BT we need to hit the draft with pick 9. I get extremely nervous, extremely nervous, when we look to trade high end picks.

I should've added, for the right player. If there's a gun on the market that addresses our needs, we should be exploring it. If we can't get a top level player, then for sure, take a punt at the draft with Dal.

Back to Back? Do they have a compensation pick for something?

Then we will lose value. For some reason one spot makes the world of difference in a trade (pick 8 is worth far more than pick 9) but it seldom makes that much difference when you're drafting. Sure there are situations like Ben Long being taken the pick before we were going to take him but Ben Long ain't worth tanking games for.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

B4L is bang on. Great position for them having back to back. We all know Dal has said how much he loves back to back picks.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Do we have any rooting left in us or do we no longer care?
Personally I will be rooting for anybody who plays GWS. Other than that I'm not too fussed.

If you look at the top 8, reluctantly, I only want Tigers to go all the way. The others have all had their go and I hate GWS & Essendon with a passion.

GWS out in straight sets would be nice.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Actually now that we can't win can we just give GWS the *!*!*!*!ing premiership so we can all stop worrying about what the next thing the AFL are going to do to try and destroy the game in order to give GWS another leg up?
Don't even play the finals series. Call a stop to the season and present the cup to GWS now. That's how much of a farce it will be if ever they win a flag anyway so we might as well get it out the way.

They could go all the way but the AFL would try and do everything for them to win before the decade is out. I think the Crows will beat them in the qualifying final as it is in Adelaide at Spotless they would be slight favourites.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Lets see:
-Adelaide - i hate them. They sook way too much so no
-Geelong - sick of them so no
- Richmond - Should be the team to root for. But their fans are just so irritating. So arrogant from nothing. It'd be hilarious to see them out in straight sets
-GWS - no friggin way
-Port - don't care about them
-Sydney - don't seem to mind them but after Longmire sooked it up i can't stand them anymore
-Essendon - cheats
-West Coast - don't care but they've had their day
So for me it's Port. And it should be Richmond but their fans drive me nuts. So the fact that it's Port means i couldn't care less.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
By my reckoning Sydney have the fewest punchable heads of those participating, and it's hard not to admire their resolve this year.
The rest of them can GAGF, especially you GWS. Them failing, whoever the eventual premier, will be reward enough on its own.

Re: The official 2017 TandT Who to Root for Thread
Wouldn't mind Sydney or Port winning. Port have no chance so Sydney it is.
My preference goes like this:
1. Sydney
2. Port
3. WC
4. Richmond
5. Adelaide
6. Geelong
7. Bombers
8. GWS
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
