What should a pass mark be in Kingsley's 4th season at the helm? Have gone PF > SF > EF in Kingsley's first 3 seasons so a pass mark in my opinion should be to finish top 4 and/or win a final as the list is still in good shape despite a number of prime movers beginning to exit their peak years anything less than a finals appearance and Kingsley should come under pressure.

Pass mark should be top 4 given the list and what Kingsley’s done in his first three years, but I think injuries have really changed what’s realistic for 2026. If Tom Green is gone long term and Kelly isn’t back until late, that’s pretty much the heart of the midfield missing for most of the year. Then you throw in the niggles and interuptions to guys like Bedford, Oliver, Stringer etc. it’s hard to judge them as if they’re a fully fit side.
Obviously inside the club they’d still be backing themselves to contend and aiming for a flag, and fair enough. The list is strong on paper. I just don’t think that’s a fair pass mark this year when so much depends on keeping bodies on the park.
For me, top 4 was the pass mark before the injuries. Now, a pass mark is making finals and winning at least one. If they finish anywhere from 5th to 8th and jag a final win, that’s a tick. Anything better than that from here is a bonus.
