There will be no Grundy's at 'The Dash'....

Would it be Swan or Lulie Street?

This would absolutely be a Lulie Sans Grundies year.

I'll wear a Clokette jumper on my head.

What are we all saying.

The Lulie Sans Grundies Dash if we make the Grand Final or win the Grand Final?.

I'll need to know early to start preparing myself. Hard to get in for the Back, Sack and Crack with such late notice.

A GF win by 100 points before the dash happens.
My memories of VP and surrounds are all great. I don't want them ruined with the sight of middle aged men bouncing around the streets naked.
I'll buy Josh Fraser memorabilia if we win a GF , and post the receipts here.

There's just this little thing - two unbeaten teams after 12 rounds - standing the way of this fanciful scenario. Oh yeah I know the wheels are about to fall off the Saints. And the Cats our bitches. Pfft. If only.

MR, there's a HUGE "if" in my prediction.

I don't think we can win against all three of those teams in consecutive weeks. They are too different from one another. MM would need three different game plans in three weeks.

good question ronnie as conjecture still lingers over 'that' 2002 call. whats the statute of limitations on these things...

100 points hey tarz, coz theyre that easy to win. agree though josh fraser lithographs will be selling like hot cakes.

going with the theme, bad bad leroy brown might have found himself a new player sponsor...

Totally delusional.

They didn't wreck our top four aspirations with that last round defeat - we already couldn't make the top 4.

That was one loss that I could see coming all week - we had nothing to play for and the prospect of having to back up the following week with a final at AAMI meant that we were never going to go all out.

If we had beaten Freo, we would have finished in 4th spot ahead of St. Kilda on 52 points with a better percentage.

Yeah, what a wanker.

According to him they 'smashed' us in round 22 by 24 points and were 'narrowly beaten' in Round 1 by 26 points.

Fellow WM - only winning the Grand Final constitutes the Dash (with media tip off and all).

And given the propensity for Melbourne to throw up some cold winter nights, I would suggest you keep all the natural warmth that your mohair provides.

Wood's dud, Sidey for Beams is consistent with MM's approch of rationing game time for the young uns. Marty's down on touch.

Still, 3 unforced changes after winning 4 on end - I think he's looking ahead.

Dawes has been going alright in the VFL. It would be great if he could take this opportunity with both hands.
