You may well remember this wonderful membership drive put out by Carlton in 2010. From memory they cooked up 7th - some would say they were a little premature. Last year they stepped it up to 5th, and when I first went through the season a few weeks back, I foolishly had the Bluebaggers finishing 4th. After all, they have managed to scab Juddy back from the West under circumstances not overly dissimilar to those involving Scully (Visy pay him a fortune for "advertising"), they have stolen a player who should be with the Crows (Gibbs should have been with the Mighty's under the father-son law but we wos wobbed!), Murphy has probably superseded Judd in terms of effectiveness, Walker was finally living up to his first game promise, they have a few smalls through the forward line, and they finally seem to have a defensive unit.
However after a NAB Cup drought - 0 wins from the series - people are having their doubts. Me included. Most of their defenders are injured, Juddy had a poor pre-season... I have to soldier on though... I have picked em 4th based on the original premise, and it would be surprising to see em finish outside the 8. Smells like they're cooking straight sets losses in the finals then eh?
