Game Day Home Showdown Rd9 2025

[Grave Danger]

If flakey Freo can beat them surely we can, right?

Shush Charlie you’ll have a sook as soon as you cop the smallest amount of criticism

It's a Showdown, they take more pride in big games than we do.

We will embarrass the Magpies jumper again, it wouldn't surprise me if Hinkley has one at home to wipe his fat arse on.

I like your optimism but I stopped thinking that way after the disgusting showing in the Russell Ebert tribute match.

This jumper means shit to these players and even less to an exiting coach that helped ruin the Magpies.

Lol yeah, I was 100% taking the piss out of it.

Which is pretty sad on my part, but that’s where I’m at with this club.

 

[Greasyrhys]

Bring on the pain…

 

[JimmyBC]

What the hell is Charlie smoking up there in the hills? We all unite against Victorians? lol

 

[Us against the rest]

We're going to get schooled by a side that took the wooden spoon 4.5 years ago while Port finished top.

Watch the difference today, how they have method about their footy, how they extract the ground ball from under our noses, how they mark the footy with much more ease than us and the structure going into their forward line.

Crows by 34 points.

 

[Jonts]

I miss when the GameDay tag was red

Not only kens last home showdown but I think his last one period. There will be nowhere ken can hide after tonite. Crows by 60 and Josh to lead us in the next showdown in round 20 which will be a much closer affair than tonites embarrassment

 

[backtozero]

Get Dom out to draw a line in the sand.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I reckon we'll get done by 15 goals

Don’t get my hopes up!!!

These Showdowns have become a funny thing. After LVI of them plus countless pre-season and trial games, they've sort of become pedestrian.

Winning them is more a relief than anything and if we lose I tune footy out for a few days including the crows supporters at work who have been shitting on their team for 7 years telling me how great they are.

Can't say I'm feeling dread or anticipation. Of course I'm hoping the Port that played Hawthorn or good parts of most other games, excluding Collingwood and Bulldogs, turns up for four quarters.

I do expect a bounce back from last week and want to at least see a desperate tackling/pressure effort and some cohesive team play with dash and dare.

Will we win? Who knows. It's less than more likely but it's certainly possible.

Be nice to be fairly umpired this week.

A good indicator of what Showdowns have become is my wife and I. She’s Crows, I’m Port. When we met 6 years ago we cared, but this week it’s barely rated a mention between us.

Classic mobile ticketing bullshit. Log in to give my tickets to someone and the system is throwing up an access error. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app but same issue each time.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Same. It's not even been mentioned in my house, and we used to try and avoid watching them together so a football rivalry wouldn't create chaos.

But she's a more casual supporter and while I used to be a never miss a game type, now I don't really care.

 

[Shane_Mag]

When watching your team becomes a chore more then something to look forward to then you know things are bad.

 

[Duck Farmer]

I legit forgot we're wearing the bars tonight.

I must be a bee's dick away from being fully checked out.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Have we ****ing died yet

 

[Papa G]

For those silly enough to go, can you please start a Hinkley Out chant in the last quarter when we are getting thumped?

 

[bomberclifford]

Do it if we’re winning. Will have more impact.

 

[edgie]

Just noticed our odds have gone from 2.35 earlier in the week to 2.75 after selection. By bounce we'll be firmly in the 'rank outsider' box, which perversely may actually help.

1.50 - 2.50 odds seems to be Port's Achilles heel

Six free donuts

 

[Portology]

Well I’ve made the trek over from Sydney for this one. Glutton for punishment

 

[Willsy10]

Standard port board wankathon about how good the crows are.
