After Round 20 in 2006, Melbourne were 3rd on the AFL ladder. Only a shock defeat by Carlton in Round 21 kept them out of the top 4. It's hard to believe how quickly they've fallen and how far. They lost the first 9 games of 2007 but recovered sufficiently to finish 14th. Now, with Carlton and Richmond improving, they look like wooden spoon certainties. I'm not sure that they will go all season without a win though. In fact, they might get a victory in Round 7 at home to another crisis club - Fremantle.
