Whilst Saints winning small would be great (a draw ideal!), I would take any Saints win. They have the Tigers and Dees have an easy draw.

I think you can make a case for the Saints beating the Tigers in a few weeks. Do not rate Richmond one bit.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

We could end up playing them in the first final at the MCG - now that would be a good result if it happens.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Yep, really need St Kilda to win.
Any year before now trying to finish 7th or 8th and play in the elimination final would have been seen as fighting for the consolation prize of your season going a week or maybe two weeks longer. Now teams see themselves as a real chance to win the flag no matter where they finish inside the eight.
It's made competition for spots that little bit more intense and more interesting I reckon.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Saints have been absolutely terrible.
Pies beating Port would be absolutely enormous to our chances.

I really don't mind seeing st Kilda getting their pants pulled down. If it costs us our spot in the eight then that's our look out for playing like idiots and not winning enough games.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Looks like a close one . Melbourne are back in Melbourne modeand a draw or a stkilda close win is good for us .
Need Collingwood to beat port, but it's irritating that we're relying on other teams .

As an added bonus it would get Bucks another couple of years

Yeah it's not ideal relying on other sides but we now kind of have to but if we win our next 2 games we should be in the finals.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Port win today
So the hope now is for
1. Us beat the Power in Ballarat
2. The Giants to beat the Eagles
3. And Suns to win over Dons and Lions to win over the Demons in upsets both not likely
If the Giants beat the Eagles will be 8th going into the final round so number 1 and 2 we need to happen.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
The only likely scenario as far as I'm concerned is us winning both games. Pretty confident we get in if we do that. If that doesn't happen it's goodnight 2017. If it's the latter, who do you root for to win the flag? I honestly don't like any of them and think they all would make weak premiers.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Poor round
WB v GWS - Nope
Syd v Fre - Nope
Geel v Rich - Nope
Bris v GC
Ess v Adel - Yes
WCE v Carl - Nope
Melb v StK - Nope
Haw v NM
Port v Coll - Nope
Round 22
Adel v Syd
WB v Port
Coll v Geel
GWS v WCE
GC v Ess
Carl v Haw
Melb v BL
StK v NM
Fre v Rich
Round 23
Haw v WB
Coll v Melb
BL v NM
Syd v Carl
Geel v GWS
Port v GC
Ess v Fre
Rich v StK
WCE v Adel
If we win both games, we need one of Melbourne to lose 1, West Coast to lose 1, Sydney to lose 2 and Port to lose 2 (one of which would be a loss to us) to make the 8. Any one of GWS v WCE, WCE v Adel or Coll v Melb would get us in
If we win one game, we need three of Melbourne to lose 2, West Coast to lose 2, Essendon to lose 1 and St Kilda to either lose 1 or not make up ~39 points of percentage to make the 8. All of GC v Ess, Rich v StK, WCE v GWS and Adel v WCE would get us in
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
