      Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

      My only fear is in years gone by when we have been favourites we have concocted a way to lose. Then again this wonderful young team and Bevo do not have the scars we long suffering supporters have. Dare to dream, Go Dogs!!

      T&T and BAD, If we do best the plastics - whom would you prefer to meet, and whom would you think we match up best against?
      Josie :)

      Our day will come
      And we'll have everything.
      We'll share the joy
      Just like '54 again.

        Not Geelong. I think our best match up is Sydney.

          I think we can do them both. Before Libba & Macrae went down at Kardinia Park we were in it to our eyeballs. Close down Danger & Selwood and they're easily gettable. Neither of them scare me if we keep playing like this.

            Agree. We fear no one. This is our year.

              With Morris, Suckling and Matt Boyd in place of Adcock, Roberts and Stevens in the lineup.

              If anything, Hawthorn, who Geelong should have realistically beaten fairly easy on paper, got within an errant set shot of toppling them.

              We are good enough to beat anyone put in front of us.

              Our destiny is in our own hands.

              If anything GWS at Spotless is our biggest test.

              We overcome that the only thing standing in our way is ourselves.

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.

                  Dare 2 Dream Bulldogs.

                  The Dream is Clear. Gws-$1.55, Dogs-$2.65
                  The Dream is

                    Have no fear Josie, we haven't been and won't be favourites in any game. Don't be scared (my dear old dad who never misses a game and who I desperately want us to win for has all the scars you and so many have) you can see the excitement in him but a reluctance as well, after 09-10 I think he resigned himself that he will never witness it but still gets there every week. I've been telling him this time it is different, there is something different about this team.

                    In years past the Finals were predictable, you had to be top 4, it is designed that way, the gap from 1st to 8th to big, we have tried the traditional way it didn't happen. We were a mighty side in 09 and it didn't happen. He says How can we get there if we didn't then?

                    Because This time around is like no other before it. The gap between sides is nothing, anyone can win it. So far it hasn't gone to plan for the AFL the top sides are losing, bottom 4 sides are winning interstate. Reigning champs are going out in straight sets, it is tailor made for us. We are breaking records every week, we are defying the odds and the so called experts, we are defying the AFL. Now we have been given the opportunity to deny the AFL their dream for GWS, it is perfect.

                    Karma is about to come full throttle and we are the rightful deliverers off it. That's why I believe it will be Sydney that we knock off in that last Saturday...we couldn't of scripted it any better.

                    Dare 2 Dream.

                      Re: Hawks + GWS = Grand Final

                      Teams of yore would never have one the first final in Perth.
                      Teams of yore would never have one the second against the Hawks.

                      This team can beat GWS. We almost beat the Cats last time till we lost Libber and Macrae. Cats survived the Hawks by one bad kick.

                      We can go all the way.

                      History is changing, these young heroes are smashing history to pieces.

                        Totally agree.

                        GWS and us have the depth of talent. The only thing that can stop this weeks winner is themselves.

                        We need to be at our best against GWS and it requires 22 players playing their part.

                                Of the 17 other clubs in the league, we have beaten 15 of them this year now.

                                The only 2 left to tick off our list are GWS and Geelong.

                                Would be an amazing statement to beat them both, win our second flag having beaten EVERYBODY!

                                That's what they call 'undisputed champions'.
