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.
Geelong Cats
At the beginning of the season it was to put together a game plan which best uses Gary Ablett Jr., Joel Selwood and Patrick Dangerfield; 15 rounds in, it's the same goal. Chris Scott needs to figure out how best to utilise three of the most dominant midfielders in the game.
The Cats have disappointed this season and what was once looked at as a certainty to make the finals is now not as clear cut. There's no doubt that Geelong have the talent to match-up with the league's best teams, they just don't have the game plan to. Chris Scott and the coaching staff will like to use the next few weeks to figure out the best way to play teams come finals time.
