Having qualified all five of the club's teams for this year's Central West Rugby Union finals - the first, second, third and colts Blowes Cup outfits and the women's Ferguson Cup side - Reid's dream is a possibility.

"You've got to dream big," he said.

But Reid knows firsthand that qualifying a team for finals - and even reaching a grand final - and winning a premiership are very different things.

Last season in Reid's first year as president, Bulldogs qualified all grades for finals but only second grade and the women's team were crowned champions.

Prior to that, when Reid wore the yellow and blue each Saturday, he had a bitter grand final day experience as well. It came on Bulldogs' home turf 17 years ago - an afternoon that still sticks with him.

"I actually played the year - 2002 was the last time we hosted a grand final at Walmer Park - we had all four grades in and lost all four grades that day," he said.

"That was the hardest pill to swallow ever. It was a long time ago and I'm still scarred by it.

"Those things do stick with you, if you could go back in time and change some of those moments where you didn't quite deliver what you wanted, that would be one.

"It's still raw."

Bulldogs can take a step towards Reid's dream for 2019 when hosting the major semi-finals this Saturday at Ashwood Park.

The women have earned a week off after beating West Wyalong in their qualifying final, but Bulldogs' first, second and third grade plus colts outfits will be in action in major semi-finals.
