Game Day GameDay - Showdown 47

GameDay

Particularly excited for this. Drove over from Melbourne yesterday, taking the kids to their first Showdown

We should get up, but it's a showdown

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Go team

 

[FR0GGY]

No confident at all unfortunately
Hopefully a surprise this arvo.

Why aren’t you confident?

All week I’ve heard the media talk up Port and the only rationale seems to be this is their on week.

Well we’ve got a lot to play for and it’s a showdown so I don’t see how we won’t be on either.

They aren’t a better side than us and our form has been better. They beat Geelong who were still asleep from the bye.

Our side has been strengthened from last week and we are only Lynch, CEY and Doedee off our best.

We’ve beaten them 6-1 and have their measure.

It’s our home game.

**** Port and **** their undeserved adulation.

Tex and Betts to fire. Smith to turn out be a midfield gun and the Crows to trawl through my posts for my other good ideas. But they don’t have to look to far, drop Douglas and Mackay for good.

Never confident in a showdown.

Never confident in a showdown.

As long as you felt the same way for our recent wins

 

[Smoooothy]

Also. **** Port

That's all

 

[Morning_Fog]

Never confident in a showdown.

Honest question are you confident any week?

Im not overly confident most weeks as I’m not sure what Crows team will turn up. My confidence starts building during warm up and then after the first bounce to see if they are switched on.

Right now, it’s a 50/50 game.

 

[SydCrow]

With the way the game is played now, we'll miss CEY. Mackay will be rag dolled. Jenkins better be fired up.

 

[AmericanCrow]

Good news--game is on television for me

Bad News--some genius at AFL scheduling thought an afternoon Showdown would be just dandy

Damn 2:35 am starts will be the death of me....

Those going better bring home a winner

Douglas to be in the bests.

 

[haydo]

Confident our back 6 will keep them under 10 goals tonight.

 

[chazwazza]

Also feeling pretty uncertain about this game, with Collingwood losing there’s a great opportunity to consolidate a top four finish so it’s feels like the sort of game we’d stuff up.

Port will come out pissed off and with something to prove but I think they’re mentally weak.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Jenkins to kick 5 goals, us by 5 goals

Port's GF today. Forget Geelong-off-a-bye, Port were the better team, nothing mentally weak about that game. If we allow them to play like that, we don't win today.

 

[John Who]

This Showdown is the perfect setting for ‘contender vs pretender’ match. Can’t be stuffed predicting a winning score, but just want to see a win.

We’ve actually been in reasonable form, winning 7 of our last 10, and losing 3 games by an average of only 2 goals to:
- Brisbane away
- the top team from last year (WCE)
- the top team from this year (Cats)

Port’s form is like a roller coaster nightmare for the bookies - beating Cats 2 weeks ago then being trounced by Dogs last week!

Just want to see total team effort, a win and no injuries. Should be a cracker tonight!

 

[John Who]

Douglas to be in the bests.

I’m tempted to do a poll on how we think Dougie would fare today, on the rise or still falling? I hope to see an angry beast mode Dougie today.

Tex Betts and JJ need to come to play or we will be very disappointed

Explain losing to WB the following week. They’re mentally weak.

The midfield need to come to play and that then will give Tex, JJ and Eddie every chance to play a good game.

Midfield win the ball from clearance and stoppage, the forwards can have clean delivery. If we just hack it forward, Tex and JJ will have a stinker.

We saw it last week when we had 20 less inside 50s

Think will be tight today as always. Port have a young team which explains up and down and do stupid selections. They lost bull dogs trying to prove a point to senior players only to have the 'in form' senior key players go missing ... Like wines.

They’ve been rooting the pooch for years when it comes to losing to lower teams, it’s not just their younger players.

Rucci bringing up the JJ ‘poster’ from Showdown 45 in his article in the rag today. Using the excuse to boost Hinkley’s record against Pyke to say it should be 2-5 not 1-6. If only there had been Snickometer sensors
