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.

Gold Coast Suns

The Suns are another team struggling with no real goals to work on for this season. They cannot make the finals and want a higher draft pick, but they don't want to lose games. At the start of the season the Suns were playing to keep Tom Lynch at the club, now it seems he's all but gone.

Much like the rest of the bottom five sides, the Suns will look to develop their youngsters and build on a game plan as they look to make a stronger run next season.
