The difference being that there is nothing behind your predictions. If you’d recruited a Dylan Shiel or the like, I could see some basis for a hopeful upswing.Everything about footy is speculation though. Don’t pretend anything is set in stone for next season. There are extreme likelihoods and things that are extremely unlikely but nothing’s certain.
However all you got was a 100 game forward who averages about 1.3 goals/game, a 50 game tall forward with potential, a 30 game backman and 2-game midfielder with injury worries. Better than nothing, but not what I’d consider enough to improve Carlton enough to climb out of the bottom 2.
Carlton’s hope of rapid improvement basically relies on age not catching up to Simpson, Kruezer and Murphy plus Cripps and Curnow not getting injured and several kids having breakout years all at once. I just don’t see that scenario as anywhere near likely to happen and even if it does, they will still probably finish in the bottom 6.
