    Root The Rooting Now. When only winning will do.

    Beat GWS, get in the Top 8 tomorrow. Then beat Adelaide, stay in the Top 8 and play finals. Some rooting today (Adel & Port) has allowed us our own destiny now.

    The alternatives losing against GWS and then final round of teams losing, margins/percentage are a losing bet.

    As the wise one BAD would say, "I only care about winning".

    If we win this week and next and Essendon win tonight (5 goals up atm) and lose against Collingwood next week, that will put us into 7th. We all know what happens when we finish 7th. We will likely play the plastics week 1 as well which makes tomorrow's game all the more important.

    If today's results (Bombers withstanding) doesn't energise our blokes tomorrow, then nothing will.
    Go in with the application of last week and not only can we prevail, but we can really begin to grasp what may be on offer.
    It is now entirely in our hands.

    If we go down, and they get a 60++ win tomorrow. Yep, they'll have a fire in the belly heading to WCE.

    Beat Adelaide = 8th (play Collingwood or Richmond)
    Collingwood beat Essendon = 7th (play GWS at Spotless)
