Game Day GameDay - Showdown 47

[fabs33]

I have a coat. I hope it doesn’t rain too much. But going to be game but it will be boring for me.

Go crows?

I think he meant "I have a cold. I hope it doesn’t rain too much. But going to the game. Make it worthwhile for me, crows!!!"

Deciphering deaneus fun posts has given me a bit of practice.

Yeah. Yours makes more sense.

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

One of the (many) reason's they lost to WBs. Port have improvement to make same as all clubs. Marking a loss down to "mentally weak" is dumbing it down. How about giving credit to WB's. "Port mentally weak" "Geelong off a bye" is media spiel, that's all.

At the risk of being called “politically correct” - also known as “correct” - why do we call it game day?

Football is the game. The Crows playing football against Port is a match.

So it should be match day

As you were

Are they playing a game of football today or a match of football?

 

[crows dude]

Game should be dry. Rain coming at 6:30-7:00

I disagree, Geelong are 0-9 off byes under Scott. For whatever reason Scott doesn't get it right at all.

There is media spiel, and there are clubs who have genuine problems with things. That is an example of the latter. It also does lessen the meaning of that game, but really it didn't have much to begin with.

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

JJ will be giving Kern nightmares - surely he didn't see this coming like the rest of the world.

Goob.

 

[feenix67]

What stupid flog decided it would be a good idea to play this game at 4pm on a Saturday arvo, and schedule the WA Derby the same day in the night time slot?

One of the few games involving two non Victorian teams that EVERYONE likes to watch, and they schedule it in a dead time slot. Are they really that stupid?

Crows by 3 goals.

 

[Damp Squarie]

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

Rucci...what a spud.
I hope JJ does it again.

 

[feenix67]

Get Revved Up!!

(audio only this week)

 

[Deaneus!]

Are they really that stupid?

Evidence suggests yes.

 

[beartoo]

If we turn up, we win by 40 points. Pear will throw everything at us in the first ten minutes and then descend into mediocrity. Soak up that early pressure, play to our ability and it will be Murder by the Crows.

 

[GreyCrow]

Surprised Adelaide are @$5.00 for 40+

 

[Bay62]

They’re playing A match of THE game of football

 

[Morning_Fog]

Rucci...what a spud.
I hope JJ does it again.

Bullshit. I hope we kick the first dozen or so goals and then cruise home to a 100 point drubbing.

I don’t want another nail biter type game. That “plays for frees” leg break still gives me nightmares.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Yep. Smash them. No close game. Their season is on its last legs. We are better, we have worked harder and it will show.

 

[John Who]

Which would also mean he wouldn’t be playing for us but you do realise it was a touch of sarcasm, yeah?

I did sense the sarcasm. Did you sense mine?

 

[Damp Squarie]

Bulls**t. I hope we kick the first dozen or so goals and then cruise home to a 100 point drubbing.

I don’t want another nail biter type game. That “plays for frees” leg break still gives me nightmares.

That would be awesome, but if we do win by a big margin Kern will be sacked; do we really want that?

Spoiler

that WOULD be funny though

completely disagree, especially bolded part. Btw, everyone knows Geelong's record off a bye, how could we not with every media source rattling it off, like they will again next year. "Geelong off a bye" is an excuse their supporters (& Crows supporters) use to avoid giving credit to Port. Port's pressure, perceived or not was the reason Geelong's players weren't good enough. Nothing to do with the bye, clubs are too professional for that.

 

[GROTTO]

Any chance todays poll can close at 1.19pm?

 

[Morning_Fog]

That would be awesome, but if we do win by a big margin Kern will be sacked; do we really want that?

He won’t be sacked, especially after Koch said he was coaching at the top of his game.

He will see the season out.

Game or Match Day would be ok either way. Game Day is slightly shorter plus it rolls off the tongue better.

 

[GROTTO]

I dont think Port will sack Ken even if they fail to make the 8 this year. There is way too many better coaching jobs available at the moment than Port. I can see them doing it next year.
