Sydney v GWS Giants at the SCG, 2.10pm AEST (FOX)
St Kilda v Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium, 4.35pm AEST (FOX)
Geelong v Western Bulldogs at GMHBA Stadium, 7.25pm AEST (SEVEN)
Adelaide v Carlton at Adelaide Oval, 7pm ACST (FOX)
Sunday, July 31
Gold Coast v West Coast at Metricon Stadium, 1.10pm AEST (FOX)
Richmond v Brisbane at the MCG, 3.20pm AEST (SEVEN)
Essendon v North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium, 4.40pm AEST (FOX)....we have North's 3rd round pick in this year's draft
Freo beaten easily so result didn't matter to us but should give us confidence on our home deck especially as we beat Melbourne. Collingwood snuck home again which should finally put Port out of their misery although we still want one huge effort from them against the Tigers this coming weekend. The big loss of course was our doggies against the Cats but it was always going to be extremely difficult on Sedat's favourite ground. Adelaide beating the blues was a huge fillip for us as Carlton have a very hard 3 games to go which could result them missing the 8 altogether...heaven for us. West Coast nearly put the Suns out of their misery but the result still left the Suns with a flicker of hope if all other teams collapse. Brisbane's soft underbelly was on show again which resulted in the bloody Tigers pinching the win. Hoping they would lose another close game but wasn't to be. Essendon beat North which is good for our draft. Next week's rooting still to come.

If we win three and they win one, one of us misses out while on 13 wins - pretty rough.
Lions at the Gabba is certainly a chance for the Blues to get pumped. Hopefully the Lions make up for their poor showing this weekend with a 10 goal win against the Blues!

If Brisbane lose to Carlton we’re officially being trolled
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

The finals series will be so much more entertaining if Richmond and the Dogs can make the final 2 spots at the expense of St Kilda and Carlton.

Re: The unofficial "Where is T&T?" who to root for thread
RD 21
Demons vs. Magpies
Hawks vs. Suns
Giants vs. Bombers....who cares we hate them both.
Bulldogs vs. Dockers
Cats vs. Saints
Power vs. Tigers
Kangaroos vs. Swans
Lions vs. Blues
Eagles vs. Crows....Again don't care.
Most important game of course is our game. Super hard if we lose. Don't want to think about it because I am confident of VICTORY. Other ones speak for themselves. Favoured Swans only because of the draft. Nice to get first pick of 3rd round. Happy rooting everyone.

I have never said this to anyone B4L but you are a consummate rooter.
Rooting for others does not come easy but the rooting atm is for quite a few unrootables.

Agree with you BID. But nothing better than watching a game, not ours of course, where you have a vested interest in it. Makes it more interesting.

Any 'who to root for' thread that does not say I have to root against Melbourne is clearly wrong. Can't stand those guys. And why would we want Sydney to win?
What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

Firstly Sydney to win.I have previously explained it MJP. We have North's 3rd round draft pick. Simple. Personally I would prefer to face the Woods in the finals than Melbourne but each to their own.

Not that it's going to matter this year but would much prefer to front up to the Pies than the Dees at the MCG in an EF.
