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

[Bulldog4life]

So was the draw the best of roots or the worst of roots?

Best I would say T & T. As good as a loss for Richmond. Because we go past them into the 8 if we win. Simple.

Good root. That draw might be the decider one way or the other at the end of the year.

[Sedat]

The draw hurts Richmond with their superior percentage ahead of everyone else, it's akin to a loss for them. I know were only a couple of percent behind them, but we'll be flat out just to win the next 3 weeks let alone worry about percentage boosting.

The draw only helps Freo if they keep winning - it will hurt if their season gets wobbly as they're percentage is well ahead of the chasing pack (Carlton and Collingwood specifically). Sydney are also behind Freo but have a butter soft draw and are playing better and will make top 4 IMO.

So was the draw the best of roots or the worst of roots?

Only time will tell! Looks good right now.

Might give us a bit of clarity from here on in to focus on the 4 points and recovering for the next week, rather than trying to boost the percentage late in games.

I did a ladder predictor, just to see how this draw might conceivably help or hinder us. Basically my estimation is it's better than them winning, but worse than them losing, for us.

If they had lost last night, there still would've been a reasonable probability pathway for us to make the 8 even were we to lose the next two games against Melbourne and Geelong. Now, with the draw, we've pretty much got to win 4 of our last 5. This assessment is obviously based on other fixture results going as favoured over the remaining H&A(which we know they never all do).

It's a tough road, but if any team loves to get on an unexpected jag, it's our guys. Now would be good...

[MrMahatma]

The draw would only be good for us if we thought Freo were going drop. A Richmond loss would’ve been much better than a draw.

Anyway, we need to win.

That's a given. But the draw much better for us than a win for the Tigers.

Thought I would get in early so all you good folk can get in the mood for your rooting next weekend. Our game...of course... and Freo winning shoots us into the 8 so all focus on those two games. Unless another team collapses...we can always hope... it appears we are after Richmond's spot for the finals. GO DOGGIES.

We did good on the weekend. Doggies win was the most important which was great. We are in the 8! Richmond's draw while not as good as a loss still was much better than a win for them. We were unlucky with the Bummers...typical Bummers. Geelong and Brisbane did their duty. Next week is again an important one.

I reckon we want Collingwood to finish 5th, above one of Freo and Sydney, so we’re not interstate round 1. Their win over Essendon could be good for that outcome

Would prefer the Dockers to roll the Dees to all but completely remove the smug look off Gawn's face.

Love it.

Reckon it is going to be slim pickings for a decent root this weekend. Bit like my own life

What about indecent?

[Happy Days]

Damn we’re probably out of the 8 at the end of this. Desperately need the Saints to do the right thing and perform to their historical level.
