Are we getting ahead of ourselves?

we only need 2 wins we still have 2 byes

No he was right. Given the competition at the moment we'll need 28 or 30 points. We'll need 4 wins and the 2 byes to attain 30 points, we're currently on 18.

Nope I already took that into consideration 30 points will be the rough cut off

There’s a certain upbeat vibe at the moment. You can feel it in here.

Our team is at the top of the table, we’re playing well and we’ve made some really good re-signings. And everyone here is positive and talking about the Grand Final and the trophy in 2009.

Yes, I feel all that too but I am also very nervous. It’s only half way through the season and there’s still a lot of footy to go. Are we getting ahead of ourselves?

I’ve tried to work out why I’m nervous. Is it the memory of 2005 and 2006 when we made it to the Preliminary Finals and then lost to the Tigers and Storm respectively? Is it the memory of last year when we won 7 (I think ) in a row then stumbled into the 8 only to be bundled out by Manly in the first week of the play-offs? Is this going to happen all over again?

Am I being too pessimistic or am I being realistic? Or don’t I have enough faith and belief? Or am I just a normal long term Dragons supporter haunted by the past?

I know we’ve got some different players. I know we’ve got Uncle Wayne but I’m still nervous. I’d love it if we went all the way this year. Can you guys and girls convince me that we can?

Have a bottle Valium then drink a glass of wet cement and harden the f**k up......all is good and will stay good This pack of Dragons will go all the way or go down fighting hard.

Let's just take it one game at a time, seriously fellas...

I'm a big believer of 'jinxing' things...

Personally I don't think anyone on the forums is getting ahead of themselves but of course we don't want to get too cocky or overconfident.

As we know, it's almost certain that we will make the finals. If Brown were coach this year and we were in the exact situation as we are now, I'm sure some would be nervous. There's no reason why we can't make the gf this year unless we have a horrid injury toll or lose momentum somehow.

Really, if our attack clicks and I think there are signs that it is developing, we could be just like Melbourne from 06-08. The only difference being we may have more of a chance of winning more than 1/3 gfs as we don't have such a big representation in SOO.

Anyway nothing is certain. But let's just keep cheering for the Dragons and hope we can finally see that trophy that has eluded us for the last 30 years!

Last night I had a dream that we won the GF 10-8 against Brisbane after trailing 8-0 with 12 minutes to go. The crowd was nearly 82,000 at ANZ and it was in the afternoon, and raining.

Coincidentally the issue of us getting ahead of ourselves is discussed today. And we are in rainy weather (in sydney).
