Simple question, how many wins do you think we will have this year (not counting finals), everytime I suggest to people at work that Carlton will finish top 5 they give me strange looks (stranger then normal).

I predict 14, I think I am being realisitc.

Said much the same to Terry Wallace on Twitter today. 14 wins is realistic. That means 8 losses. I think 14 probably gets you 5th this year...I'd be hoping for a couple more, but injuries and form will dictate that.

Take the average number of wins for the 4th place team over the last 5 years and add 2 to be safe.

14 is a must. Any less is really no progress with the entire list they have to work with, coaches, and this new no passenger attitude. I went for 14 but would hope 15 isn't out of question or a possibility. Hope I am correct comes finals time. :sly:

Terry Wallace doubts Carlton's quality

Quote:
But Wallace said the list did not have enough quality to win that many games.

He said the decision to give away early picks for Chris Judd, Robert Warnock and Brock McLean had shortened the Blues' premiership window dramatically.

Wallace yesterday called on the club to get behind Ratten, saying any sort of negative whispering campaign would quickly undermine his position.

"Where I see (the Blues) in the next 18 months is if they don't do extremely well, they will go backwards rather than forwards," he said.

"They have gone out and traded a first-round pick for Brock McLean and traded reasonable picks for Robert Warnock and they did the Judd deal, which they had to, but it cost them Josh Kennedy and a first-round pick.
