Anyone going for Port?

[jo172]

Apparently because I'm not a true Adelaide supporter. Haven't you read the thread?

In all seriousness, I'm in on the rivalry as heavily as anyone, but we're effectively in off-season, and, after the amount of times our club has been screwed over by the Victorian administration and ignored or belittled by the dominant Victorian media, I'd like to see the Non-Victorian winning streak continue for as long as possible - even if Port are the team to do it. I'm very much hoping Port will "poach" another flag from "footys real home".

I completely agree.

Did you guys see the thing on the main board about the AFL fining Port $200k if they don't send their players to the Brownlow. ****ing outrageous if it goes through.

We really need to remember there is a shitload more that unites us then divides us. The administrations and playing groups are on quite good terms, 1990 was along time ago now. The only reason the rivalry for mine is so hyped up is that it's the best way for Graham Cornes to get people to listen to 5AA and for Michaelangelo Rucci to get people to read the Tiser.

I couldnt care less about the non-Victorian winning streak.

If its not a Crows premiership year, then as long as Port dont win it either (or those damm WCEvils lately) then the Vic clubs can raffle it amongst themselves for all I care.

I know you make your own luck but damm if they havent had an armchair ride into the GF. played all the bottom sides twice to get top4, had no impact injuries at all playing against better sides that were injury riddled at the times, and then beat up some of the worst finals teams in recent years. couple that with the whole bandwagon support they get (where are those 43,000 supporters any other week except when they are in a final) and I dont think they deserve to win it.

Cats in a canter if theres any justice.

Oh cmon, Geelong get treated just as shit as some of the interstate teams. Geelong aren't even a melbourne team, they get paid out and so forth.

I hate this SA vs Vic crap. Geelong deserve the flag, they are the better team and there supporters deserve it. Therefore CARN GEELONG

I would rather kill my first born than go for that bunch of ferals
No true AFC person could lower themselves to go for the dirty ferals down the road.


Go the cats

Oh boo hoo paid out.
They're not a Melbourne team, but the Victorian media has well and truly adopted them as the great white Vic hope to take "back" the flag.
And if you think they get treated anywhere near as badly as us, take a look at all their father-son picks.
They don't have the AFL on a leash ala Collingwood, and they might not play all their home games incl. finals at Skilled, but they're still treated a ****load better than we are by our impartial administrators.

 

[Crow Envy]

I am really surprised anyone would support Port because they are South Australian. Big Bloody Deal. They are our arch enemy, their supporters are arrogant ferals, their coach and captain are w***ers and we are competing in the same market for $$ and supporters, why would we want them to be successful?

As was mentioned earlier they have had every ounce of luck to get where they are. Wouldnt it have been nice to have played a crippled WC or the Kangaroos in 05&06?

Basically we blew it, if Port do win it we have no one to blame but ourselves and Neil Craig. They should have been playing us. Once we lost to Hawthorn we gave them a free ride to the GF. Thanks Neil.

Geelong were better than port in 2004 & are 10 times that in '07. I will be barracking for the CATS!

Most of the posts in this thread are crap.
First of all this post above, we smashed Geelong in the first final at home.
Brisbane then beat Geelong at the MCG in the Prelim and we then went onto pants Brisbane by 7 goal in the GF. We had injuries throughout the year with one game having a list of 27 players to pick from and were able 12 out of the last 13 games to win the flag convincingly.
Secondly, you say Geelong are 10 times better than us when we lost only 3 more games for the whole year and beat them on the eve of the finals.
On other posts, the whole theory of the Kangaroos is crap and it was an easy path is about as credible as your dream prelim final.
The Kangaroos smashed the same Hawthorn team that eliminated you from the finals a week prior.
If you go on the basis that West Coast were injury depleted, what excuses has your team got when you have lost two prelims to them last year and year before, quite funny seeing all these unused flights when I flew from Adel to Melb for last years GF.
Several of you clowns also bring up these biased statistics eg, Kangaroos got beaten by 106 points against Geelong and only 87 points by Port. It is so deperate, it is like saying Geelong only beat the Pies by 5 points, the Crows beat the Pies by 20 odd points, we beat Collingwood by 20 odd points so we are nearly 10 goal better than Geelong. When in all reality we beat Geelong 4 weeks ago by 5 points on their home turf!
Looking at some of the desperation on these boards lately from Crows fans, eg PC's thread that Port are in a 6 year era and not rebuilding at all is just showing how speechless you Camry's are at the moment.

