Where Will Carlton End up in 2011

[starchamber]

O.K folks big year ahead this year with Carlton who should be one of a few big movers this year.How do you think the team will rate seriously.I know their will be some Collingwood,Richmond and Essendon supporters no matter how good they think they are will rate them poor.

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

9th to 14th

 

[mattys123]

Same again, 6th to 10th, they will improve a little bit, but other teams around them will improve more.

How many games Judd (already struggling) and Kreuzer (coming of a knee reco) play may decide if they can sneak into the eight or not.

No chance of top 4 though.

 

[Giddy Up]

I reckon they will be on the improve from last season. Depending on injuries i can see them in the 3 - 8 region.

 

[The Octopus]

6-8th is about as bad as i can see. Have such scope for improvement on past 2 seasons where they were around this mark. Im tipping 4th. Rucks, Mids, Depth, forwards very good. But need White, Austin, Bower and Jamison to become players down back. The talls they recruited last draft are still a few years off and cant be expected to do much this year, so 2 of the 4 i named need to become much better players. Think Yarran, Garlett, Lucas, Warnock and Henderson will be big improvers. Gibbs and Murhpy need to explode. Waite and Kreazer need to stay fit.

 

[Bomber32]

Around 9th. It would not surprise me at all if they made the final 8.

 

[the distributer]

4th to 8th, no chance for a flag though.

 

[starchamber]

9th to 14th

Why on earth would a team slip so far to 14 from 2 years improving.The only reason to that is if the club is hit hard on injuries or on the piss.

 

[Simmonds2Hislop]

2nd to 6th

 

[Blue and Silver]

Worst Poll Ever.

I'd explain why but I don't think I need to.

I agree players like Austin need to grap it this year or face the chop.The squad every year is harder to cut.The days of years gone by they had no choice but to give as much years.Austin and Ohailipin and Thornton both need to get form back or their spots will be very limited this year.I think we will only cut/trade or lose a max of 4 or 5 this year.

With recent spate of off-field incidents at Carlton, I selected the poll option of "on the piss" as you put it

Because 13th to 17th isn't on there?

and your point is?

 

[starchamber]

and your point is?

The point is at least 7 clubs are not way as good as our team on any day.They either years behind in development and skills.No club can magically go bang bang and perform like a good side in a short period of years.Collingwood took nearly 10 years to get that flag after taking a dip for a year or 2 during those grand finals losses.Those bottom 6 clubs pretty much rebuilt from scratch the last couple of years or so.

What you talking about the boys have all behaved great no incident.It's going to be a big year wait and see don't even be surprise if they make the grand final.Some people will have egg on their faces when September comes along.Mclean looks really fit and no one seems to be walking around like they visited Hungry Jacks for dinner like previous years

 

[damochandler]

5th or 6th. Get a home final and maybe get through to the second week

You make me smile

 

[serenityNow]

If anyone is on the piss its you SC.



its time i updated the sig SC, give us one of ya gems......

 

[jonoman89]

3rd-6th.

Hilarious that people think we'll miss the finals, but no one thought we'd make them in 2010 either.

Full stop, SPACE BAR, then go again....

 

[peejay]

There is a Polls board you know.

 

[SeaEagle]

Top four, injuries permitting.

 

[The Bomb]

6th around here some where.

 

[Domenic Fotia]

On player ability we should just about win the premiership however I think we are poorly coached.

Collingwood are obvious favourites but the Magpies aside there is not much opposition.

Expect Geelong and St Kilda to slide so positions in the top 4 will open up.
