It would be great if we go into the last 4 rounds still in the mix for top 8. Even if we don't make it we should be coming out of this year with a realistic expectation of finals in 2019.
One of the main causes for optimism is the number of champion retirees from other clubs (and none from ours). The impact of losing those types can be more significant than anybody expects. St Kilda and WC in particular will be dramatically weakened.

Reckon the Cats backline will become a problem for them. Harry T. is no spring chicken either, now - 32 this year....

Agree ...Henderson and Touhy are no good at defending either....

I think Tuohy basically has one game style that he can excel at, if you stop him linking and running his weakness is body on body for any opponent his size or larger.
Henderson has the same problems at Geelong he had at Carlton, when the going gets tough he output becomes highly variable, it's like he picks and choses when to go with no consistent what for! That tells me it's all in his head!
When you see guys like Plowman, Marchbank, Weitering, SPS, Garlett and even Rowe(Before his injury) cracking in off HB 100% of the time, you really notice what Tuohy and Henderson lack!

Anyone that is physical and can take a mark will trouble those two....Touhy was often outmarked, outbodied by smaller players and Henderson likes being the 3rd tall defender but doesnt enjoy taking the Charlie Dixon types...

With their midfield, they don't need a backline.

Dangerfield bung Hammy, Ablett on one leg at 34 after an interrupted preseason... if they ain't on the park Kruds the Cats will come back to the pack very rapidly.

WC losing Priddis, Mitchell, Petrie and Lecras is stuffed... Naitanui would be miles off his best. They're going to struggle.
St Kilda and even Essendon might find losing those 3 long term players at once will bite.
