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...
St Kilda
Pass: Make finals
The Saints are the expected slider heading into 2024 after achieving overs with a home-final exit last season.
Their midfield still lacks the X-factor fans have begged for, though the presumed development of young guns Mitch Owens, Marcus Windhager and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, just to name a few, could potentially keep them in the finals race in Ross Lyon's second year of the new tenure.
