Where do we draw the line between success and failure for each AFL club in 2024?
Every club faces different challenges, has different expectations, and are on different trajectories each season.
Some teams have the simple equation of making finals or winning the flag. Others may need to show they can perform in September, or challenge for the eight without the requirement of making it.
What should be expected of Melbourne after an off-season of drama? Is it premiership or bust for Carlton? Could the Bulldogs' pass mark be the difference between keeping or losing Luke Beveridge?
See what we think below...
North Melbourne
Pass: Escape bottom two/win five games
North just need to show the competition that this midfield is truly one to watch for the next decade, find a threat forward of centre beyond Nick Larkey and show some capacity to hold up defensively without star personnel in the back six.ย
Five wins falls just short of doubling their 2023 tally and is achievable with two victories potentially coming from matches with West Coast alone.
