Particularly just Jordan Dawson and what he's gone through this year, but what he continues to deliver time and time again for Adelaide under pressure.

Welcome.

I'm trying to think of a player that's like him because he's, he's not an unusual player necessarily, but I kind of always saw him as a more of an outside halfback flanker because that's what he kind of was at Sydney.

Always a beautiful kick, but he has this ability to be clearly more than just that, but someone that does tend to be at his best in the, in the big moments.

Yep, I agree.

And you think of all those big moments he's had at the Adelaide Oval, kicking goals, clutch goals, and he did it again on Thursday night.

Now, we were talking about Adelaide on Thursday night before the game, just as to where they sat individually.

in the competition.

But after that win against the Cats, I think it's interesting kind of looking at them this year compared to last year where they were the minor premiers.

But they clearly had a much easier draw last year than what they had this year.

But as it stands at the moment, since round eight,

They've only lost to Hawthorne, which was by nine points at Tassie, in a really dour, but closer fair where they nearly pinched it.

That's their only loss since round eight.

And when you look at their losses across the course of the year, they've been to Brisbane, Hawthorne, Geelong, the Bulldogs and Freo.

So you could argue that they're five of the best, probably six teams in the competition when you include Sydney as well.

So maybe their season's not going as badly as we thought, considering Matthew Nix is a coach that's under a bit of pressure.

Yeah, I agree with that.

Before we let you go, I want to talk to you about Brisbane because you were part of the back-to-back premiers at Adelaide back in 97 and 98.

So you know what it's like to try and win a third in a row.

Brisbane kind of on the ropes going into that game against Gold Coast on the weekend.
