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.

 

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

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?

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
