Unofficial Preview Showdown 45

[Nemisis]

Showdown 45 looks set to be a big one. Port are attempting to secure a Top 8 or possibly even a Top 4 spot, while the Crows season may be very close to over, they’d love to put a huge dent in Port’s chances so we can expect a very hot and fierce contest, even better with the ledger all square at 22-22.

Brodie Smith returning from injury to play his first game in 331 days is a terrific story. Good on the lad. Yeah

Can Port clean sweep the Crows for Season 2018, or will the Crows get revenge for “flashpoint! Stevie Motlop...what a time!” and keep their slim finals hopes alive?

Until then, please enjoy this

What a defining moment in both teams season... Motlop will burn up the track come September. I still think we can go all the way ... just need ALL players in form.

Under rated post.

Love that people are frothing about Jonas saying "we hate the Crows", meanwhile a few years back.....

Said Crows defender Nigel Smart during a radio interview ahead of the long-awaited re-match, "We just want to get into them and bash them".

As a dirty little sniper dropping knees into opponents when they're on the ground a special quality of his
perfected from lots of practice.

Don't be too harsh on Douglas. He did play a pivotal role in that Motlop goal.

 

[GremioPower]

One of the greatest things of playing away is being able to score and enjoy the deafening silence coming suddenly from the stands; but against West Lakes, you score and... nothing changes.

All year i've been waiting for us to click, and click good all year. Did we show signs last week? The coaches said they saw really good signs against GWS, perhaps this is the week, it feels like it to me I just want to see it. Interesting it has come about when the Crows seem to be the favourite, just how the Port of old used to like it.

Love that people are frothing about Jonas saying "we hate the Crows", meanwhile a few years back.....

In other news, Jonas also sparked controversy by affirming that water is wet; and fire, warm.

What do they honestly want to hear? That he likes them?

At least we’re up front and open about how much we hate them, and don’t resort to sly, underhanded acts such as covering their race with black plastic for our home showdown....or fly a plane over Adelaide Oval during the first AO showdown pulling a sign that says “Our Home Ground”....

They were advertising so their supporters wouldn't go to Footy Park instead.

neade doesnt get enough love in that goal. strength to hold the crows player out and make a contest was second to none

This week it clicks. Ports clicks.

Ports clicks so well, it brings together various BigFooty cliques to form one big clique, which means I don't have to worry about which clique I belong to anymore, that's even if I'm in a clique, or I'm just my own lil' clique.

Click for cliques farken...

Then the ball spilled out to another favourite Port “whipping boy” by the name of Sammie Gray who laid off a sublime handball to a rampant Steven Motlop. The result the winning goal!

 

[The Rubber Man]

Mcgoven out is looking more and more likely.
Will be massive if he misses. Rate him very highly.

This week could be tough to watch.

We could come out firing or misfiring. Fingers crossed this isn’t a repeat of the dons or dockers contests.

 

[Magpiespower]

Also, only person in the whole wide world can get away with droppin' "sunshine" on someone and not look like a flamin' galah...

Which would explain why Bickley shattered Wakelin's face.

But nah, "wharfie thugs", etc.

 

[Willsy10]

Why do we struggle so much against the Crows wearing white shorts?

I am relieved it will be on Saturday.
Waiting until Sunday would be excruciating.
Get it over with one way or the other.

Club desperately needs two home finals as it’s sounding like the piggy bank is empty

The AFL will still schedule them in the twilight or 12.40 Sunday slots.

Hopefully the late third quarter syndrome will still be there. Against Melbourne from 16.36 to 30.18 in Q3 the cows coughed up 5.2 and against us it was 5.2 from 21.47 to 32.21 of the third.

 

[ExpectToWin]

Is this weeks game classified as a Day Game or Night game because Adelaide has won 0 of their Day games and have 9 Night game wins.

Just tell them it’s a day game then...turn the lights on early to hopefully confuse them!

I wonder how SPP will contend with the 40000 plus boos he will receive from crowd. It was bad enough listening to the idiots in the first showdown. It will at Adam Goodes level this time.

Pretty sure that SPP is the sort of player where booing just makes him better.
