If de Koning doesn't take over as no 1 ruck, can they still win games?
On paper we rolled out a shocking defence in 2016 and won the flag with it.
They would be hoping like hell they do given he just signed a long-term deal.
I'm expecting Carlton to finish in the top 8 next year... they have talent & depth across the ground and barring an injury crisis they will be one of the better teams.

Carlton are pretty good. They'll play finals.

Yeah, I can't see them missing out. Maybe a little thin with tall defenders but pretty top notch everywhere else. I think I could talk myself into them being top 6 easier than I could not making the eight.

On balance they should make the finals - but this is Carlton. They missed last year after a choke in the 38th minute of the 4th quarter in the second last round, then coughed up a 40+ point lead in the final round.
I don't think we should ever underestimate their capacity to screw up. Great on paper, but need a lot to go right to be competitive.

Re: LOL Carlton
Those final two rounds of choking were not coincidental. They don’t have that dog in them.
