+1. Scrolled down and decided yours was the only one worth reading
Was in the supporters store today and the guy said they have sold Hundreds of Heskey jerseys they are printing pretty much all day.and while i was in there they sold 2
My thoughts. Didn't allow for essential expenses to the elite few.

Might fly up just to go to the tenzo
is this game being televised on sbs?
less than a week to go now. woohoo!
Gatty reporting that Jets officials are predicting a crowd of 15-20k for the Adelaide game.
Hope you active boys have your "Stand up and ****ing sing!" perfected.
I won't be standing up and singing. Will you lot in the far corner please shut up and let us enjoy the noise of the game rather than you hooligans singing songs no one can understand? Cheers.
Here we go again.
Have missed the "sing or **** off v sit down shut up"
Remains me of the old "spy v spy" in mad magazine.
anyone been to today's/yesterdays training sessions? What formations? Who looks to be starting? Observations? Hows Heskey going?
I won't use "how do you watch the game/the goals getting scored if you are facing the crowd and clapping?" line because I miss a shit load of goals because I am often not watching the play at all and looking at other players positioning and movement off the ball and into space etc. Stupid football and its ability to appeal to different sorts of people.
Went along for a bit of a look yesterday but only stuck around for 45 minutes or so.
A few observations:
* There were two groups split up at one stage. One group had the likes of Neville, Ritter, Mitchell, Kanta, Griff, Jobe, Goodwin, Heskey. Other group had Ribero, Virgilli, Tiago, Regan, Gallaway, Jesic, Bridges. Basically looked like starting lineup and reserves.
* The majority of the crosses were on the ground and not many hit the target.
* Heskey looks lean and in good physical shape, but his touch was off a little. Still regaining it and will return once he settles in I am sure.
* Emphasis was on knocking it wide and crossing in from one drill. The other drill was a pass and move possession style drill. It was over the other side of the field and tough to see.
* Kanta was playing in a more advanced role.
* Kanta, Griff and Bridges knocked in a few first class finishes.
* Birighitt made some great reflex saves - saved many more than went past him.
Putting two and two together from what I saw and the split up of the groups, the line up will be something along the line up of:
Biri
Neville
Mitchell
Ritter
Goodwin
Jobe
Kanta
Zad
Taggart
Griff
Heskey
Honestly, I don't think GvE will show too many cards at an open training session. Not much to be read into it but a few things I noticed.

Really? Surprises me..
I think so. Maybe he was with the other group - I can't remember.
I wouldn't be suprised to see 3 at the back and Goodwin pushed further forward.
Like I said - I wouldn't expect GvE to give away too much
good observations.
Taggart has been very good in pre-season, alot of goals. Happy he is starting.
Disappointed Bernardo prob not starting, interested to see how he goes.
just got tickets in GA. numbers 7071 and 7072.
good signs.
Would be nice... 10k members, 7000 GA. Wonder if it works like that or if it's entirely random for GA.
I was about to say the same thing, I've been very impressed with Taggart in pre-season. Ever since the Griff comparison was made I've had a semi for him tbh.
Yeah, unfortunately I think it's kind of random from memory. I tested it then and it came up with 7062.
Sunday October 7

Anyone wish to make contributions to a brown paper bag to be given to these blokes before Sunday???
Adelaide?
I'm not a fan of Kossie.
He brushed me once at a breakers game.
I'd just discovered he had been signed by arsenal once, as a young lad, this was awesome news.
I since discovered his arenal career was something he probably didn't want some pre-pubescent teen asking him about.
Still reckon he's a prat.
Or are you talking about the ref's
