    Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

    One of the best opportunities we have had for a long time. I am extremely confident.

    Of course we need to win the first part of the equation, but it is doable, no doubt.

    Hawks @ MCG 7.5/10 Chance.
    GWS @ ANZ 7.5/10 Chance.
    Geelong @ MCG 7.5/10 Chance.

    So good chances in all three, if we play to our talent level and if injuries don't cruel us. I'm prepared to believe in what we dished up Thursday.

      It's wide open. We have the best chance of winning a Premiership this year that I can remember. All this of course is built upon our devastating performance on Thursday night.

      Talk about peaking at the right time!
      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

        Talk about a week (or 2 in our case) is a long time in football. We were limping to the line after the freo game and I would of been content if we were competitive against the Eagles. Now I can't see how we could possibly lose!

          That's a road we can take.
          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            If we can get through next week, I implore every Dogs fan if they can afford it and are able, to get to the prelim and make it like a home game atmosphere. Really unnerve those plastic ****s.
            Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

              I'm in. We'll flood the place. Thing is, effing AFL will probably give away free tickets to Sydneysiders to drown is out and also cover the blushes.

                    Yeah. There will be heaps of tickets so we can turn that to our advantage.

                    We should mount Operation Bulldog and attempt to get as many of us up to Sydney as we can manage.

                        Before our game for the life of me I just couldn't find a way through. The Storm was just too dark...but it's like the Sun has just parted the clouds....is the Storm lifting? Last night I thought right now we have a better chance at the Hawks, we have never beaten them in a final but we finally could match up with them....then Smith marks it and I thought we were done....bang he misses and the path become clearer again.

                        The only way would be if somehow GWS upset the Swans...bang they do and now our path is there, there is a way.

                        I've always dreamed and believed the only way we would ever get to that last Saturday would be through an impossible route, completely unexpected and complete outsiders. An Elimination Final interstate, then a final against the reigning champs, then a Prelim in Sydney. We won't be favourites in any of them and that's just how I've dreamt it.

                          The old saying is that it's always darkest just before the dawn. It did look pretty bleak immediately post Freo but inside a few days it's all turned around. Still lets just focus on the Hawks for now.

                            2 x 8 day breaks will help.

                            Thursday night v WCE
                            Friday night v Haw
                            Saturday twilight v GWS

                              Definitely not getting ahead. We have never beaten the Hawks in a final and it will take an epic performance, they will not roll over and we will have to be unrelenting. Players coming back can be alright first up, but second up is harder. But I want another crack at them. They ended Bobs season lets end theirs.
