Yes We Can!

Bullets fans are daring to dream as the club enters next week's grand final against The Wannabees. This is despite the fact that The Wannabees have defeated The Bullets in both of their encounters this season. The Bullets lost to The Wannabees in Round 3 and so it was to be again this week, with the side going down by 14 points. However, The Bullets will be buoyed by the return of sharpshooter, Andrew Merryweather, who returns this week.

Warren 'Coachy' Burford has been trying to keep a lid on the excitement this week, as the club prepares for its first grand final since forming a little under 5 years ago. 'Coachy' has put a media ban on all players, preventing Sunrise viewers from seeing Dean Jones' weekly travel segment, "Deano's Destinations".

He has also intensified the club's training sessions, a move that has reportedly angered ruckman Luke '32' Barisic, although no-one is sure, since he hasn't actually shown up to one of them yet.

The harsh sanctions were introduced after the club's tumultuous grand final parade on Tuesday. Thousands of fans flocked to Swanston St as city traffic stopped to a standstill. The only problem being that the event was totally unauthorised, with the club now facing a hefty fine from Melbourne City Council for disrupting traffic flow, and a large clean-up bill to remove the alleged seven tonnes of tickertape that the players were showered with by overzealous fans. Thus, it was no surprise when Lord Mayor Robert Doyle picked The Wannabees to win the game by 20 goals in the celebrity footy tipping component of the Herald-Sun.
