A Tigers win tonight would help us quite a bit, but on the other hand, a Richmond loss does put them officially out of business for this season (with that low percentage) and its always fun to read their autopsy thread after a loss.
Below us are the ones we want to lose …
Bulldogs have the easiest run home - I’d prefer them to win tonight and effectively eliminate the Tigers.
Around for d’incluse below, just not bottom of the ladder below. They can win

So many permutations and combinations but the equation is simple - keep winning.

Not really. It's not terrible but it's not great either as it keeps both teams in the hunt.
At this point I'd rather just see teams eliminated or from contention, or pushed closer to it.
WB has some very winnable games coming up so even with a loss tonight, they're well and truly in contention for a finals spot. Richmond, a much harder draw, even with a game against the Roos in a couple of weeks.
Dogs win > Draw > Tigers win IMO.

Summary of this weeks results that favour us:
- Dogs v tiggs (tiggs by small margin)
- * v weagles (weagles by plenty)
- Crows v suns (suns by <50)
- Hawks v filth (no impact)
- Cats v port (port by plenty)
- Gws v swans (gws by plenty)
- Roos v dees (no impact)
- Aints v blues (blues by 1000)
- Freo v lions (lions by plenty)

Either side losing tonight benefits, but prefer Tigers winning
No, if the Giants win we want it to be big.
It's ok if the Swans win, but close would be better. We want Swans' percentage as low as possible.

Yeap - I hadn’t taken into account of points being out of sync by 2 points (due to draws).
So gws % not important. They can thrash swans to lower their %.

We don’t want teams outside the 8 to win obviously but dogs would be a good start.

Winner of Dogs and Tigers makes it for mine. Both have easy games the next 2 weeks and a harder last game.

The game tonight is where I want neither side to win, but neither a draw... If we keep winning then a Dogs loss would probably be better. But I just can't bring myself to say I hope the other lot win...

Just on the ladder. If everything insanely went our way, we could make 2nd on ladder (would need to fly through a Star Trek improbability field for that). If everything went insanely bad, 15th. My guess - 7th (with 2 wins, 2 losses).

If we win maybe slightly better if Tigers win.I still don’t understand who we’d prefer to win tonight
If we lose maybe slightly better if Dogs win.
That was just off a very quick look at the ladder so I may have overlooked something
