The way I see it, the best plan is the one that no one has proposed yet.
It'll be tough to pull off, and a bit risky as it relies on a few results falling out way but I reckon, after we win the derby, we throw everything we have at losing the last 3 games. If other results play in our favour, Hawthorn end up minor premiers, 2nd and 3rd get filled by any two out of WC, Bulldogs and Sydney, and we finish 4th, forcing us to travel to Melbourne to meet Hawthorn in the QF, where we smash 'em like we did Geelong twice previously in finals campaigns, and then take a week off while the footy world walks around, at first dazed and confused, and then scared senseless at the realisation that Freo are unbeatable, and anyone else who shows up to the GF is just there to make up the numbers.
