    But what if we avoid them? It's not over yet. Big win next week coming up is the first down payment on our resurgence. Watch out rivals. The Bulldogs Momentum Express is about to leave West Footscray Station.

    But they won't play us at their Toy ground.

    Thanks for pointing that out. When you have your dreams of beating Geelong on their dungheap shattered in 30 minutes you tend to get hit with PMDS (Post Match Disappointment Syndrome) the major symptom is clouded judgement which lasts until someone, such as your good self, comes along with the antidote - a reminder that the Finals are a whole different ball game for everyone.

    And we have just come off a slashing win against Melbourne which is solid proof that we can beat any team

    Plus we have proven you don't have to be in the top 4 to do some damage. Up up and away.

    Lions putting Tigers out of their season's misery and out of Bulldogs way. Just St Kilda left to rival spot 8!

    I've done the predictor.

    It's going to come down to winning that Hawks game in Tas! Us or Aints.

    We lose that we don't deserve to be in.

    I suspect that regardless of that result we don’t deserve to be in.

    Surely you could say the same about Saints and Tigs. Why not us, finals experience for some of our younger players like Marra, West, Garcia etc would be invaluable.

    This is true, it would be great for them and on our day we are good enough so who knows.

    However.......I don't think we're the team that can consistently win finals football 4 times in a row this time around. I think we're broken and we need a lot of changes to repair that damage, player personnel, coaching, doctors, boot studders, it all needs to be reviewed at seasons end. A miss on the finals will push that into the spotlight rather than a short finals campaign and paper over the cracks.

    I hope they don't review the unofficial official Bulldogs forum in that sweeping review.

    Few McCombs kicking around here.
