Emergencies Crows54 (52) Dezmo (17) Crowboi (37)

Coach – Jars458

Captain – Ant
Vice Captain – Kane McGoodwin

Full Forwards

Napsyd(22)(Ian Perrie) – Could do anything this lad, a star in the making just waiting for his opportunity to shine.

David W (6)(Tony Modra) – Glamour is the word for Dave and he should kick plenty of goals if he can keep his mind on the job.

Macca23(23) – say no more, a lot of our hopes rest on this bloke. He can be thrilling but can also go missing for days. Step up son.

Half Forwards

MarksGirl- kbcrowgirl (19) - say no more – Is just a fantastic contributor and a great team player. Only problem will be if she keeps perving on her own arse, wearing number 19 and all.

Leaping Linder (9)(Bruce Lindner) – whilst it is the wrong Linder he certainly fits the leaping category, and this player will give our boys plenty of zest and enthusiasm at half forward and working up the ground. Experience in Melbourne will also add some toughness on the ball.

Goalsfrom50Out (10)(Matty Robran) – will live up to his name and become the king of the torp and more than negating Stewie Dew at the other end. A relative newcomer to the boards but one with significant impact – the coach is hoping this will be transferred onto the field.

Centres

Stiffy (18)(Stiffy) – Flair, aggression and a bit of vanity all come in this package. His sleazy convos with Espoir should be enough to put his opponent off her game. Front on tackling likely to be a forte of his game.

Kane (28)(Kane Johnson) – he will provide grunt aggression and silky skills through the middle. The vice captain is a vital cog in the Crows BigFooty armoury and the coach will be looking for a special contribution here. Will do well if he does what he is told.

Jerome (1)(Greg Anderson) – the nice guy of the side. Jez will provide some good run and aggression at the ball and the man. Beware Port though if his primeval instincts buried very deep within are unearthed. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Half Backs

Leigh (36)(Goodwin) – composure at half back will be required and Leigh certainly has that if his thesis like posts are anything to go by. Clearly a thinking man’s player and of course as his alter ego is a hotel owner he can provide plenty of spiritual advice.

Dyertribe (16) (Kenny McG) – almost made the full forward spot due to this popularity with the ladies. Will be required to direct traffic and possesses Thatcher like leadership qualities. Any lefties in the Port side better watch out for swift retribution.

Go South (15) (J Torney) – thinks of himself as a Doughty but he’s far more important to our team than that. Will go the hard yards and is not afraid of sledging, after many a battle with the most hated player in the comp Eastaugh 36. Courage personified as he is a personal friend of Blues_Girl.

Backs

Blues-Girl (39)(Martin Mattner) – king of the Mattner cheer squad, Blues Girl will be taking all before her. If her skills can’t see her through (unlikely) she can put off the opposition forwards by taking off her top. May need to be used in a “tagging” role if the going gets tough.

Ok Crows (8) (Bassett) – At full back will be an impenetrable wall. The man who knows the Crows positives inside out will repel any Port infidels that dare to try and breach his wall of superiority. Match winner. Watch out for his post kicking dummy spits though.

Lozstar (34) (Ben Hart) – reliable back pocket and will do the job despite copping plenty of abuse from fellow Crows fans. Is both overrated and underrated at the same time.

Rucks

Ruck

Maccas No 1 (35) (The Big Unit) – will crash and bash his way through even the most intimidating opposition and will give our boys first use of the ball.

Noddy (20) (Stenglein) – The tagger of the Crows board, certainly annoys the s hit out of the Power boys and girls with some clean and some not so clean tactical posting. Will be the perfect person to follow their most influential player and annoy them to death. If the game is won or lost at any stage, Noddy will be sent to Pred for some behind the play biffo.

Ant (32) (Roo) – The skipper is the most experienced Crow on BigFooty and yet is still deceptively young. Ant will be our man to intimidate with physicality and destroy with his footy nous and skilful reverse psychology tactics. If Ant plays well, we can’t lose.

Interchange

SaPaul (7) (Nige) – wily veteran, whose best from is behind him but can step up just when you least expect it.

Top Jars (4) (Doc) – back up ruckman. Very solid, brilliant at Crows stoppages, needs to improve his work around the boards.

Djarman (3) - say no more – secret weapon off the bench.

Marvin (26) – scared of being Darren Smith, I did the opposite. Hard and tough and can be relied on in a tight spot., loved by Crows fans and not loathed like Smith.

Emergencies

Not good enough. Back into the draft for you lot.

[DaveW]

Sweet, Modra's number... what did I ever do with my number six Crows jumper?

[napsyd]

Cool! Just call me Sarge then! :cool:

Jars, you may have to rev Stiffy up a bit before the game as he is inclined to hang his head quite a bit.

He certainly performs better when he stands tall and proud. :D

Arghhh! :o

Stinger hmm, has been talked of as a future captain so good choice Jars,

By all accounts that young tear-away going by the name of espoir is supposed to be their gun midfielder,

soooooo if i am the designated tagger i feel i should have first crack at bringing her to heel, :cool:

If by any chance i find espoir is to much for me to handle (heart palpitations already) then i'm sure young Stiffy would jump at the chance to prove himself in the field of battle,

I put my hand up first and I reckon for my confidence in my ability I should get the first crack. After all we are both lining up on the wing.

