The Saints go into this match as favourites and rightfully so. They have been the best side all year but as we all know, nothing is set in stone and there 20 wins during the season counts for nothing when Friday night rolls around. When the ball bounces it is a two horse race and the better side on the night will win. The bulldogs have the steely resolve from last year and know that they have what it takes to knock off the Saints.
There is no room for complacency, every player must go out there as if there careers rely on there next performance, knowing they have a chance to make a name for themselves and be part of that bulldogs side that made just the clubs 3rd Grand Final in there history. They have the motivation, they have the experience, they have the drive and most importantly they have the skill to beat anyone in the competition. We fear no one and we will not be intimidated by the Saints.
This bulldogs side has been criticised for not having big enough bodies and not having that hard edge to match it with the big boys. Well this Friday night we have a chance to prove those in the media such as Grant Thomas wrong. We are the real deal, we aren't simply making up the numbers. We are a team on a mission and a team that will give there all for 4 quarters to guarantee that this side goes through to a Grand Final. We can't afford to let players such as Goddard run free, we must choke them down in there own back half with forward pressure. They are only human and if we apply enough pressure they will make mistakes.
Take advantage of the wide open spaces that the MCG has to offer, run and carry and honour the lead instead of bombing away. If it bleeds it can be killed and the Saints can bleed in prelims as we can. This is time to make us proud, this is a time to deliver on the disappointment of the last 48 years, now is the time to stand up and be counted and move into the Grand Final and create history.
Our supporters have waited to long for a grand final, we have waited to long to taste the ultimate Glory. We are just 2 wins away from reaching the summit on Everest. We can't rest by our morals but go out there and play like men possessed because we all believe and kno that this isn't were our season should end.
IT SHOULD END WITH A PREMIERSHIP!
GO DOGGIES!!!!
