Hope so

Anything less than 15, and I'd want my money back.

Could be 26, as in 2005.

I'd like to think the whole season.

We've got the best medical team in the business. Nathan Gibbs is a miracle worker.

Spida will be well looked after.

FYI: Previous numbers are:

13 18 18 19 23 24 17 15 21 12 14 22 22 14

A physio who used to work with an AFL team reckons that with Spida the body is not the problem - he's good for his two seasons - and nobody knows better than Roos how to get the most out of an aging body; look what he did with his own.
The real issue is the focus and co-operation with the team.
After talking with him (the physio) I'm inclined to agree, but I reckon we have two big advantages Spida's other clubs didn't have: Roos' man management skills, and the team ethos that seems to have such a big influence at the Swans. Time will tell, but I'm now happy we have Spida and looking forward to see what the season brings.

It'll be 30.

22 H&A, QF, SF, PF, GF, GFR, GFR2, GFR3, GFR4. By stretching it into a fourth replay it'll just make it even sweeter to rub those pretentious west @@@@ faces in it when we win.

You misspelt 'faeces'.

Plus the fact that Everitt himself now realises he's close to the end of his career and this is almost certainly his last chance to play with a serious contender. He can't have played more than a handful of finals games in his career.

Even if age hasn't brought him maturity, it will surely have brought him an element of desperation to contribute as fully as he possibly can?

... let's hope so Liz!

Look at Sanecows figures above, except for 8 games last season he played every game in the previous 2 seasons to that.

Yes, I already do that.

*serious face now*
True. Everitt is a brilliant player but apart from an early patch with St. Kilda has had very little exposure to September. Does he need any other motivation? Surely this factors in as why he wanted to come to Sydney for the 06 season.
