The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread

[Eastdog]

There is still hope.

Win Friday night and next Sunday becomes the important day for us with results hopefully going our way.

Lose Friday night and it's 2017 over. 2018 here we come!

That's a hard list to get enthused about. If I can muster any interest in watching any of them it would be may be the Saints. That's only because they have had it as hard as us.
But I would like to hear GWS out in straight sets.

GWS out in straight sets would be nice.

Amen brother. Order of not wanting them to be '17 premiers:
Plastics
Crows
Geelong
Dons
Sydney
Port
Eagles
Melbourne
Saints
Tigers

Surely the Druggies are second?

Why do we hate Geelong again? Aside from us losing against them.

Chris Scott, Harry Taylor and Joel Selwood. Although they would be infinitely more preferable than GWS.

Aside from the Dogs rooting, I'd love to see this next week:

Geel beat GWS by a couple of goals or more - more likely than not at the Cattery
Rich beat StK by any margin - more likely than not
Swans to make up tiny % difference on Port and finish 5th - possible, both have easy games next week

If these things happen GWS will finish 4th and have to travel to Adel first up. If they lose they will likely cop the Swans in Sydney in week 2 - straight sets would be a nice outcome for those pricks.

That's brilliant!

[Eastdog]

If results don't go our way next week anything that makes it harder for GWS is good.

[bulldogtragic]

I wonder what the quadie odds are for:

Dogs, Freo, Adelaide, Richmond

I wouldn't take them. But if Dogs can sneak over Hawthorn, Adelaide & Richmond should win too then it's just Essendon vs Freo as the main game. Freo looked shit today, but maybe that gets used by Ross Lyon to fire them up next week.

Ghosts of '97 and their self-entitled fans make me not a fan of crows although I do like some of their players. Liked Geelong in their hay day, especially Bartel. Just think they've had enough success. Essendon - got a friend that is don's member and kind of feel sorry for some of their fans and like Joey Daniher a lot - reminds me of an unruly but loveable puppy.

[KT31]

I think my rooting is done for the year.
Just before I woke up this morning I dreamt I looked over at the bedside table to see $100 bill and a note that said, "we will always have 2016,
Love WB."

[Twodogs]

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.

Love baseball. Always have but I don't have a team, I like to root around a bit when it comes to baseball. Usually I pick a different team each year so I had better get into it. Monday morning NFL is pretty good too. I made an effort to understand NFL because my son was pretty keen for a while and now I'm hooked.

Kardinia Park was an awful place packed full of farm boys and regional dickheads. I've been called Western Suburban scum by redheaded, bucktoothed, inbreds and abused more often there than any other ground. They used to get very lippy when they outnumbered us 10 to 1.

Then there was "Billy you are the king of Geelong" or whatever he said when Brownless sunk us that night and the other 12 finals to One record or whatever it is that they have over us and the fact that Chris Scott still hasn't lost a game to Bevo.


They are an awful club.

'97 is gone for me after the premiership. I'm fine with it. And I had a really great time in Adelaide last time we played them apart from the actual bit when the game was being played.


Although. I would like to knock them over in a final just to scratch that itch...

[The Adelaide Connection]

Ross Lyon has always put strategic positioning above winning when going into finals and I have a gut feel the same is true at this moment with draft picks.

We desperately need Collingwood to knock off Melbourne on Saturday, which would mean a Fremantle win will not impact their ladder position and we may just see them turn up and have a red hot crack. Only a few short weeks ago this team should have knocked off GWS in Sydney.

It's not over yet. Stranger things have happened.

I think if they weren't fired up last week after losing by 104 points the week before, then they sure as hell won't be fired up after losing by 104 points for a consecutive week.

[bornadog]

I think if they weren't fired up last week after losing by 104 points the week before, then they sure as hell won't be fired up after losing by 104 points for a consecutive week.

and they were playing at home, where you think they could have performed better.

It will take a miracle for Essendon to lose this week, or we could win by 100 points and Collingwood win by 100 points
