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.
St Kilda Saints
The Saints have struggled all season and have been by far the most disappointing team so far. With expectations of playing finals, the Saints haven't copped since club legend Nick Riewoldt retired.
Alan Richardson's goal for this year is to play the youth and let them develop. Also, if they can get some confidence in the 2014 No.1 pick Paddy McCartin, the Saints will shape up better in the years to come.
