I well recall John Beverage saying after a game in Adelaide where Rehn was very impressive that we had a better one

Unfortunately 1997 and injury

Then to Lazar as well so a strength became a weakness and Rehn took us apart

Everitt doing his shoulder cost us the 1997 Premiership.

Some may say Vidovic's knee cost us a flag. Either way, if we had both Everitt and Vidovic, Adelaide were no chance whatsoever. If we had one of them, we would have got it.

100% agree.............Plus Nicky's Dad passing away on the Thursday night.............We are f****** JINXED.

ALSO

because I am not 100% sure I won't mention the players name but didn't his sister commit suicide the week leading up to the 1997 GF?????

Weren’t Adelaide without Modra (Coleman Medal) and Mark Riccutio (All Australian)?!

We were without Spider which was huge, but really Lazar only played 7 games in 97 and was pretty average.

He averaged 3 kicks 4 handball and 7 hit outs and kicked 1 goal. Not much impact with those numbers!

Lazar Vidovic played 80 games in 9 seasons and this notion that he was a gun ruckman is a fallacy imo.

They won because they were without Modra. If Modra hadn't done his knee we would have played the Bulldogs. Remember Jarman moved to full forward because Modra did his knee. It won them the Prelim. when they were gone and then we know what Jarman did in the GF. Jarman would never have gone to full forward if Modra were fit.

Modra/Riccioutto or no Modra/Riccioutto, they completely dominated the ruck in the absence of Everitt & Vidovic and used that to nullify Harvey & Burke. That set up their win.

He was competitive enough though and it allowed Spider to play forward.

It completely messed us up.

It seemed like they changed tactics on Harvey didnt try to tackle just bulldozed him every time he went close to the ball

Wouldn’t aggression be the norm in a grand final?

I think Harves still had 36 possessions?

Comparing the loss of Vidovic to that of Modra and/or Riccutio is laughable.
