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.
Sydney Swans
The Swans are trying to make it nine consecutive years of making the eight. With Buddy Franklin looking likely to kick 900 career goals next week, and currently sitting in fourth spot, the Swans look likely of doing it. With the emergence of defender Jake Lloyd, the Swans look great defensively and even better on the counter attack.
Injuries could not of happened at a worse time for the club with Kieren Jack, Jarrad McVeigh and Dan Hannebery all set for time on the sidelines after picking up injuries against the Cats on Thursday night.
