With the first month of the AFL season drawing to a close, narratives for all of the competition's 18 teams have begun to arise.

Whilst some are struggling and others are thriving, you can bet your bottom dollar that each of the league's list of polo shirt wearing pedagogues will still be desperate for improvement this weekend.

With this in mind, here are the key quandaries facing every AFL club ahead of Round 4.

North Melbourne

Was that their rock bottom?

In short, yes. Yes, it was.

After conceding 167-points and losing by their greatest margin in almost four decades, it is fair to say that North Melbourne sit alongside a snake's backside and a shark's dropping at the lowest point imaginable.

Still, as the adage goes, it is always the darkest right before the dawn.

Although I'm not saying the Kangaroos are set to rebound at any stage soon, they do have a raft of influential names set to return.

With no team going an entire season without a win in 57 years, history would suggest that the Shinboners will taste success at least once this season. If you are a fan or member, keep turning up and keep your TV sets on, as you won't want to miss it when it happens.

When you lose like North did on Good Friday, you realistically have nothing else left to lose. Like your coach David Noble, back the kids, Roos fans and bust out your VHS tapes from the glory days of the 90s if you need a pick me up.
