Preview Changes & Preview Thread for Showdown 55

[240volt]

I honestly think that with a different coach over the last decade we had the potential to be the #1 team in town membership wise and perhaps even corporate support wise.

Not sure on that , Crows will always have a certain anti Port group.
Like the old SANFL days it was us against the rest and thats sort of rolled over to the AFL.
If we had a different coach that improved us we would definitely have a bigger slice of the cake.
Very much a what if thing that we will never know the answer.

This is not a 50/50 game. We're far less likely to win an away Showdown than a home one.

Yep. The only away Showdown in recent memory that we didn't play terribly in was in 2019 when we smashed them in the silver guernsey. Our only other win was in 2021 when we were a top team and they were a bottom team and we still barely beat them. Every other away Showdown in the last 8 years has been an L.

Didn’t we smash them in 2022?
Around 8 goals ?

Yes. It was the final game for the Combacks and Family Man.

It was also a home Showdown.

Straight from our website - In the mix -
"Burton and Clurey would be ideal replacements for Aliir, while McEntee has become renowned for his forward pressure and finishing in front of goal, making him a suitable swap for Powell-Pepper."

RENOWNED

Look McEntee can finish when he gets some clear air with the ball in a scoring position.

It's just that he never finds himself in that position.

I just can't wait

Under stinkly when was the last time we went into a game as rank underdogs and come out triumphant over the opposition and turned the tables through sheer guts and determination???
The sooner we get rid of Koch and stinkly the better!

I love how everyone is gone and getting on with it and Ken is just there enjoying his own company gesticulating into the void knowing full well the camera is on him.

LOL ... Hey I dont disagree that the Crow is a flog. Just pointing out that our goal celebrations are just as divisive to oppo supporters. As mentioned, at least Butters is universally admired for his skills.

There are numerous other players that tend to get under people's skin ... Cody Weightman for one, bugs the hell out of me.

Until our blokes start air boxing to the Rocky Theme after a goal I think it's safe to say the Crows are a gazillion times more annoying to everybody.

When Chayce Cones of all people did a stupid celebration against North it was really next level cringe.

So stupid if he plays

 

[Doctor Feel]

Rozee got through training is my mail and will play.....

lol smell the fear from old mate from a mile away.

 

[JimmyBC]

Rozee shouldn't be anywhere near playing in this game jeez I hope we don't see a TWANG!

 

[True__Believer]

Rozee got through training is my mail and will play.....

I can't see him playing, and shouldn't be risked regardless

 

[Rash]

Why are we surprised rozee will play at this point?

 

[Alberton Proud]

Desperate Kenny doing desperate things

Finishing in front of goal?

Checks stats….2g 1b with a grand total of 10 kicks all season….

His last game before being dropped, he didn’t even register a kick (admittedly, he was the sub).

Mead, who started as the sub in the against the Saints, equaled McEntee’s total kicks for the season in a HALF.

I suppose a 30% shot of goal and 66% conversion rate is decent, but he never touches the ball.

I feel a late change coming on.

They will give him every chance to be fit and name him in the 23.

 

[Doctor Feel]

lol they'll be like "if the game was on friday he woulda played hyuk hyuk"

or they'll just play him anyway because they are scared.

Could have been a sciatic nerve issue as opposed to a torn hamstring. They feel pretty similar. In which case, he could recover quite quickly.

If it is a hamstring. We are stupid letting him play at this stage of the season
