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.

West Coast

Can their first four quarter effort be duplicated?

Having previously proven unable to complete a perfect performance across the first six weeks of the season, Adam Simpson's aerie finally strung together four consecutive quarters of football.

However, the burden of proving yourself adept at performing is that it identical executions will be expected from here on in.

After their Docker demolition job last Sunday, the Eagles' win/loss record for stanzas now stands at 15-1-12 - a 53.57% success rate.

With their opponents this week, Hawthorn, owning a comparative 17-1-10 record and a 35.17% success rate.

Due to the fact that Hawthorn are rebounding from their first 0-4 quarter by quarter game of the year, the numbers suggest that West Coast are in the box seat to duplicate their efforts - even if they are away from home.

Still, would I be banking on it after howling at them for so long?

Probably not.
