carlton may finish between 7th and 13th...pending on luck and injuries...HEY! Quit editing my posts you filthy animal.
A finish somewhere between 12th -9th but I will definitely happy if we can climb out of the bottom 4.
Finals in 2008 would be a real bonus but I can't see it happening just yet and until we can recruit/draft/develop 2-3 tall big bodied defenders, we won't finish anywhere near the real business end of the ladder for a few years yet.

The team that's going to own your p!ss weak rabble in Round 1 - again.
On topic 8-10 wins finishing just outside the eight would be a great platform for our young team.
They can go quite high in my opinion. Worthless crooked accomplishment. The question is how low can they drag the league in general. Imagine if all the bottom teams start tanking halfway through the season next year as many Carlton supporters/administrators think is acceptable behaviour. Half of each week's games would be a farce. Let's hope that no-one else stoops to Carlton's depths.

I bet you wish that was true...! LOL
Another person wants to bring up tanking...well done!!
I guess you have evidence like all the others...or is it still unproven speculation, driven by the media world!!!
Did you watch any of the games we tanked???
Did you see the boys after the game who were gutted week in week out!!
You think Lance missed those goals against your team Melb that could have saved his career in an attempt to get the number one pick....
You think the young guys enjoy losing??
Be serious for a minute, while getting draft picks is good to help rebuild...on-field success breeds like wild fire....
So back to the topic, Carlton to finish 8th to 11th
Improved Midfield, capable forward line....better administration than the previous 20 years and better rehab team and facilities will all prove the big winners that will help the on-field.

When I think of Carlton all I can think about is how god-awful the draft/trading system is in Aussie rules footy. It's been said a million times but being rewarded for finishing bottom is ridiculous, and it needs to be sorted out. I honestly cannot even talk about the Blues' chances anymore because it all seems so hollow. This isn't a crack at Carlton; if Adelaide were at the bottom I'd be disappointed if they didn't take full advantage of whatever is on offer. This is a crack at the AFL; fix the system because it sucks.
Why thank you. I thought I did a good job.
Unfortunately yes - a couple.
Yep. I never for a moment said that the players weren't trying their guts out. You can check all my previous excited comments on the matter for verification. The only Carlton player I have any strong negative feelings towards is Eddie Betts, and that is probably just because he is a small forward and they're easy to despise ie Milne.
No and no.
Coaching, board decisions, and considerable (obviously not total) supporter acceptance and enthusiasm for such practices are what bother me. I'm not saying that all Blues fans are like that, and there are several Blues posters on BF who I totally respect.
I'm different to many in that I like having the PP system in place to help struggling clubs, and will be disappointed when it needs to be removed because of exploitation.
Loved reading through the Judd thread on Nicks bulletin board ...some of your posts there were hilarious
the overall bitterness when Judd chose Carlton over the Pies was well worth the reading lol ty .

Will finish higher than the the filth in '08 you'll see.
Pies 07 = easest draw - finished 6th -had a good finals run - are already ahead of themselves - which will mean 11-12th finish in 08 for the filth.
There's just NO way Carlton will finish ahead of Collingwood in 08. You're delusional to think otherwise, not just optimistic.
FWIW, I think Carlton could finish 11-16. Teams to return to form next year should include the Bulldogs, Melbourne and Freo. I expect them to finish ahead of Carlton too. Grats for getting Judd, but he won't be any magical cure-all.

You're an absolute disgrace! Back to your cave.
I'm sick of pussy supporters like you who are being "realistic". Go follow another team, I'd bitch slap the lot of you if you were near me at a game with your pessemistic attitude towards the team! I would hate to see you or some of the other Blues supporters here anywhere near most of our younger players with your mediocre expectations.
CARLTON WILL FINISH TOP 4 IN 08 EVEN IF MOST OF OUR SUPPORTERS HAVE NO FAITH THAT WE CAN ACHIEVE IT!
Wow, have another cone dude, you're gonna need it!!!

Thats just your opinion ..and you know opinions are like arseholes ...everyone has one.
Derr Fred, it's a forum, it's all opinion and speculation with the rare bit of intelligent conversation thrown in.
Personally I believe that we can probably finnish 7-8th and just sneak into the finals. I would then like to see us make the 2nd week of the finals.
Many people seem to forget that we have been tanking
So now when we actually try to win some games, how well do you think Carlton will go in '08?
PS: Please be realistic, I will review @ the end of the season!!!
LMAO
so which 8-9 teams are the Blues better than?
As high as 6th if EVERYTHING went our way, and as low as 14th if EVERYTHING didn't go our way. Realistically, I think 9th.
Given that Melbourne finished in the finals last year and were widely tipped to challenge for the flag this year (as well as their repeated 'yo-yoing' between top and bottom) I would say that there is more evidence of Melbourne tanking the season than Carlton. At least Carlton have been consistent in being a crap side over the last 5 years.
Realistically they'll finish somewhere between 1st and 16th.
i think about 12 to 14
