Previously known as LITD.

Sadly for me I remember 2000 all too vividly. The build up to it was great. Sw won the Brownlow and everything looked rosey. The game was frenetic and we lasted about 15 mins before being blown away. We came up against the most incredible bombers team ever. The only positive was I couldnt get tickets. I want a flag so bad. In fact I want FIVE just to make up for the misery.

How tough and gutsy to return so quick after that knock. A true leader in the club.

Thanks for reminding me. We have done well there but not so much prior to 2017. This team is playing better than that one so while Im confident I still thinks it a tough game. One its Adelaide not Tasmania ...big crowd. Two..we are being hunted now especially by lower clubs that desperately need a scalp. I hate crows crowds.

Thats what I thought too. (Weid...given bbb was bought in before him) I reckon it will be Weid which makes me wonder why Goody was so sure of his future.

My reasoning was the dogs is a massive game. If he has trouble with it in the dogs game in might not be so black and white. He may play the game without subbing out only at half his usual standard. As for fitness you are correct in that Jvs fitness is unique but I dont think any players is that high they can slot back in to the highest standard after a fair absence least not the dogs game. Anyway having said my two cents I do hope hes good to go even against the crows. The club will make the right call. We have missed him.

He seem very confident but who comes out for Jackson in a couple of weeks?

13 Zero has a nice ring to it. Thats a huge crowd.

Common sense dictates that your response is correct. Thinking of the big picture. As good as he is, hes also been out for a while and back into the highest level would not be wise.

Yep its always hard work playing over there despite respective form. The supporters are absolutely full on and umpires are often swayed. It will be a tough game, no doubt about it but we are up to it and will get the job done. I hope Jack is back in.

Three months ago I was guilty of speculating how many losses it would take before the media started calling for his scalp. Personally I think I qanted someone more like Ports coach. A bit of fire in the belly who would go out and blast a few players. Goody is clearly very diffferent and his learnings wasnt just media speak. He obviously has been building wisdom and skills. He has placed a good group of other coaches and staff around him and its falling into place.

Thanks 3031. Top post. Absolutely this regarding Langdon. So many times he has broken away into space and been that vital link out of our defence. Probably covers more territory than anyone except maybe Oliver. And EL is always so clean with marking and effective in finding targets. He has been a huge part of our success thus far.

Yea looked unorganised at times. Theres a lot of firepower in that line up and when it clicks will be devastating. Exciting stuff.im loving Frittas work as much as Toms. I feel so bad being so critical of Tmac given that we would have dropped a few games without him. He looks as good as hes ever been. Just dont know how it will pan out when Jacksons ready.

I appreciate Oliver getting a lot of love this week as he was a prime mover in yesterdays win and many others Tmac , Trac Gawn and May and Salem have been major contributors and rightly praised. And Kozzie is the new glamour player. But Ed Langdon has not missed a beat and been a major player in every single game this year. He does so much. I know hes appreciated here but I dont think the media has picked up how vital he has been to our nine wins in a row.

Crumbed one yesterday. Yea he needs to fix his shots on goal but so do Trac and Gawn. Maybe they wont ever be sharp shooters .. doesnt matter. They keep winning games for us. The biggest take on Oliver for me this year is his fitness. He finishes like he could play another game.

Sleep out at the G.

Yea so this is what footys like to so many.

Your a better person than me.

Well its Nine Zip. Hard fo fathom as well as the fact that last time we were this good we won....do I dare say it...f.... I cant finish it. Its beyond comprehension. As annoying as Bt was commentating , he was interviewing Dees supporters about their fears and new confidence. It was great to see some older supporters talk about the wait. Ive never seen Dland so happy. Sure theres the usual backhanded comment or doubting of someones footy iq or rediculous changes but on the whole at nine zero we are a happy bunch. So many likes and loves you can tell we are on an upward path. Long may it continue. Ill say it...a flag? Take that Bt.

Not above doing the team thing. Great stuff.

I thought Harmes was better against the Swans than last night but I think he adds a level of hardness in the middle and is playing well. Sam wasnt great but its hard as the fwd structure is trying to work itself out. There were too many trying to mark at times. I dont know if Ill get howled down but could we try Spargo in the middle at times until Jack is back? Hes no Harmes but in terms of ball winning hes like a Libba and his disposal is very clean. And hes not lazy with tackling or chasing.

Yep, so many called for Pettys head after one game. I think Petty was very good so lets give Chandler a chance as well.

Im worried about this game.

I dont even know what this means. I think I need to cut back my drinking. I drank less when we lost for some strange reason. Perhaps it was more familiar territory. And now Im quoting myself. Good Lord. Apologies to all. All this winning is turning everything upside down. Im so confused. Whats happening?

Jolly good effort from that little man.....cant remember his number but I think they call him Spar go. Hes a goer alright, I say what. Yes a jolly good one at that. Be a good lad and pass the cheese platter.

I cant remember when footy was this good. Im sure it was once but this seems the ants pants
