Going into his seventh year as coach of the Fremantle Football Club, Ross Lyon had the huge task of taking the Dockers back up the ladder after plummeting down it following their minor premiership in 2015.
Coming off a season in which they claimed their first wooden spoon since 1998, the Brisbane Lions entered 2018 with their finals drought extended to eight years.
The Gold Coast Suns have experienced some turbulent years in their short history, but 2018 was perhaps the nadir.
With 24 wins from their last 88 matches, the general feeling amongst the supporters of the famous Carlton Football Club was one of impatience.
Coming off a disastrous end to their 2016 season in which they lost ten of their last 12 games before bidding farewell to veteran quartet Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Michael Firrito and Nick Dal Santo, not many expected North Melbourne to be one of the big hitters in season 2017.
Heading into their second season under Brendon Bolton, the Navy Blue army were buoyant after a promising 2016 campaign that yielded seven wins.
With just ten wins from their previous 44 games, Rodney Eade and the Gold Coast Suns entered season 2017 under enormous pressure to perform.
After a tough but promising first season under the tutelage of new coach Chris Fagan, the Brisbane Lions were awarded the dubious honour of the wooden spoon for the first time in club history since 1998.

There were some brilliant individual performances from both up-and-coming stars and established guns Round 16, with a first-time making the Team of the Week.
Some huge individual performances headline what was another entertaining round of football in the AFL.

The bye week might have meant we were down on games this week, but there were still plenty of fine performances in Round 12.
Thanks Mastermind, that game was also considered but I left it out due to the lack of contest the Bombers gave for three quarters.
The ten best Round 11 games from the past ten years
So you’re suggesting I swap Lachie Neale into Cam Pedersen’s position in the ruck?
I appreciate your weekly feedback Don, but maybe take the purple glasses off once in a while.
