    My dilemma

    So after the 1997 PF I vowed that I will never wear a footy jumper to the game until we made a GF (I may have shared that before).. I have kept that same jumper in storage waiting for the day.

    So now I'm at a point where I think I need to wear a footy jumper to this weeks game.. Decisions.

    That is a tough one. Very disciplined of you! I'm inclined to say, it's about time you dusted off the old jumper. This seems like our best chance yet to scare away those old demons!

      I would wear it Mantis.

      Not wearing it hasn't done much good in the last 19 years.

        We need to show the boys all the support we can this Saturday against this heartless AFL contrived and fully backed machine.

        As the old proverb goes, many drops of water make an ocean. I say drop your vow Mantis, show your colours and unite as one to send the plastics packing.

                  Its time to break it out Mantis

                  My own rule is I will not go to a grand final until we are in it

                  For you, regardless of us making it to the GF or not, this is a bulldogs team to be proud of, like few others, and its going to be important to represent our colours at this game, perhaps like no other games in our history.

                  Yes, we will win or lose independent of your jumper - but I it is time for you to wear it. We'll never get over 1997, but we have to forge on. You wearing it is a tangible display of us all being ready to create bulldog history. And I feel confident this team will do us proud.

                  Personally, Ill be wearing my classic robodog jumper (from that 1997 era) with the number 4 on the back

                      Walk towards the fear. Wear it.

                        Dust it off - I am. Check this out, knitted by my Nana for my Uncle in 1979. I drove down to Colac yesterday to get it so I can wear it to Sydney. This way a little bit of my Nan who passed away in 2014 can be at the game too.

                              If he went to 1997 prelim the answer is obvious. What is the point of this post?
