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...
Sydney
Pass:ย Preliminary final
After suffering the same 2023 fate as the Saints, Sydney are the expected risers heading into 2024 with the vital additions of Brodie Grundy, Taylor Adams and James Jordon, adding to the inevitable improvements of young stars Errol Gulden, Chad Warner, Logan McDonald, Braeden Campbell and others.
Don't be surprised by another top four finish for John Longmire as the Swans look to contend once again.
