    Ok, let’s just beat the crows but... for a Fun sporty root.

    If Gold Coast beat greater waste of space by 20 and we beat the cows by 80 then we play George dubbleya at the G.
    I wonder if they would actually put it at Marvel. We got 60k against the Crows. But they are a fairly high drawing interstate team.

    I wouldn’t think GWS would pull more than a super optimistic 5000 (probably more like 2,500).

    Re: The unofficial 2019 "Where is T&T?" who to root for thread

    This is our last rooting weekend

    Freo to beat Port
    WC to beat Hawks
    Then of course for the final root Doggies to beat Adelaide.

    I know the previous 2 matches don't matter if we beat Adelaide but I am a cautious guy and have always liked insurance.

    You just like a good root.

    The rooting this week almost needs to be separated into a “If we win” and “If we lose” category. I think you have covered the model that guards against a loss and the model that most traumatised Dogs fans would be subscribing to.

    But, if we do end up winning I think we want the ladder to look like this:
    Brisbane
    Geelong
    Richmond
    Collingwood
    West Coast
    Us
    GWS
    Essendon

    This ladder means there is no way we have to travel to Perth and we would actually avoid WC until the GF (if they make it through three road trips). They are one of the only teams we haven’t beaten and the one I am least confident playing, especially in Perth, due to the makeup of their forward line.

    For this to eventuate we would want:
    Richmond to beat Brisbane
    Carlton to beat Geelong
    Hawthorn to beat WC
    GC to beat GWS and us to beat Adelaide by a total margin of about 100* (*to get the home final versus playing in sydney)

    This model also sees us play either the loser of Richmond v Geelong at the G (probably Geelong) rather than Brisbane in Brisbane. Some may prefer the finals inexperience of the Lions and a road trip that offers some extra vitamin D, which a Cats win over Carlton would deliver.

    Re: The unofficial 2019 "Where is T&T?" who to root for thread

    The perfect round of results so we don't leave the state through September...

    Carlton d Geelong
    Gold Coast d GWS by 10 goals
    West Coast d Hawthorn
    Brisbane Lions d Richmond
    Fremantle d Port Adelaide

    If we beat Adelaide by around 6 goals > finish 6th and host GWS with the top 8 as -

    Lions
    WCE
    Geelong
    Pies
    Tigers
    Dogs
    Giants
    Dons

    Giants at MCG
    Cats at MCG (Eagles d Cats in QF)
    Pies at MCG (Pies d Lions in QF)
    GF at MCG

    If we beat the Crows by less than 6 goals or lose by up to 4 goals > travel to Sydney to play Giants
    Then rest of finals as above

    We rooted until we couldn't root no more.

    Now come on team, we can't give up the 66 just yet....we'll want our boys to show some stamina and we should too!

    Main one here is Brisbane vs Richmond - a Brisneyland win will see Richmond host the winner of our game. *Should we progress, I'd much rather a semi at the G (we all know how a semi at the G against a former recent premier worked out for us)

    * with respect to the sporting gods

    I'd be equally as happy with Brisbane up at the Gabba in week 2 of the finals. Richmond are a better September team but we don't travel vs Brisbane young and possibly overawed but in their backyard. Eiither way we are back home for the prelim againat Geelong or the filth.

    Yep doesn't matter who or where they are. Reckon we can beat Brisbane up there.

    There will be no more rooting for GWS but I must congratulate WOOFERs on their relentless rooting.

    I was rapt for the group when they beat WC in 16 so it'd give them a chance to experience a final in front of 80+ thousand fans - who thought we'd win the lot walking into the G that Friday night?

    I'm back in that 'finals experience' mode - it's a shame this first game is @ GWS...except by the sounds of it, a few fans will be making the trek to at least TRY and give the joint some atmosphere.

    If we can't win it all this year (and we effing well can - but being pragmatic) I'd love for Naughton, Schache, Richards, Lipinski, Smith, Crozier, Young, English, Hayes & West (if he plays) to experience a close to full G.
