Alright, folks.

You should all know the drill by now.

There are 18 teams playing in nine games this weekend, and because nothing in this life is either perfect or complete, we here at Zero Hanger still believe each of these aforesaid combatants still come with a raft of question marks.

So, before the second month of the regular season draws to a close on Sunday evening, we have sought to answer each club's most pressing queries ahead of Round 8 of the AFL season.

Melbourne

Can the Demons deal out the same level of damage in the back half of the year?

On current form, absolutely.

But it is going to start getting a bit tougher from here on out, Demon diehards.

According to the league's official statistics provider, Champion Data, despite their unbeaten start to the season, the Redlegs have the most challenging run home of any of the 18 clubs in the competition.

With the Demons facing six dates against sides currently inside the top eight over the next four months, it isn't too hard to see why.

Despite this difficult draw, Simon Goodwin's legion still hold a better than 75% chance of finishing the season with a double chance, a stronger than three in 10 probability of making the Grand Final, and a 15.3% likelihood of breaking their 46-year premiership drought.

For you superstitious and jaded Melbourne fans, I apologize if I have tempted fate.
