... dare to dream

In some ways this season has been about laying more foundations and getting out of the ground , to use building parlance. 

The team now not only dares to believe in itself it knows it can win, not as a one off, a fluke but because they dare to play a team game.

It's still very raw. It's still got a lot of refining and polishing to come but all in all the Dees, to borrow Kennedy , have stopped just thinking about winning by beating and and all comers they are doing it.

Dreams into Actions.

Petition the AFL to shift the Cats game to somewhere where more than a handful of hillbillies and their sheep can watch the game.

... say this feels like 1987.

Start to look at match-ups...

Viney v Selwood

Vince v Dangerfield

DREAMONLAND.   Well for at least one more week !   Go Dees !!

Ban the next person who sooks about the Essendon loss.

Not going to lie, it pisses me off that we have to travel to Geelong AGAIN. 

Since 1990, we've played them there 19 times (compared to 18 at the MCG, 1 at Optus Oval).

Does any other Melbourne team have to travel there as often as Melbourne does?

SWYL would be a front runner for that one!

There's a few just in this thread! 

It's something I personally don't understand, not just in footy, but life in general: looking back and having a big old cry about ancient history.  There's nothing else we can learn from that Bummers loss.  It's happened, nothing we can do about it now, just focus on the dream!

Cash out my "final 8" bet with Sportsbet for about 2 grand I reckon. Cash out up to $700 now

Gets me also.

Can I sook about the West Coast loss instead?

Or even the North loss, which if we'd won, would have us level with North on 11-9 right now?

I doubt it.

One of the benefits of our strong finish, I sincerely hope, is that when it comes to fixturing we're positioning ourselves as the team to get a better deal next year.

Too true.

The one thing I think that the players have learned from it, is that we can't go into games believing it's already won.  While we've turned the corner in the last few weeks, I think it started all the way back in Round 2 with that loss.  It was an eye opener and we've moved forward superbly from it.

No, you may not.

Because Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, Richmond and lately North are exempt from playing there, so us and the Bulldogs have to pick up the slack every year.

 

That Essendon loss tho...
