T&T it's about time for the 2016 root thread

[Daughter of the West]

This is not the root thread this is a prompt.

So we're rooting for some rooting?

OK trendetters, here it is. The official. often copied but never bettered "who to root for" thread. T.M. pat. pending.

For those who came in late, this will guide you on who to barrack for each week, for the greater good of our beloved dogs.

Please be aware, there are weeks where you may have to barrack for horrible teams such as the Crows....or Collingwood!

And also, i'm completely unaccountable and as the season pans out previously you may have had a root that you thought was a good idea at the time, but you are now ashamed of and hope no one noticed.

But seriously, the Dogs are in the Premiership window, so i'm not aiming for a top 8 root, i'm rooting for top 2 (at this stage)

Who to root for this week, in order of importance:

1 WBU vs WCE . Classic 8 point match, although when we win we will only get 4 points.

2 NM v Rich I dont rate NM and i'm predicting we will finish above them
3 GC vs Syd Well, Ablett scored 100 + SuperCoach points last week. In Eade we trust
4 GEEL vs GWS Because GWS are better than Geelong and could win 3 of the next 5 flags

gap

5 Ade v St K
6 Haw v Mel

Gap

7 Bris v Carl
8 Coll v Port

9 Freo vs Ess - save your legs.

I like it, aiming for a top 2 root straight off the bat! Gives us some wiggle room if we need to lower our standards!

When two top 8 sides meet I auto go for Vic side to avoid chances of interstate final.

Interesting a rooting thread including wishing players and coaches are rooted, I suppose you can't have one without the other.

[Remi Moses]

I think we also need a hope they both lose thread .
