Alright, folks.
You should all know the drill by now.
There are 18 teams playing in nine games this weekend, and because nothing in this life is either perfect or complete, we here at Zero Hanger still believe each of these aforesaid combatants still come with a raft of question marks.
So, before the second month of the regular season draws to a close on Sunday evening, we have sought to answer each club's most pressing queries ahead of Round 8 of the AFL season.
Sydney
How are the sprinting Swans looking this week?
Despite previous suggestions that the lactic acid may have already set in, John Longmire's previously sprinting Swans may have bolted slowest from the starter's gun last week, but it still didn't stop them crossing the finish line first.
With a current record of 5-2, and a present ownership of the ladder's fourth rung, Sydney have proven themselves adept at winning multiple ways and against multiple teams.
With their third win against a current top eight team coming last week, the question must now be asked - do these overachieving Swans have a formula to defeat the Demons?
The Sydney Swans AFL team will travel by charter flight to Melbourne tonight ahead of their Round Eight match against Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday, May 8.#Bloods

If they prove able, then you will need more than just your pocket money to buy shares in them, as the price will have skyrocketed.
If not, then there is no need for alarm bells, as from Round 9 onwards, the Moore Park club have the league's second simplest run home ahead of them.
For this reason, it is unsurprising that the Bloods are rated just shy of a 70% chance of playing finals this season.
However, had you suggested this fact in February, you would have been trumpeted out of town.
Whichever way the result pans out on Saturday night, the footballing world is set to know so much more about this Sydney side that caught us all with our socks down.
