so its the Dees and how sweet a win would be. I do not expect anything this year and so I'll go to each and every game expecting a win. See come gameday I give free rein to my heart and my heart only knows one dream and that's the dream of another bluebagger victory.

So for mine, Fev to play a blinder. 7 from him and three from Fish and we're on our way!

Frenchy to draw equal in the ruck and our midfield to win more of the ball than them. Kouta to kick 2 and still win plenty of the ball from the middle. Simmo to break their lines while Walker off half back shatters their resistence with a 25 possession bottler of a game (and first up contender for mark of the year).

Skinny to run 'em ragged and add 2 more to the score while young Murph to draw the oohs and arhs of the crowd.

Down back, the back six manage to break even because they have a midfield (finally) that wins the hard balls (thanks to AB, Carrots and Kouta). So while they kick a few goals its never enough and its never a run on - run ons have been killing us but not this game, not this year!

T-Bird finds his touch and Whits burns them time and time again while Houla joins in the link game and feeds Fev with three beauties to his chest.

Blues win th arm wrestle and in the last fifteen minutes pul away and win by 21 points!

Ahhh let the games - the real games - begin!l

And then we wake up. LOL, nah i think we can win, especially after beating some good teams in the last few weeks. Fev looks intrested and if the like of Stevens, Kouta and co and deliver we have many targets. With the mighty Lance down back, some confidence will show in the back line. Im not to worried about Nietz, we stop Robbo and it's hard for them to kick big scores.

Hopeully Carlton does it for Koutas 250th.
Although looking back from last years massive marquee game ( LAST GAME at OPTUS) it didnt end to well did it.
