BigFooty Showdown

[Stiffy_18]

Its that time of the year again. It would appear that the Crows will play Port in a "Trial Showdown" at Kadina in a couple of weeks. Since there was a talk of continuing on with last years Showdown between the boards, I thought I would start a thread to see what our coach (Jars458), captain (ant) and vice-captain (Kane McGoodwin) think about geting some match fitness before the real stuff starts.

Are we going to do this thing or not??????

Here is a link to what was a heart breaking loss

How well I remember it!! That good old expression and excuse "we were robbed" springs to mind straight away.

Off memory, I got a couple of goals up forward in that match, but I think I'm needed in the middle this year to offset the brilliance of Macca19 who got BOG in that game.

Put me in the middle please coach, and let him chase my tail this year!!!

Didn't you cop a 2 match suspension as well??????

I have been working my backside off during pre-season and I am putting my hand up to play centre. I got a V8 engine now

Nooooo!! That wasn't me!! I did suffer severe concussion from a quarter time pat on the bum from _espoir though - remember???

I'm not sure you can go with Macca19 Stiffy, but okay - I'll put my hand up for first rover changing up forward then. I got a bit starved of action last year!!

 

[Stiffy_18]

My bad, you got concussed when espoir cleaned you up. It was napsyd that copped a 2 week suspension for charging.

I think Pred got into his head.

Yeah I remember.

The positioning will be up to our coach. I am sure he has got the white board going as we speak. He will have us primed for this.

I am playing this year. The only thing that worries me is Macca and his obsession with offering to chop everybody else's thingamagigs.

I am fairly sure that when everybody put their names down I had puter problems and missed out. But it sure made a good read.

I think I'll have to remove myself from the pivot after getting towelled up in the last game!

You had one bad game. Thats not the negative attitude we want from our VC.

Fire up mate. We will cream them

 

[ant]

I'm all for some fitness work and some match practice before the Showdown re-match with the mob from further down the page.

I expect the narrow loss last year has burned in the guts of everyone associated with the Club and we should all be doing our utmost to reverse the result.

Personally, as captain, I've tried to set a good example and I'm well and truly into my pre-season training. And I'm pretty sure Jars is doing his bit by downing copious amounts of the amber fluid...what a coach, there's nothing he wouldn't do for the cause.

 

[beckybiglands]

I missed last years too, i was sidelined through injury... Seen Dr. Liptak a couple weeks back and he gave me the all clear!

 

[Fergus]

I'm a new recruit but Showdowns are what it's all about. I'll put my hand up for selection.

I trust that my suspension has been served and the selectors value my physical imposition on the contest.

 

[Leaping Lindner]

This year we need to nullify Macca19's influence. Which one of you fit youngsters wants to put their hand up for the tagging role?

 

[Jars458]

Our preparations begin in earnest now.

The first rule is there is to be no socialations with teh opposite sex, especially espoir as I feel this really took our focus off the game

Yes, this means YOU Stiffy

Please put in your prefernces for positions and a short spiel as to why you should be good for the team.

On a personal note I appreciate the faith shown in me after last years loss, however I will put my balls on the line and state that if we lose this year I will retire from Fantasy Footy Coaching

Ant and Kane - team meating ASAP at nearest Coopers Ale House

I'm happy to do my bit with Coopers Ale training & strategising.

 

[Jars458]

These people are unavilable due to injuries and suspensions from the last game

INJURIES and SUSPENSIONS
Port Adelaide:
Scott - 2 weeks - suspension (unduly rough play)
Tredders#16 - 1 week - suspension (striking)

Adelaide:
Macca23 - 1 week - injury (concussion)
Napysd - 2 weeks - suspension (charging)

 

[AngelEyes]

That narrow loss hurt the squad for the rest of the season! Hopefully we can improve with a West Coast like Thrashing of the Port tribe!

I missed out last year...damm SANFL practise matches. I'll put my hand up if anyone backs out of this years though! I dont think anyone will, but may as well try! Plus I have no attraction to _espoir so I'm sure I'll keep focussed on the match!

Position style played: defensive, midfield

 

[Dogwatcher]

need a forward pocket? i supply my own bungee cord too!

I thought I would have served my time by now.

Oh well, I'll have to watch from the sidelines then!
