The pointy end of the season is coming up. The last few weeks of the regular season where every team is giving it their all, week in week out. Every side is trying to finish as high in the standings as possible, attempting to make finals and gain a home ground advantage.

However, that's not all. The coach doesn't walk in and simply tell the players "we want to make finals", each team has specific goals tailored to the way they play game in order to make it as far as possible in the competition. We're going to look at every team's situation and dissect what they want to do and what they need to do in order to hoist that cup at the end of the season.

North Melbourne Kangaroos

The Kangaroos have been the surprise team so far this season. Currently sitting out of the eight by percentage, Brad Scott's men will look to put their foot down and make a surge into the eight in the back half of the season.

If the midfield can get on top, North look hard to stop. If the ball gets kicked to the leading goal kicker of the competition, Ben Brown, teams will struggle to beat this side.
