AFL captains say we are bottom eight.

[Redleg 38,618]

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

Not even Junior?

[LeBron James 41]

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

Fair enough then.

[Deestroy All 14,262]

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..

[Spaghetti 264]

Well at least all AFL captains are honest then

Redleg, Where did you get this from?

[Jarka 767]

Melbourne...bottom 8...stop the press!!

[QueenC 74]

Melbourne...bottom 8...stop the press!!

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!!!

[Jack Ship 0]

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!

[Dalrot 85]

AFL captains are idiots.

15 said Carlton would make the 8 this year.

[demon85 17]

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.

[grazman 6,750]

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.

Not as happy as me.

I expect them to finish 2nd or 3rd.

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

[olgreydingo 51]

I think let every one believe we will finish last.

Go ahead under estimate us I dare you.
