why not! Let's go undefeated for the next ten years

I can’t believe no one’s thought of this before.

True, but we could win flags without winning showdowns.

We haven’t, but we could.



Please

Remember when we used to dominate Showdowns but couldn't win a flag?

I remember being at a Crows' home Showdown in those times and an older female Crows supporter, resplendent in her blue rinse hairdo, almost in tears and declaring loudly that all the Ports' players cheated.

I'm gonna be a finger twirling pita of the highest order myself when Motlop gets on a roll

Has there been a more loveable yet frustrating - frustable? - family in the history of the game

We've got the best one now & even he's not quite the raw, mercurial albeit wasted talent of Daniel... frustable

wrt showdowns. i've already declared we will win all three this year, not counting the jlt one.

am assuming we will meet them in the finals

I feel like he's the logical megazord of Shannon, Daniel and Marlon. Has the best traits of all three and is the prettiest too ----<----@ (that's the MSN rose I'd give him from back in me swoonin' days)

our showdown performances since the passing of Phil Walsh (may he rest in peace) have been horrific. We have been far too nice and un Port like.

 

[Marmozet]

In the Pyke-Hinkley era, they've smashed us in their home Showdowns, but it's been a lot closer in our home games. That shows how much influence crowds can really have.

I keep thinking we can finally beat them but they obviously match-up very well against us. One can only hope that our additions of Rockliff, Motlop and Watts, their losses of Lever, Cameron and Smith and our home crowd can prove to be the difference in Round 8.

Hinkley is definitely going to have his work cut out for him in future Showdowns since Pyke probably won't be going anywhere else too soon.

You could say the same for West Coast at the Oval (0-4 lol), Carlton in Melbourne (0-2 wtf), Melbourne anywhere but Alice Springs and our biggest loss in 3 years (at the time) came at the Gabba to a barely-QAFL standard Lions.

The lack of scrutiny and blind hope rolls on.

I was just thinking about how conflicted i am going to feel about Motlop's finger twirling now. I have wanted to shove that twirling finger so far up his arse but now ...

Meh, if I can grow to love Damien Hardwick after absolutely despising him in his Essendon guise, a little finger twirling shouldn't be a problem.

If only we knew in hindsight that Hinkley was going to be their next coaches bitch then we (hopefully) wouldn't have let them beat us in that tribute Showdown in 2015.

No doubt, but there were no asterisks for allowing Bryce Gibbs to swagger about for 160 minutes across both fixtures like he owned the place, KO'ing Gray and bullying Neade, etc.

Like I love Tom Jonas and his return to form in 2017 was a massive relief, but if he's going to cop weeks for bluescreening anyone's brain or clotheslining them off the ball there's far worthier candidates than Dialtone Gaff and Boogieboard Dahlhaus.

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Oh jeezus it would be a joy to see Bryce absolutely ironed out in a Showdown.. legally of course

Sometimes the answer is right in front of your face

 

[Schulzenfest]

I’m not sure there’s any one thing other than a flag that I’d enjoy this year more than Steven Motlop smugly fingertwirling his way down the wing after a goal in an away Showdown. Think the reverse of Ratkins cupping his ear to the Power fans like he’s Hulk ****ing Hogan.

Yeah but remember that time when Chad Cornes did the thing while best on ground even though the umpires gave the three votes to (((highlight to reveal))):

Brett Ebert lol

 

[Power Girl]

Oh yes we are all going to love the finger twirling now ... but the way Geelong have owned us it’s almost more offensive when they are smaller celebrations as we are not worthy of the big stuff. But it gets worse as tribey pointed out we need to be wary of Carlton FFS

Are you sure?

I tips me hat.

Lol, now that you don't have a record to protect you're just throwing out posts willy nilly!

Cherry on top.
