and type in who u reckon we will beat

Well, we SHOULD win 7, with the only loss coming today. We are a better side, at full strength, then 7 of those 8 teams.

If we beat Collingwood, Richmond, Essendon and Carlton I'll be thrilled.

The other games are 50-50 at best, and the result will once again depend on the length of our injury list.

Could scrape in against Richmond, but we could be 0 /16 just as easily. More optimistically (but why be optimistic?) we could win 3. Either way, who really cares

Kangaroos, Richmond, Carlton and Brisbane. Players that are injured will return. Players underdone will improve.

well i though 5-3 for the first 8 games and we're 0-8.

soooo, 3-5!!!! come on 8-8 with push for top 4!

Kangaroos, Richmond, Carlton and Brisbane. Players that are injured will return. Players underdone will improve.

At this stage its anyones guess as to when we will win.

4 for me

Four for me as well, should have a good chance against Carlton, Brisbane, Kangaroos and Richmond

Why is there no option for 0 wins? <_<

And I didn't mention 'tanking'

4 for me

Me too......

Why is there no option for 0 wins?

Exactly what I was thinking

Exactly what I was thinking

Why do u call yourself a Melbourne supporter? I am at a loss

i think we are the most optimisitc fans ever for a team who is 0-8. the spread is pretty even around 4 of the next 8, and about the same have predicted we'll win all 8 as have predicted we'll win 0. nice little bell curve, but its hard to believe we're so optimistic, reading alot of the rest of the site. most people think its not the injuries, but the only difference bettween the next 8 and the previous 8 will be personal on board and a lack of confidence that comes with not winning a game...

Hopefully ND has the team set for the next seven weeks.

In all honesty anything is possible. It just takes one win. You'd have to think McLean, Rivers and Robbo weren't risked against the Eagles for that very reason.

C'arn Dees. DO SOMETHING!

we'll beat the roos. we will.

i'll go f98765 mental party untill the following sunday, because i've seen the boys show commitment and passion to notch up the first win. and from there, who knows!

It all depends on whether Sautner's playing or not.

Thats because i kmew that melbourne were gonna win

how many of the next 5 will they win now?

all of the next 5 id sway all those 5 teams playing poorly (bombers be a big one though

If we dont start to string the next few together, i can see the club making some selection changes in order to prepare for the future. This will hamper our ability to win games against quality opposition later in the year.

If we start to win a few in a row, and we start to make up some ground on the 8, the dees will go full tilt and try and win every quarter of everygame later in the year, in the hope that they can sneak into 8th place.

My guess is 4 of the next 8.

we should start preparing for the upcoming years now. We still have question marks with our spine, and we have several players reaching the 30 mark. We have a great group of talented players and i don't want to see them suffer like neita has. We need the priority pick and a high pick, because with it, it will solve the problems our team has.
