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.

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

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!

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

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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
