    Its going to be a long road, but a great journey!

    This does not prove your point at all.

    If Carltank dont make the 8 this year then there will be alot questions being asked about their list and coaching.

    If Judd, Fev, Gibbs, Stevens, Murphy, Kruezer remain fit and in form with a couple of others standing up then they should be able to give the 8 a real shake.

    Personally, I would be happy if they dont. But I expect they will make the 8.

    just for consistency sake, I'm sure the same thing was mentioned last year.

    The difference this year was that it wasn't just us, fifteen captains also nominated West Coast to finish outside the eight.

    Source was FoxSports.

    I expect them to finish 2nd or 3rd.

    You can call me an idiot at the end of the season.

    I think let every one believe we will finish last.

    Go ahead under estimate us I dare you.

    Go Dee's

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
