If the hype in Adelaide is anything to go by, we're in for a helluva match

Bring it on

 

[ManInTheArena]

Lets flog these campaigners.

Go CROWS!

 

[rayven]

We do what we can control, they can't beat us. If we compete, as our contested ball numbers under this coach says we do. If we maintain structure (which they don't have an answer to) If we are accountable to our opponents. They'll eventually break down, at some point, no matter how well they play.

They actually have no tactical advantage anywhere on the field, other than endevour or results against two teams Norwood would scare.

It's ours to lose.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Sando has a different Showown approach to Craigy, while Craigy preferred to treat games against Port no different to any other game Sando makes every effort to build it up and wants the players to embrace he occasion

The boys should be raring to go, we ave a more mature game plan, a game built on contested footy, we have stronger bodies across the part and more top end talent

Time to deliver a reality check

 

[Elite Crow]

Let's bloody hope so. But the wait is killing me, hate Sunday twilight showdowns

I'm going to a midday session to see GI Joe to help pass the time

Lucky for some, having that opportunity. But no, not me. Working until 2pm, then it'll have to be straight to the footy. Days like these go so slow.

CARN the Crows! Going to be disappointed if we get done tonight.

 

[Glenno23]

I'm spewing that the Hawks/ Pies match over laps with ours. really wanted to watch the whole thing, wish it was the earlier game

But i'll watch the Dogs/Tigers game up until Pies game starts, then watch that until Crows come on to turn off the Power

 

[Jars458]

Power are not as good as us, simple as that. Time to show it. Crows by 83 points.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Have to focus on pressure on the ball carrier early, it would've been non existent against Dees and GWS. Should win comfortably

And Tex for a goal-haul amount, making sure he's at the top of the coleman?

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Need to make a statement early and squash any chance of Port getting their tails up

 

[PykeDream]

I think we can really frighten Port early on, and put some pressure on their raw half backs in particular.

I'm feeling that Dougy is in for a big game for some reason, also think Schulz and Westhoff will loom large.

Not sure what to expect from Walker, but he has a real opportunity against Port's KPDs. Finger crossed he blows them away

 

[Dirty Bird]

Last time I had a football dream it came true (Ben hart kicking a goal in about 05-06)
Therefore, Port to win 114-112.

Geez, we're playing pretty ordinary football at the moment.

Would be mightily relieved with a win. Any win.

I hope you are wrong.

For the record, there has not been a Showdown where both teams have kicked 100+ points.

I think I'm wrong
I doubt Tredrea will kick 7 first quarter goals

 

[Dirty Bird]

What, red carded despite posting 2 minutes ago? Was this Dirty Bird?

PS: Go Crows!!!

Chief's been doing some testing on my account.
And yes, my name was tarnished, needed a new name

Yeah, deleted my post as I saw you were back to normal. Was confused as to what was happening!

 

[Geoffa32]

I have two concerns about this game.

Port getting it out of our HF line and having an easy run to goal with their quick runners. This will also bring Hoff into the game. That is how they beat GWS last week, and I do see other sides get the ball out of our HF line too easily and have concerned about it for some time.

Us putting a quick five goals on the board and going to "sleep" and thinking the game is won. I will be a tad bit nervous if we are five goals up at quarter time.



However across every line we are the better side.

Even in his form slump, for his par, Jaconbs is better than both Renouf and Lobbe.
Our midfield is far better at contested ball and clearances. Their best contested clearance winner is Wines and last week he looked buggered. He has been doing a lot of work in the past two games for an 18 year old kid. Against our midfield he should struggle big time.
Their backline has an issue defending key forwards. Jenkins had 6 shots on goal against them in the T20 mini game and outmarked their KPD with ease. I reckon he could have a big game if they focus on Tex. Hendo could be a handfull for them as well.
Our backline is a bit of a weakness, but I reckon they are still better than their forwards. Neade could be a handfull though.

 

[Puddy]

Who will go with Westhoff? Floppy Henderson seems like a good option for a tagging job on him, can't really afford to let him cut you up

Very important test for Brown I reckon.

This isn't the banter thread. Take that shit there, or go to the Bay. Or piss off. Your choice

 

[Glenno23]

Yep. I reckon he;s up to it. Neade has been very good for goal assists (i think he leads the league in 2013) and seems the perfect body shape and speed to try and nullify him

Hopefully Brown can rack up some nice DT and SC points while he's at it
