This is where we put out our minimum expectations (wins, ladder position, etc) for next season.

Get to it...

Anything less than top 8 is unacceptable as far as I'm concerned.
Injuries, especially in the pre-season hurt us last year.
Hopefully it doesn't impact in 2015..... and if we can play the type of football we played in the last part of the year we should win more than we lose.

I'm looking for top 6 as a passmark. If injuries derail the season, then a minimum benchmark set for effort.

Minimum 13 home and away wins and 2 finals victories.

I am hoping that Thomas would finish at least top 5 in the B&F and for
Henderson & Jamison to play minimum of 18 games each. Not much to ask.

Then the defense/forward structure would be sound and the dash and carry would be present in abundance.

Then a top 8 would be my pass mark.

Without significant injuries - top 8, minimum.
If we get a few major injuries, the min is a 100% team effort by the 22 blokes who runout, results irrelevant.

If we have your average, 'every club gets them' kinda injuries then i think we should be top 8. If we have some bad luck, like this year with terrible luck, then i think we should hope to improve on 13th still. With a bit of luck going our way with injuries (both for and against) then going into the second or even 3rd week of finals is certainly not out of the question.

Keys...
Can Hendo return to form.
Can Casboult/Rowe continue with their 2014 form.
Can some of the kids continue to develop (Menzel, Cripps, Buckley) and become best 22 players.
Can we find a #1 ruckman.

Difficult question.

I think shedding all of Garlett, Robinson, Waite and McLean combined with Judd and Carrazzo being another year older, might mean that a finals spot is a tough ask.

8th-10th, being highly competitive is my answer.

A million a year for Malthouse over a three year contract means its finals in 2015 or out IMO.....

I have no doubt he'll be gone with no finals.

Top 8 or sack Mick. No questions regarding injuries. We won't be the only side to experience injuries.

Thomas either comes good or he is a waste of money.

Jones either performs or is a waste of time.

The entire squad get a more aggressive approach to being defencive or we cull deeper again comes seasons end. Sticking tackles, running hard both ways, and coming to win in every game we play. Playing 4 quarters of footy, including the last 5 mins of every quarter.
