Matt Burgan has done a season preview for each club. Has predicted for Melbourne to finish in the bottom half of the eight.

glad to see someone in the media has actually thought about their pre-season predictions...

Its where originally I had them.7-8...but am thinking more realistically 9-10.. Still good to see someone looking at it in balanced fashion.

yeah, it is... although the entire afl.com preview is a bit silly... they had different people previewing different teams... i looked at all the reviews and worked out how they predicted the afl ladder would finish up... it looked something like this... pretty poor work from AFL.com

1-2. Geelong

1-4. St. Kilda

4. Collingwood

4. Port Adelaide

4. West Coast

5 - 8. Melbourne

6. Brisbane

6. Hawthorn

7. Adelaide

7-10. Kangaroos

7. Bulldogs

8. Sydney

--------------------------

9-12. Essendon

9. Fremantle

11. Carlton

14. Richmond

well hey according to that, worst case scenario we are above richmond, carlton, fremantle, essendon, kangaroos and sydney.

best case scenario we are only below Geelong, St. Kilda, Collingwood, Port Adelaide and West Coast.

So in reality we are 6-10 lol which is a fair assumption i would've thought.
