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?

Pass:ย Win a final

If this off-season of vast change results in another bottom 10 finish or measly first-round finals exit, it may spell the end for one of Luke Beveridge or Chris Grant at the Bulldogs.

While the star power on this list may be overstated, it is there and still improving with age. There are no excuses left for this side not to finish top four and feature in one of the final two weeks of the season.ย
