As both the players and their coaches continue their strides in season 2021, distinctive groups have broken out throughout the race.
Some, like the Bulldogs and Demons, have dashed from the starter's gun, with the desire to create lightyears between themselves and the pack.
Sadly for others, they are barely attached to the peloton anymore.
Whether first, second, third or 18th along the road to the last Saturday in September, every side and their side coaching team still have question marks over their head.

Has the gorge between their home and road form shrunk?
After predictably claiming their first win on the road for the year last week, some may be moving to rid the Dockers of their โJekyll and Hyde' tag.
However, even though the club has proven they can win away from the west, the looming query about their inconsistency still remains.
With a match-up against the league's punching bag North Melbourne this weekend, Fremantle have been afforded the perfect opportunity to string a trio of wins together for the first time since June 2019.

If the Dockers do deal out some damage on Saturday night, then you can be sure that their current top eight chances of 42.6%, and their percentage, are only going to strengthen.
If not, we will know that Justin Longmuir's side is simply an inconsistent one, rather than a team with homesickness issues.
