That is some speculative rooting right there! Good to dream!
Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
If the Suns and Giants can win today that is good for us. If North and the Lions can win tomorrow that would help us more but I don't think they will but if the Suns can do it tonight we are still a chance as Bevo said in the presser.

Only the Protestants.
I drove all the way to Ballarat today and rooted like a madman but it did no good.

Wearing protection? Or like, 'aroused'? It happens to us all mate, you're among supporters.
Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Easy now.
Win on Friday Night vs Hawthorn and we are temporarily 8th. Then all three results must go our way on Sunday knocking out Essendon (Freo), WCE (Crows) & Saints (Richmond). Assuming St Kilda beat North by more than 24 points.
Unlikely.

Carlton have just knocked the stuffing out of Hawthorn for next week. Could have been the perfect day for us had we held up our end of the bargain.
Friday night R23 is now a fizzer.

More along the "Catholics must have a biological imperative" line.
I didn't need any protecting. I was among friends many of whom were very busy rooting themselves.
Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
For those praying for a miracle
To make the top 8, we must beat Hawthorn, and 3 of these 4 things must happen:
1. Essendon must lose to Fremantle at Etihad
2. Melbourne must lose to both Brisbane and Collingwood at the MCG
3. West Coast must lose to Adelaide in Perth
4. St Kilda must lose to one of North at Etihad and Richmond at the MCG, or not make up ~22 points of percentage on us

Realistically we're done for, but nothing today could rule us in or out, so not sure how we approach selection next week
A big day of upsets would help though. If Brisbane beat Melbourne and North beat St Kilda, we would only need 2 of West Coast, Melbourne and Essendon to lose next week. If Melbourne & St Kilda win, we would need all of West Coast, Essendon & St Kilda to lose

And us to win. That's the one I'm not entirely confident about.

I'm on the 'anyone but GWS' bandwagon from here on in.
Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
I'm on the "AFL season finishes next Friday night" bandwagon. September is for MLB pennant races and the opening of the NFL and NCAA football seasons.
