Ladies and gentleman of the Bulldogs Army - I have a dream !
In times of adversity we must unite. When common sense and self-preservation tell you otherwise, and the NRL Telstra premiership ladder holds is in the bottom half ... we must unite ! NOT for the players. NOT for the coach. NOT for the administration. But for each other as FANS !
For we all bleed blue-and-white. And we all suffer the slings of "r@pist".
Some of us wear the battlescars of epic battles past like those older days and labels like "Cheats".
We overcame. We survived. We stand alone as a powerhouse of rugby league in Sydney. We demand respect again.
Now (much like in 2008) comes a time of great challenge and unrelenting doubts.
Some of the darkest hours are upon us, as we seek to emerge from the mire of defeatism !
Ladies and Gentlemen of The Army - I have a dream.
I have a dream that we, the FANS, learn to "SING WHEN WE'RE LOSING" !!! - Take the power of the naysayers and the cheap shot merchants, and reclaim it by rejoicing in WHO WE ARE as a whole. Like the great sage of The Kennel Chris Bain once said - "Never surrender superiority ... especially in defeat !" ...
I have a dream that even when we're down on the scoreboard and all hope is lost, we SING proudly about "we are who we are" .... (I mean come on .... after all .... we 'could' be Rooster or Parra fans !!!)
I have a dream that we become the envy of the NRL as a core of fans ... that we can have a great time out no matter what the result. If one can muster the resolve and inner pride to SING when we're losing, one rob the victors of a free shot !!!
Ladies and Gentleman of the best NRL club in Australia - I have a dream.
As we look ahead to the season remaining, the first of many hurdles begins at Campbelltown on Friday. And therein lies an opportunity to "Rally round the family" in the face of some cold hard criticism, and division from within our fanbase .... UNITE with me on enemy territory this Friday !!!
Win, Lose, Draw - It matters not !
Come and be with family !!!
Share the relief of victory.
Or share the laughs as we go down singing ... together !!!
If you fear wasting money - UNITE. Singing will give you a "fun" night out with friends regardless of a result.
If you fear another week of taunts from idiots - UNITE. Singing will shelter you from the rain and show you you're not alone.
If you fear defeat - UNITE. Singing will lift you, and there's safety in numbers.
Ladies and Gentleman ... if we can take the focus off the field, and shift it to each other, making sure we appreciate each other, recognising the sacrifices we all make, and for a few hours simply enjoying the company of each other .... we can transcend all this poor form nonsense, and emerge a stronger, happier Army .... THAT'S my dream.
If we get a win .... Bonus !
We'll have more to sing about to keep us from the cold !
