It's time to start the love and appreciate how resilient this team is,  there's been many times I thought the club was going to fall apart this season,  the gawn injury could have stopped our season before it began,   and then when Spencer went down it almost felt like another straw on a camel's back,  but that was a blessing in disguise Pedersen didn't win many hitouts but he might have been the form ruckman of the year with his possessions around the ground,  we have had just as many injuries to key players as Collingwood has, Fremantle has not been able to win a game without Sandilands,  West Coast are unable to put a decent score without Kennedy in their side,  everytime this side gets knocked to the ground it gets straight back up,  the sign of a good side is not how well they succeed but how well they bounce back when they get knocked to the ground,  it's time to stop the negativity on this thread and start the love, for this most resilient Football Club in the AFL, and who would have thought it's the Demons.

Well said, and we've got some pretty resilient supporters too!

Lots of resolve. Not to mention the times we've been tested in games and held on 

We also have a crop of youngsters who have demonstrated their individual resilience through challenging personal setbacks; Hogan, Trac, Brayshaw, Salem. It may be of some extra benefit in the long-run. 

The old adage: a champion team will always beat a team of champions.

In recent history Geelong and Hawthorn lost their A grade star and just shrugged. Adelaide may well do the same this year.
