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.

Although both the number crunchers and the tipsters have Leon Cameron's percussion as warm favourites for their Saturday afternoon fixture with the Dons, this same line of thinking is unlikely to be extended for the remainder of the season.
With the Orange and Charcoal clad side set to face Richmond, West Coast and Brisbane before the bye, the hatches will need to be battened west of Central Station soon if they are to remain within touching distance of the cut off for finals football.
