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 Preliminary final
While they are showing similar signs to Collingwood of the last two years, a grand final appearance is a hefty pass mark for a side so fresh into a new tenure.
Ideally, they finish top four and take that step further with a preliminary final victory, though a tight loss to Brisbane at the Gabba or Carlton at the โG in the penultimate stage would be hard to condemn too harshly.