Myself, I'll be barracking for a PORT Adelaide WIN!

no body cares mate. If you wana support port power good for u.

 

[out of order]

oh and anyone who is still on the SA V Vic thing must be 70+ yrs old in all probability. This is club football, a good proportion of our list are vics.

 

[macca23]

I won't be barracking for either side nor will I be barracking against either side.

I just hope that its one hell of a good quality close game and may the best team on the day win.

Personally, I think Port have had an amazing journey this year, win or lose. Amazing.

Good luck to them if they win it. You don't win GF's unless you deserve to.

Except for the fact that someone asked me why I'm choosing to support Port nine posts above your own. Good game, Triple O.

Well done macca23, for actually bringing common sense to this thread.

Everyone who has watched any footy this year knows Geelong have been the best team, and Port has had a good run. But what do some of you guys suggest? Wait for Cousins and Judd to get better so we can play WC at their best, or ask the AFL to only play Carlton and Richmond once?

Its a club competition nowadays, you support your team and thats it. You must either have some inferiority issues or work with some real port w***ers (every team has them) if your barracking against us this week.

 

[crowman_23]

I would rather stick pins in my eyes than watch Port win another flag.

Go Cats!

Speaking for a few thousand Crows fans eh???
99.9% of Port fans would go for who ever the Crows were playing if the Crows made the GF. Thats just how it is. Just accept it.
And, why are you here????

99.9% How did you work that out??
In '97 and '98 I just watched and didnt cheer against you. Now you name 999 port supporters who cheered for north melbourne and I'll stand corrected.

I'm here bc I was interested in what ppl thought of Hudsons decision and noticed this thread.

10 yrs ago is a lot different to today! The rivallry is way more extreme. Port and Crows fans have really learnt how to dislike each other.
If the Crows were playing the Kangaroos this weekend, sweet F all Power suppoerters would have been supporting the Crows.

 

[bigman100kg]

I wouldn't support the Crows either, but like macca23 said I wouldnt barrack against them. Id just watch the game.

 

[DirrtyBee]

I wouldn't ever want Port to win in general.
But then again it wouldn't matter what team was playing Geelong, I would want Geelong to win by a mile I would be heart broken if they lost after the year they've had.

I’m sorry but anyone who is actually supporting Port has no idea. This is a club football, not state football!!! Even those who “don’t care about the result” are insane. I don’t care how much criticism I cop, if you’re a Crows supporter you should NEVER want Port to win, not even a H&A game let alone a Grand Final.

I am sick of hearing about how we need Port to win to keep the flag away from Victoria for another year. I couldn’t give a stuff about keeping the flag out of Vic; I just want to see Port get hammered. We’ve won 2 flags and with a victory to Port on Saturday they’ll match us.

But here are Crows fans actually WANTING Port, our arch rivals, to win the PREMIERSHIP. I'm not sure how that can possibly sit well with any fans of the Adelaide Football Club. There are actually fans of the AFC who are supporting the club that Michelangelo Rucci, the tool who writes articles every day paying out the club and slandering us whenever he can, supports. If you want to see Tredrea holding the Premiership cup at 4:30 on Saturday then I’m sorry, but you have no idea.

and nine posts before that u posted:

Well I'll be going for Port.
Feel free to post how you think I'm not a true AFC supporter, *********

ie i am special look at me etc

Couldn't have said it better myself. I hope it's the most one sided Grand Final in a very long time!

 

[mymansyd]

If Port wins I'll respect their efforts to the hilt, but I'll be barracking mad for the Cats.

I've been a Norwood supporter all my life, and, let's just say I am not to fond of that Alberton mob.

Incidentally, it would be an amazing result for Tom Harley who may well hold the premiership cup aloft as Cats' captain after being traded by Port Power after just 1 match with 'em.
