5th is most likely going to be eagles. If we make finals odds on we get the saints

Assuming we win the next two, Collingwood lose next week to Port, and Saints beat GWS, then we will play Saints. If GWS beat Saints, we play Collingwood

Yes some are more important than others especially when you "love" the doggies.

We just need to win next week and we are in. If not then some serious rooting will need to happen.

The rooting needs to occur beforehand Eastie. The key games are played before ours!

Yep absolutely Aza. Majority of the games that will affect us played before Sunday evening.

Re: The unofficial 2019 "Where is T&T?" who to root for thread
My brother did a analaysis of the key games to watch next weekend. He is a Pies supporter, My Mum is a Demons supporter. So it is a 3 way family battle at my house next weekend on who gets in. Go Bulldogs!
If Collingwood defeats Gold Coast, they will be the sixth team to secure a finals spot. If they lose, the spots remain open.
3 out of 5 teams who can make the finals but haven't secured a spot yet will make it. Two will miss out.
Games to watch:
• Collingwood vs Gold Coast (if Collingwood loses it opens up, but if they win they're in.
• St Kilda vs GWS (If St Kilda wins, and they're through. If GWS wins, it opens up)
• Essendon vs Melbourne (Melbourne must win to have any chance to play finals. If they lose, they're out).
• Fremantle vs Western Bulldogs (Bulldogs win, and they're through. If they lose, it opens up for Melbourne and GWS depending on their results).
• Collingwood vs Port Adelaide (only relevant if Gold Coast won tomorrow night).
Bulldogs can finish 6th provided they beat Fremantle, GWS beats St Kilda and Collingwood only wins 1 of their final two.

Well Saturday we may well have a root that won’t be enjoyable at all, won’t come natural and won’t at all be easy on the eyes. Yes I’m talking about rooting for Essendon. To help the mood, I’d recommend getting out your 2016 GF DVDs and playing it in the background.

On a side note, for Melbourne to make it over the saints, in running the ladder predictor, they'd need to defeat essendon by at most 45pts assuming the saints lose by the bearest of margins to the giants. If the saints lose by more than a point, then obviously the winning margin required by the dees reduces. Melbourne v Essendon could be a fascinating game if the saints lose to the giants.

It's amazing Saints could miss the finals after being in the 8 the whole season.

If Collingwood, Bulldogs and Melbourne all win their remaining matches, they could all play finals provided GWS beat St Kilda.
Melbourne would need to win by a big enough margin to surpass St Kilda in those circumstances.

Do we give the Gold Coast any chance tonight? Would be very handy (and funny)

Oh I'd laugh. That would make my year.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
