It's logical
The club are actively pushing a "no great expectations, we'll give it a go, but the main positive in 2017 will be watching the kids develop" line.
When the commentators (and supporters) look at that they think "OK that's Carlton out of it. But we can probably expect improvement out of everyone else that finished below them except perhaps Brisbane...and no-one is going to drop far enough that Carlton will overtake them."
17th or 18th!
But ladder positions aren't decided in March
