Yes !!

Good that he is so positive, but i wouldnt post it in the main just yet.

Every single player for Carlton right now believes they can play finals. Every player at every club thinks that (their own team to play finals).

There not going to go through a massive preseason just to not make the finals, they want to play in September and that is what it is all about.

Look, I think we can make the finals - that's my hope.

Halfway through the season I may have to change that hope however

Yeah you have to live in hope.

We added a backup ruckman and a tall defender. Injuries in these two areas really hurt us last year. No more Teague playing on ruckman and no more Prenderghast running around like a chook without its head.
Fev was injured while Stevens and Kouta were carrying knees. We've got guys like Scotland, Sporn and Houlihan who went through terrible form slumps. A fit Thornton and Livo will help. Add O'Hailpin as a crash bash player. Put five kilos of muscle on Waite, Walker, Davies, Simpson, Bryan. Hope Murphy can play straight away and Bentick can continue his consistent improvement. All up, I don't think looking at what went wrong last year (i.e. injuries in out weakest area and particularly severe form slumps amongst some players) and then looking at our recruiting and the fact that some of the boys will begin playing at men's size and its not out of the question to play finals. We need some luck with injuries, but even so, we are much better placed to cover the loss of a Thornton or Barnarby than we were this time last year. If Kouta or Steven go down we will struggle though.

"I want us to win some games, and maybe sneak in to play some finals footy"

Wow ... a massive statement isn't it

A player has actually said that they hope to sneak into the top 8 during a preseason ... what else would you expect him to say?

i think Saddington will be correct we should see how many get it correct or not
in making the Finals in 2006 i say we should, each season is differnt, ya gotta go up sooner or later, the only way to avoid finals is to delibarately loose games
i think collingwood or Hawthorn will fight for 16th then we can laugh at them i hope we finish higher then Collingwood
