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.
Richmond Tigers
Back to Back? The Tigers will be aiming to win it all again. Sitting first by a game, the Tigers are making it look comfortable out there. With Dustin Martin not having to carry most of the work load, the club has been exciting to watch thanks to Josh Caddy and Jack Riewoldt.
Jayden Short has been a new starter from the 2017 premiership team and looks set to do well in the club's best and fairest this year. With eight games left of the season, Hardwick's team looks to make oppositions scared and create a dynasty at the Richmond Football Club.
