Re: Where will Carlton finish? Reply #75 – Today at 11:14:16 am Quote from: Lods – on Today at 09:45:10 amIt's interesting looking at the pollWe've had the "Chicken little" predictions and some "pie in the sky" predictions over the off-season, but inthe end mostly we're settling into expecting a ladder position that is either a few spots up or a few spots down from 2025And those sort of fluctuations will almost solely be determined by luck and injury.Its also a little about the ranges highlighted. Many a person, myself including, are over a couple ranges.Its all guesswork anyway so hardly the end of thw world, but one thing i should add is that doesnt take into accoubt the carlton bias. You coukd almost shift down half a step/a full step of each vote to take that into account. Quote Selected

It will all average it as favourable towards the club you support, for all 18 teams. Quote Selected
