Hard to see Melbourne not making the top 4.
Hard to see Melbourne not making the top 4.
This IS Melbourne we're talking about here. If there's one club capable of seriously underperforming it is most certainly Melbourne. Exhibits A and B are the 2019 and 2020 seasons. They had no business finishing as low as they did in either of those seasons, or as playing with as little commitment or passion as they exhibited in their worst performances.
On talent, and the evidence of 2021, I agree they should finish top 4. But if a few things go against them I won't be surprised to see them drop their collective bundle and drop down the ladder.
My top6 in no particular order
Bulldogs
Melbourne
Port
GWS
Bears
Swans

Well, that almost guarantees they'll miss the eight. Mick has been off with his predictions for years, now.
Remember the time when he announced at the start of the season that he couldn't see how Carlton could possibly lose a game that season? I think that was his final year in charge when he was sacked after round 8 with Carlton having won just one game.
Edit: Found a source. (The prediction is towards the end of the article.)

All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
There was also this classic of the genre on our prospects heading into the finals in 2012.
Mick: Swans, Crows not worthy
(My only caveat on Mick was he was a fierce defender of Goodes.)
'Delicious' is a fun word to say
