Obviously nowhere near favourites But I think they'll make the 8. Their ideal scenario would be getting Collingwood in an elimination final. After that, they're in the semi finals and from there, anything's possible. They've made a Grand Final from outside the 4, twice in recent times and...

Carlton lost against Gold Coast as I predicted last week in this thread But they've still got their red carpet fixture to walk down, they're still 3-1 with a relatively healthy list (minus Cripps now with his hammy), and a 1-2 game headstart against some of their competitors Which means they...

I hate saying this, but Carlton is a serious shot at a premiership this year Carlton 2022 could be the next Richmond 2017 Finish really low on the ladder (both 8-14, 13th) Get gifted a generous fixture the following year Scrape into top 4 by the skin of their teeth Have someone step up from...

If you think GWS and Collingwood are as good as Brisbane and Sydney then, yeah, fixtures don't mean a lot. Fixtures can make 1 or 2 wins difference. That can be the difference between finishing 2nd and finishing 5th. Or the difference between finishing 3rd and 7th. History (and common sense)...

We play Geelong, Brisbane and Sydney twice- 3 teams all likely to finish top 6 We travel to Geelong to play Geelong, Sydney to play Sydney and (like Carlton) Brisbane to play Brisbane. Afl.com.au rates our fixture the 6th most difficult, Carlton's 16th (ie 3rd easiest). The only teams with...

Additionally Carlton has 6 interstate trips- GC, Freo, GWS, WC, Ade, Bris They miss two of the harder interstate trips - Sydney and Port. Plus they don't travel to Geelong, where it's bloody hard to walk away with a win. If Carlton doesn't make the 8 from that fixture and with a 3-0 start...

Just stating the obvious- Carlton have a very helpful fixture Quite possible none of their double up match ups play finals (Ade, Coll, Freo, GWS, Rich). At best, 1 or 2 of them sneak into the 5-8 bracket But no double ups against the heavyweights- Mel, Bris, WB, Syd, Gee- is a Bonafide...

Check the draw. I just did. Wow. Talk about a gift Carlton might actually finish top 4. Then they'll probably get pummelled by someone who earnt their way into the 4 instead of getting handed a nice path through. But still, this fixture gives them a real chance.

I am a one-eyed Saints man, born and bred, but.... This OP reeks of 100% pure envy Unfortunately, like Carlton, we've done almost nothing for over a decade. And unfortunately, Carlton looks good right now. More likely than us to change their fortunes this year. There, I admitted it. Just...
