Well now that Fev has gone and we are re-born somewhat as a team, I expect to see some fresh faces in the coaches box in 2010.

we will make the top 8 for sure. dont know why so many think we cant kick goals without fev. fev was lucky we kicked to him all the time, see how he go's up there next year. we have plenty of options in the forward line to kick goals. if we can click and have a good run with injury's anything can happan.

Top 8 for sure...

A balanced forward structure, an A grade midfield with a plethora of ruck stocks will see a healthy supply to the forwards. Coupled with an ever improving backline has us well placed.

Anything less will be due to a failure of our coaching staff.

My expectations for 2010 are to finish top 8 and win at least 1 final.
2011 - top 4
2012 - premiership window opens, anything earlier IMO will be a bonus.

It won't stop the amount of inside 50's coming into the forward line, and we will become unpredictable. The new season is such a mystery now .. I want it to start again next week

I been saying that all week......
No matter who plays up forward the ball will still come into our forward line the same ampount of times..... The KEY now is to find those who can Kick Goals

Stay tuned We're in for a BUMPY ride

With that list and if we develop across the board as expected Top 4 should be expected.

#NewBlues beginning 25th August 2015

It will be a big test for the coach in 2010.

but we will end up being the best team outside the final 8.

in terms of ladder positions - a development phase revisited.

But we will improve in 2011 and then re visit finals.

No way blueman!
I challnge your vision.
Your vision needs adjusting.
We definately make the 8...and even better than that.
I see the cup....it's not that far away!
Although we'll give it a shake next year...it's not impossible..but unlikely...however...2011/2012....looking mighty PLEASING!!
mY ORACLE knows best.
She/he is a beauty...my interpretation of her/him however is not all that flash.
For instance..this year I saw blue and white on the cup..but naturally thought we might win .

Blueman

At least you've made a falsifiable prediction now.

What is it about you that leads you to think that your deductions and vague predictions attain credibility when stated in soothsayer syntax?

Why not just be straight up and say:

"I reckon we'll struggle to make the eight next year, but we'll be back in the finals in 2011. I say we'll miss because Fevola has left, an eventuality I didn't forsee, because who could predict Fev's Brownlow performance? "

Didn't you say we'll surprise and win a flag well ahead of schedule? Was that at the end of 07 or 08?

Now you say we'll make finals in 2011 (I think). No suggestion of a flag in 2011. So maybe we'll win one in 2012. is that ahead of schedule? Or do you admit that this is all a silly attention-seeking game?

Obama won the election and so the WAR was called off thereby upsetting the vibrations in the universe that had us on course for an early flag...

Well some idiots gave him the Nobel Peace Prize so he MUST have intervened to stop whatever war Blueman referred to.

Can't believe Obama is accepting the prize - how cringeworthy

Teams I think will probably finish above us in 2010:

St Kilda
Geelong
Hawthorn
Western Bulldogs
Adelaide
Brisbane

All the other teams look pretty average IMO and we should finish 7-8th.

2011-13 our premiership window is open.

There is no footy god

im expecting we dont have a predictable forward line next year... if were kicking it to fev were going backwards...

Personally... i beieve ......and im serious.

if we continue to believe were not "old enough" ..to make some real inroads... we wont make any inroads.. and we will continue to make excuse after excuse.

if we work on structures and set ups and ball movement.. i cant see why we wouldnt be a top 4 team.

for every year we dont make those vital steps forward in how we play.. others will begin catching up and it wont be so much about making up ground on the teams ahead of us...but about fending teams hungry and organised coming over the top of us from behind.....

Top 4 and i'll be stoked...

I'm just looking forward to it all unfolding....and i won't have some stupid slogan infiltrating my mind and making my expectations too high.

The problem will be made. for the solution to be sold, to your face before your eyes, tolerance is now the new danger

I'm not expecting finals next year as its gonna take some time for the team to adjust to life without Fev. He was the barometer, he was the when in doubt kick it to Fev option and he won us games off his own boot. Im expecting some short term pain for our baby blues as they sort them selves out

Round 1 in 2010 would have to be one of the youngest teams the Carlton footy club has ever fielded without Fev (29), Stevo (29) and Juddy (27)

we win 1 to 2 finals next year!

This type of slight is alien in the more cultured part of the world - Walsh. Its up there with mad dogs, Englishmen and the midday sun!

Judds 27 next September.

Dont age the great man.

WIth Fevola gone is opens up alot of options in our forward line for waite,Kruz, henderson (give him a year or so his still only 19) he was pick 8 in 2007 same yr Kruz wen no.1 and maybe even O'haplin he played a couple of good games those are our possible talls nxt yr n we should have yarrn n garlett should play alot more footy nxt yr with eddie but if eddies not careful he could end up in da VFL in 2009 he started well with 30 goals after 12 games then he droped off a bit but he should b alrite should get fitter coz i love it wen he gets a run on da ball but i will miss fevola one of carlton best forwards but stuffed up to many times he had plenty of warnings but we will benefit from henderson n we'll see what we do wit pick 12 hopefully tall key defender i reckon we need. Our midfield is perfect i reckon juddy,murphy,gibbs,simpson( who is underated),mclean, and if A. Joseph one of the best taggers in the AFL in his 1st season if he can hurt teams more if he got the ball more n use it but a great shut down player if warnock lives up to expections hammer will b a good bak up ruckman n they all most prob rotate though the foward line with Kruz goin in sometimes
