With the ‘hit and giggle' matches and the arduous pre-season training regimes now behind each team, fans, coaches, and players alike have set their sights on the real deal – Round 1.

For some clubs, the pre-season period could not have panned out better, whilst the unlucky remainder will be counting the cost of their campaigns.

Although there were a myriad of positives to be taken from the summer months, all teams will be striving to improve on their practice match form and learn from the lessons dealt out across them.

With the first bounce of the Sherrin just over a week away, we raise the big question that face each of the AFL's 18 clubs.

West Coast

Is this their last shot at glory?

It would be foolish that state that West Coast's roster is anything but primed.

With stars on every line and a favourable fixture ahead of them, you could do worse than to part with some of your hard earned chasing their Premiership odds.

However, with the 3rd oldest list in the league, is their Premiership window closing?

Realistically, it is far too early to tell and with many of their stars just entering their prime, it would be a rash pundit to put them on the clock, but with irreplaceable names such as Shannon Hurn and Josh Kennedy entering their winter years this winter, time is still ticking.

With three games against 2020 finalists between Rounds two and four, we are likely to have a fair indication of where the Eagles stand after the first month.
