    6th Prelim in 25 years - take this opportunity

    6th Prelim in 25 years.

    Just want to get to the big dance ... Take this chance boys.

    Will be a massive game next Friday night, if we bring our defensive pressure, intensity, run and carry we are a huge chance.

    Bring it on.

    indeed.


    Gonna be a long week!


    Bring it on.


    The Sainters will be cr@pping the dacks at the thought of how much a waste of a year it has been if we win.

    Also great to see two of the non-powerhouse teams in a prelim.

    I'm 44, have barracked for the dogs since i was about 5, and they haven't played in ONE gf.

    IT'S BLOODY TIME!

      I'm very glad we have not gone out in striaght sets. I am not going to be satisfied with close enough, but having said that I am realistic enough to recognise that whilst we are theoretically in with a chance, form wise over the course of the season Saints have shown they are the best team in the competition, and for us to win we will need all 22 players to play the game of their life.
      I'm certainly not getting my hopes up.

        Half heard an odd stat on Ch7 - is it true that we have only won 13 finals in 85 years?

                  This is the time that the boys can really show how much it means to them,

                  Did they learn anything from last year?

                  Are they still hurting?

                  Have they spoken with the likes of Hawk, grant and co that missed their opportunity of a lifetime against the Crows a few years ago.

                  Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                      You and The Coon Dog are banned from attending in that case. Do it for the team.

                        We'll pressure them hard, feed off the turnovers and record a famous victory, like we would've if we'd had crack at them in the GF in '97.

                          I actually prefer us not having the week off, and trying to keep up the momentum, you see it alot, mid season break, and the team looks rusty the next game back.

                            You could also ask that question of St.Kilda too.

                              I hope the hurt of last year is still burning deep. If so the boys will be very motivated. I'm sick of being the bridesmaid, i want the big production to be about us.
