Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Where will Carlton finish?
Last post by Thryleon -there are enough teams that are terrible that even at our worst we wont fall that far.
West Coast will struggle to win games. Melbourne will absolutely slide further. Richmond arent getting good yet, and im pegging another club will slide perhaps on purpose this season, and it wouldn't shock me if it were Collingwood.
Last year we finished 11th with 7 teams below us
We lost to 3 of them - Port, Kangas and Tigers
We only just beat 2 more of them by 8 points - Bombers and Dees
St. Kilda was a 15 point win
West Coast was 34 points.
Of those 7, i expect 4 to improve, with just eagles, dees and bombers to stay crap or go backwards.
I'm not expected the 4 above us to get worse - Dogs, Suns, Hawks and Swans, which means you're hoping for a top 6 to go bottom 4, which is a big ask, more likely to be us than them.
BUT......this is why we play the season because we simply don't know.
Im not hoping on others, im simply looking at our potential. We actually have a good bunch of players and havent gone back that far. Sure, last season we didnt cover ourselves in glory, but we absolutely are better than that in my opinion.
Like you say though, this is where we need to play it out. I went through an exercise reviewing the off seasons of pretty much every team and hardly anyone has actually improved their list. Gws and gold coast did, but most others treaded water or went backwards on paper, but the sport isnt played on paper.

I think if the wheels do fall off the cellar is the limit.
I also think 8th should have every member reaching for their fly… 😎
