The conversation went something like this - 'Hi Fadge, we believe you are historically the most accurate Ladder Predictor on BigFooty - what are your predictions for the 2026 season?'

7th seems pretty optimistic. Since you last won a final Gold Coast, Adelaide, Hawthorn and Freemantle have all flown past you, St Kilda strengthened at the end of 2025 whilst your list went backwards, as it did in 2024. I am struggling to see who in the 2025 top 8 regresses behind you. By the way what was the justification for including West Coast in your post covid analysis given post covid they have finished 9th, 17th, 18th, 16th and 18th

Gold Coast are nepo babies with silver spoons in their mouths they're going past most teams except for maybe Geelong and Brisbane. As for the other teams you mentioned they aren't more proven that Carlton and the reason I mentioned West Coast is because they've been worse than Carlton were in their dark ages despite people saying Carlton have been worse than everyone.

This is true in that blues at their worst we’re not as bad as the eagles have been recently
Important to remember Carlton massively underachieved in 2025, they’ve done a lot of work, Bo the on the track and mentally, to reset for next season
plenty of coaching changes

Success for Carlton would be more consistent performances and becoming a harder team to play against.
Must develop hunger
Yes as I've mentioned elsewhere Carlton had their worst 4 year period from 2015-2018 they won 19 games which is better than West Coast winning 11 games from 2022-2025. This is despite West Coast having a massive home ground advantage while Carlton are disadvantaged having to play at Docklands Stadium.
A GWS supporter labelling Gold Coast as ‘nepo babies’ is just about all time.
Gold Coast have goldmines for academies while we hardly get anything which is disappointing because Gold Coast is an AFL hotbed they don't need extra assistance. Chalk and cheese compared to Western Sydney which is arguably the toughest market for AFL in Australia.
Eagles have bottomed out, they’ll start turning it around but remain a long way from finals
Blues had the weight of expectation and faltered, will need to work harder to regain lost cred
It took many years of hard work for Richmond to regain their credibility and Carlton have a long road ahead of them in order to regain lost credibility, yes they could be a decent side this year with the right tweaks but regaining credibility and earning respect will take several years of sustained success just as it did for Richmond.
