Thompson 34 touches, Danger 32, Crouch 28 and all 3 kicked a goal. That's where a lot of the damage was done along with Sauce. But yeah Betts was huge. Thought Impey might contain him.

Sitting in 2nd spot after Round 15, hard to see us actually falling out of the 8.
With Trengove's replacement, I'd personally either go with Cam O'Shea or Tom Clurey, or if Carlile doesn't pull up either we can bring in both of them.

Will be a lot of battles in the future I reckon Betts v Impey. He did very well for a first year on one of the best and most experienced small forwards in the comp... Will be very good viewing for many years
I agree, but surely you learnt tonight that nothing is guaranteed till it happens.
In the first Showdown you guys moved Jonas onto Betts as Impey got tired. Was waiting for that move tonight. Even with Trengove being injured it would have been worth a gamble doing this at the end as our talls were not dominating due to the wet and moving Jonas from one of these guys to Betts before Betts sealed the game could have been a match winner.
Am glad Hinkley didn't consider this option though.

Only game this year where I was truly excited watching a footy game, it's been a while since I've fist pumped a goal on the telly but today was the day, between 2 teams I couldn't care less about in the grand scheme of things, awesome game, Port are a good team and will bounce back. Eddie Betts take a bow, awesome game and some clutch goals.

Kane Mitchell would win Adelaide's BnF

He is an average state league player. Nothing more, nothing less.
Could you see a Kane Mitchell getting a game at Sydney or Hawthorn?
I still want to cry when I think about how Mitchell tore us a new one when we played them this year. Should only be selected if he's going to be used as the sub where he actually can make a decent impact.

When the weather turned to crap and the game became a hard slog, the Crows made Port Power look like a rabble of school girls. Soft and gutless tonight. Out in straight sets.

In finals, it's not your top 6 players that win you games.
It's your bottom 6.
If you compare Hawthorn, Fremantle, Sydney & Port, Port's bottom 6 will be found out.

Thanks for confirming that you have no idea about football
The real winner is Adelaide Oval! Its just made football in SA soooo much better.
The atmosphere no matter a crows or power home game is just out of this world!
The Roar when Eddie kicked that goal and when the siren went was sensational!

Umps had nothing to do with it, Port's form has been patchy for the last few weeks and aside from the Sydney game they've have had soft opponents (Melb, St Kilda and Bulldogs) that have flattered Port. Today was probably the reality check that Port needed to get back on track form wise.

Can someone tell me who Kane Mitchell is? was he up there with Dangerfield in the votes for the Brownlow the last few years? or maybe he got as many votes as Thommo did?.....no?

The issue for Port is their list and best 22 has a very young demographic.
A big component of their game is their ability to outrun their opponents.
When you've been up all season, unless you rotate your list like Geelong did in 2011, it is very hard to be flying on all cylinders come September.

Wha?????
Anyway, ignoring the above contradiction and ignoring the umpires, the Crows simply outplayed us today.
But we'll move on and improve as we have with every loss we've had in the last two seasons.....

Don't worry, we'll beat you in 2 weeks and you'll hate us again
Feels wrong doesn't it?

What are people reading into this? Port are a great side, the Crows are an inconsistent side capable of playing very good football , and Showdowns are invariably close regardless of ladder position. Why not just appreciate it for being a great game instead of making asinine proclamations about form, danger in September, etc?
