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

Yep, GWS at ANZ would be a good result but you know the AFEL will hand them a home prelim on the basis of 'crowd capacity' not warranting a bigger ground.

Would be outrageous. Would think 10,000 Bulldogs will make the trip. They were getting 18-19k for their home and away matches. The AFEL certainly want GWS to go through but not at the expense of a significant hit to their bottom line.

Theyve already pumped millions of dollars into the plastics. If the only cost in the benefit analysis of having GWS play a home prelim final was disinfranchising a bunch of bulldog supporters then they wouldn't even think about it for a nanosecond before saying yes.

Stevie J wont play another match this year

Josh Kennedy back on after having definite symptoms of concussion - what a joke.

The AFL, just like the NFL, pay lip service to brain injuries.

I am liking the way this game is shaping up. Lots of niggle. Just one good punch or knee short of a melee.

Would be the club doctor that ruled him ok. I'm not sure if it was the standard 20 minutes either. Swans will get a big fine.

Johnson possible week suspension. Mills two week or more hammy. Who are we rooting for now?

[bulldogtragic]

Bulldogs obviously

Geelong, yeah, tough call to say you want to play the 3-time defending premiers in week 2 but Geelong have smacked us twice and Hawthorn haven't been as good lately

North no, we won't play the winner of North & Adelaide unless they get all the way to the GF which would be in Melbourne, prefer to play an interstate side

GWS yes, haven't got the hardened finals experience if we meet them in the prelim

So three roots from three. Adelaide winning makes it all four our way!

Not on my watch you dont.

Go Roos.

I want GWS to win so thet my revenge fantasy can be fulfilled - West Coke in Perth, followed by Hawthorn, then GWS and then take your pick out of Geelong or Adelaide.

[boydogs]

Do we want Sydney or Adelaide to win? I'm thinking Sydney, more chance to take down Geelong who we haven't gotten near this year

My ex-wife dropped around to see the kids and got caught up in the moment watching the game with us. It's been a long time since we were in the same room rooting.

I expected better of you

I demand, by the powers cast upon me (by myself) that we all hold hands and barrack for the swans tonight


Reasons

1: I hate the Crows
2: imagine the cost of airfares from Adelaide if it's a dogs v crows gf
3: other vague football reasons
4: the crows supporters have given me so much grief in the last 20 years they can all Gagf

I said I want Adelaide to lose and you're disappointed?

sounded like there was some doubt
