With Judd, where do Carlton fans expect to finish in 2008?

Id be very happy if we make the 8 next year.
Thinking 10-7 anywhere below will be an unsuccessful year.
Does it have to be Carlton fans?
I think they will improve alot. Judd and Stevens into the midfield, allowing young Murphy to develop without close attention. Further development from other young players.
The problem is their defence leaks goals and still will. I reckon a finish from 9-12 is most likely.

I expect the Blues to have a bit of a slow start to the year, still learning to work around the new midfield set up (Judd, possibly Hadley and a returning Stevens) with a new coach in Ratten, and then really hit their straps at the business end of the year, finishing 9th or 10th, with about 10-11 wins for the year.
Anything else is a bonus.

I suspect that we will be much like Essendon this year.
There abouts in contention for the final spot in the 8. We may get there, but I highly doubt it. 9th-12th looks about right.

He chose another club champ, perhaps time to move on with yours (life that is)
Top 8 would be an absolute bonus.
I'd be happy with 9th-12th.
Look out in another few years though
I'm expecting to finish out of the bottom four. Getting Judd will make a huge impact on our midfield, even though our defense is still shaky - but with a good midfield they will have less amounts of pressure. I would say somewhere just outside the 8, or perhaps even make the finals if luck goes our way.

Carlton will now have one of the best midfields (Judd, Stevens and Murphy) however with only one key forward (Fev) they will still struggle. They are also short down back. I would expect them to improve (10th perhaps) but losing Kennedy will hurt them over the next few years until they find a replacement.

Fact: Having Collingwood on your profile means you have zero football credibility. It's a pre-requisite to becoming a Pies fan.
I'm not expecting a whole lot.
Some people said St.Kilda would miss the 07 finals as a result of adjusting to a new coach (Lyon)
So wouldn't we expect the same kind of thing of Carlton? But then we consider player development, judd, stevens back...
I'd think anywhere between 10-14.
Of course, severe injuries or a great run with injuries could see that give 1 or 2 positions either way.
Who knows.
I'd be shocked if they did make the 8.

Not with the midfield we have now. No way.
With only 22 on their list, when the inevitable injuries occur I expect them to struggle!

That's ok, means there's 16 other players on the list that are above ordinary, who can play in the seniors with Judd. 5 duds can be covered.
still pretty low they will improve but so will those just in front of them and they have a lot of ground to make up. I reckon 13th with melbourne essendon richmond behind them.

Top of the bottom 8.
Judd will be great for them......but he is only one. But the rest will lift. Expectation will be high.
Pratt will fix it, one way or another!!

Ma va fa in golo,
you carlton boys have been rolling around in S**t for the last 6 years now your disalutioned with a bit of good news!!!
prepare yourself for another long year boys !!!!
The wild card in all of this, is the state of Judd's groin. Does he have Osteitis Pubis? Even if surgery fixes the problem, he is going to have an interrupted pre-season.
The other thing to consider is the time it will take for Carlton to learn how to integrate Judd into their line-up. After Judd won the Brownlow, teams started tagging him heavily and it took a while for West Coast to develop counter strategies. It could take Carlton a while to do the same.
IMHO, they won't do much in 2008. Expect much bigger things in 2009 though.
