Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
For finals, the equation is simple. We only need 3 things to happen:
Dogs beat Port
Dogs beat Hawks
GWS beats WC, or Adel beats WC (at Domain and Adel might already have top spot sewn up)
Other preferable results as follows:
Syd beats Adel - makes sure Adel are at full rat power in R23 against WC. Also gives Syd a top 4 chance and Rich to drop to 5th.
St K beats Rich - gives us chance to play Rich in first final at MCG (assuming we finish 8th)
Carl beats Hawks - knocks Hawks out of the race and also puts Carl ahead of Norf for Hrovat compo
Geel beats GWS - ensures a Vic club finishes top 2 so there's hope to draw an MCG PF if we make it that far
BL beats Norf - consign Norf to the spoon and better Hrovat compo pick
I'm discounting major boilovers like Melb losing either of their matches or Ess doing so.
Imagine Dogs sneak into 8th and play Rich in first final. We then play Syd (who loses to Adel in 1 v 4 QF). Cats beat GWS in 2 v 3 QF at the Cattery. We then cop Syd at the SCG and conjure up a miracle, which takes us to Geel at the MCG for a PF.

A solid two weekends of rooting ahead, assuming we beat Port.
If we don't beat Port....then we are rooted.

We can't rely on other teams losing, we must win the last two.

We have to rely on WC losing otherwise the results of our games are insignificant, unless we can make up about 8%.

I'm going to be rooting my brains out this weekend. It might be our last root for the year so we have to root like there's no tomorrow.
We owe it to the boys and to ourselves.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
I'm still not sure if Sydney beating Adelaide was good or bad last night, I was barracking for the Crows until I read the post above. And sorry I haven't added any value to this thread next year, some big bad things currently going down in my world at the moment but hopefully will be sorted soon((ish). All good, go the dogs

It's an excellent result for us. Means GWS and Adelaide will both have huge motivation to beat West Coast. Which is our only hope of getting in.
Good luck with the non-WOOF real world fuss.
