It's been a long way back from our 0-3 start, but we've finally evened the ledger at 6-6-1 after a (bizarrely) high-scoring win over the Saints.

Now, with the home stretch of the season approaching and Will Ashcroft's return almost here, we preview the Lions' trip to Adelaide to take on a Port side just as hungry as we are with so much on the line.

Also this week:

-The data that proves this season is closer than any other

-Dom has the scoop on the Country Roads crisis at the Gabba on Friday night

-An update on our mission to have Fitzroy's premierships recognised

And much more!
