They are screwed. No Gawn for another ten weeks. No Spencer for six or seven. What, Cameron Pederson in the ruck? Meanwhile they are getting suspended, having family members passing away, getting fined by the AFL and the season is five weeks old. You need a lot of luck in football and these blokes aren't getting any. At full strength there is no doubt Melbourne are better than Richmond but these blokes have been cursed this season.
There's something else too. I reckon Goody has a lot to learn as a head coach. I thought he was outcoached by Chris Scott and Damien Hardwick. He's still got his L plates on and it might be another year out for them.
