Rate a team in 2008: Melbourne
New coach, new hope and it's an even year - how will the Dees go?
IIRC they got hit hard by injuries last season but IMHO their whole season resembled our last 7 games. A dodgy defence, a patchy midfield and two ageing and injury prone forward stars in Robertson and Neitz doesn't look like a potent mix to me.
Without major injuries they may crack 9 -12 but with major injuries finish where they did in 2007.
Is this being too pessimistic?
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.
