If it's any consolation it is only 80 days until the JLT and even less days until the revamped AFLX spectacular.

[DubDee 25,885]

long wait but at least the line-up will come out in 98 days!

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,833]

83 till Rd 1

81 till selection 

63 till JLT

I just watched Mitch Hannan's GOTY, and then re-watched it another eight times.  That used up three or four minutes!  ?

ps. the goal still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end, and the elation in the crowd still brings a tear to my eye.

Reason: That’s because Harmes and Jones are in the middle of the huddle showing off their tats to Garlett! ?

One of the more annoying losses last season was to Port at Adelaide Oval.  We had them on the ropes and fell asleep.   Crushing them in Round 1, 2019 would be very sweet.

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

Too early to start predicting crowd figures for Round 1? 40,000 plus would be a nice start.

under 300 days until our first premiership in 55 years

Last year, due to our Rd 23 capitulation and the ensuing dejection, I mostly lost interest until trade week and even then my hunger for footy was pretty subdued.  This year, I was over the West Coast game before it was over, because we had already well and truly met and then somewhat surpassed my expectations for the season, so the antisipation of what we could do next season is like an adrenaline rush that is stopping me from getting to sleep, but there is still soo many sleeps until Rd 1 and it's taking forEVER!!

Past the half way mark.

Can almost count the number of weekends till our season kicks off on one hand.

Maddening amount of time. The sense of release on the morning of 23 March is going to be fantastic. Great little counter (page).

Lol, as I scrolled down further on this page, I realized that @Demonland has already setup a counter on this site for our Rd 1 game, but also our first JLT game in 20 days time!

Can't wait.

With so many 'outs' (at this point of time) from the Port Adel side, it may well prove to be a cake-walk for us in Round 1. That is also particularly exciting as we were knocked off last year - and once again, an outcome of the snot umpires across the game that we dominated. Still, I expect the boys to go 'hell for leather' in this match with a carefully selected power team - setting a benchmark of what is to come across the 2019 season. Boy, we look good on paper, despite a few niggling pre-season injuries to some of our experienced players; the new-found depth is going to be critical - as well as being a competition nightmare to confront. As for the JLT, it will be great to see our recruits in action, weaving into the game style that Goody perpetrates and personally, I hope that it continues the collective run and assault that sets us apart. Ahhh ... the footy is only moments away ... Carna Dees!