We'll play hard but fair. I am worried about DaveW. Pred is known for his off the ball biffo. DaveW, have the eyes at the back of your head and if he gives you one. Give him back one and let Stiffy_18 know. I will do a ligatemate shirt front, within 5 meters of the ball of course.:D

He'll be so short of breath trying to catch every lead of mine that he won't have the energy to throw any punches. ;)

Hmm - you must have seen my last game - back in 196x - still, getting Lindsay Heads' number is a plus!!

Actually my life has been full of emergencies lately!! .. cant get on line as much as I would like! - so best place for me atm ;)

Jars, no need to tell me what to do, as I reckon I have a good footy brain to abide by the team rules (unless you have any special instructions (eg. trash-talk Macca19, run-though Pred behind the play, double team Espoir). ;)

Confident we will do the club proud. Bring it on!

[Kane McGoodwin]

Any chance that OKcrows can pick up Zombie? I reckon that would make for interesting sledging between the 2. :eek:

Might even get a Jamo - Cummings style wrestle / puchup if we are lucky.

Stiffy - perhaps I should be in the side - I used to be a RUCKMAN!! :D

- if only you were a selector!:(

I would have thought CHB is a good position if Jars surrounded by the girls to ensure that you got the best out of them. :p

that 'despite copping plenty of abuse' part sounds about right to me :p

[ant]

Jars, probably like everyone else I'm quite surprised to be named captain but I'm incredibly honoured to be leading the team and you can be assured that I won't let you down. And I'll make sure my main focus is on the ball as well as the man on occasions. I'm ready to rumble.

BTW, that was honestly the funniest post I've read in ages, a bit harsh at times but always true.

[Go South]

I still have a #15 guernsey floating around from Fitzy's brief stint.

Will have to dig it out.

Yes cheers mate for that, Goody is one of my favourite players therefore 36 sits well with me. So you've taken this thing really seriously which is good to see and I'll just let you take care of things but don't get too ahead of yourself just remember who the brains of the operation is behind this crazy idea. You do realise as a half back flanker I'll be taking on a roll akin to Edwards or maybe even that Gavin person from that other mob who we all know's going to come a distant second behind Roo in the Brownlow Medal near season's end. I'm quite happy with this as I could play a sweeping role across half-back and deflect any long bombs down the ground from Porthos and the like. I take I'd be lining up against ches_a_legend then? What a mouthful of a username and it's got those _ things too, doesn't anybody realise that you haven't needed to use _ to space words since the 486 DOS days? And I thought I was a computer illiterate. As it happens, CAL, which is easier to type, says she will resort to kneeing opponents in the nether regions. At least I think she is a she but then we will have to see. As a matter of fact, if indeed we stand each other and she starts to play dirty well then I can't be held responsible for any actions I perform in retaliation, can I? Actually what will be interesting is if she decides to jump on my head to take a speccy, she being on the half forward flank and all. I'll reciprocate at times of course. You know I'll also be able to give bluesgirl a hand because I see good old Eago at the forward pocket for the other mob and I'll just say look out there's a crocodile behind you and then poor old Eago as he'll soon be known will have a violent attack of the explosive bowel movement variety and therefore our Rocks of Gibraltar in dyertribe and ok.crows will stand tall all the more. Incidentally how hard is it to abbreviate a username like ok.crows, you can't do it without anybody losing track of whoever it is you're going on about. A thinking man's player hey? And plenty of spiritual advice you reckon?

How did you come to some of those conclusions by the way anyhow Jars coach mate buddy oh pal oh friend?

[DaveW]

Sheesh, Leigh. Ever heard of paragraphs?

[ant]

C'mon, Stiffy, guys, let's focus on the job at hand. Just because the opposition have a, well, some would say (not me), reasonably attractive wingwoman, doesn't mean we can get cosy and sexually suggestive. That's what she wants boys, she wants us to lose sight of the main goal, to focus our energies on her, and then her other team mates can run amok.

Now let's be honest, look closely, she's not beautiful, her face isn't so pretty and she isn't particularly nice. Plus, she's Port Adelaide. Everything we hate.

Now let's go boys, LIFT! Play the ball first, then hit the man hard, shepard, run to the contest, do the team things, help each other out. If we can do these things we'll win this game of footy, because we have far too much natural talent and skill for the opposition.

[Kane McGoodwin]

My concern ant is that Stiffy can't think with both his head & his namesake at the same time. I think you are correct in saying he has taken his eye of the ball (well the one you see with any way!) :o

You are right. She's a Port skank:eek:


Now focus men and women the battle is at hand.

I know. Espoir only has to glance in his direction and I think he becomes dizzy and loses control of his senses. Unfortunately, he may not be the only one.

We have to see her for what she is, a tough, fierce competitor, who will stop at nothing to help Port Adelaide win. And really, just personally, having taken a second glance, I'm not all that impressed by her looks.

[Stiffy_18]

Don't worry boys. Stiffy has woken up a very focused man. I have eyes only for the football and anyone that stands in my way will be dealt with legally. My only focus is to win this showdown and shut that intelectually challenged mob for good. I will not be distracted by _espoir's tactics which we all are aware of.

Bring it on I say.

We're the pride of South Australia
We're the mighty Adelaide Board

More courageous, stronger, faster
And underrated by our foes

Admiration of the nation
Our determination shows

We're the Pride of South Australia
We're the mighty Adelaide Board
