and Our Sendough LOL !

Are people still seriously upset over a jovial one finger salute, probably between friends, at a 2013 showdown?

 

[Tredz]

Hahahahaha!!! Don't take me too seriously (just a bit).

Still, it may be erroneous or not. What if the official policy is to allow any ticket to grant access or to leave up to the clerks to decide considering the circumstances of the day? The amount of Junior tickets used by seniors may be so small, that the stadium currently may accept the exceptions — because it means more people inside (and probably consuming more as well). They could simply avoid making it public because it would no longer be exception. Those things happen.

One can only know that by presenting the ticket at the turnstile. Most probably, this will happen:

— Sir, it is a Junior ticket.
— I know. Is there a problem?
— Of course, there is a problem! It is for kids!
— Sorry. I was told I could come and present it. Is there anything I might do to fix it?
— You must go to any ticket booth and pay a difference to upgrade it.
— Ok. Thanks.

But it might be:

— Have a good game, sir!
— Thanks!

Your argument now becomes hypothetical and not in keeping with the original context of the discussion. Regardless however, the individuals integrity is still compromised. Any attempt to knowingly enter with a lesser value ticket for which one is not qualified to use - successful or not, regardless of any stated or unstated policy - still compromises ones integrity. Just because a department store accepts that they will lose a certain amount of stock and have policies in place to accept such losses because the cost of pursuing such losses is too great doesn't absolve the thief of wrongdoing.

The 2nd coming of Riccutio has got only 25 touches and 1 point across the last 2 weeks.

Ha, thats a purple patch for the big Fog.

 

[Powertron]

I reckon we will win and win quite well. I like the balance of our side.

To me, they look to have deviated from what their strengths are. Trying a smaller forward line as an example. When Jenkins is in the ruck, there will only be Tex up there. Surprised they didnt bring in Fog or another tall.

Why they aren’t playing Fog is beyond me. He’s obviously talented and has a big future, surely getting games into him early rather than dicking around with some of the hacks they have would make sense.

He should be their best forward in 2-3yrs.

Each turnstile in the row has a barcode scanner and screen on each side that serves as a traffic light.

With a successful scan of an adult ticket, the screens flash up green, the turnstile unlocks and you're good regardless.

With a successful scan of a concession/junior ticket, the screens flash up orange (signalling a steward to challenge the patron for eligibility) as the turnstile unlocks.

If there's any sort of error, ie the ticket has already been scanned today, screens'll flash red and the turnstile won't unlock.

Now, in the case of orange, there are far more turnstiles than there are stewards. When I get there usually an hour or more before first bounce, I've been able to scan my adult ticket on the edge of the turnstile row and there hasn't been a steward for 5-10 metres. So it's feasible to do the Sammy Sneako.

It's funny because I think they know their season is over and if we get hold of them early they'll fold.

I hope you're completely wrong and I'm right.

Crows will be up for the fight early but some of the comments you read on here it's as if they've got more to play for than us. It's unbelievable.

 

[pastmyprimus]

We're a better side than last year and the Crows have gone backwards. This is the most confident I've felt going into a showdown for quite some time.

 

[Wargreymon90]

I'm still a bit traumatised from the Fremantle game so am naturally very nervous.

But we are the better side and should prove it at this stage of the year

That was the gist of the metaphor (Motlop's goal serving as the shocker) as per the earlier references to the Hinkley handsignals, yes.

But Tribes, Kermit the frog can't drink tea!

Ollie Mentioned in his presser how much the team appreciated the cheer squad chanting at one end of the ground he said in all that cold he feels it really got the boys up. Hopefully we have a noisy crowd at the showdown

 

[gtrxuone]

Both sides need a win here.Crows for top 8 contention and Port to cement themselves in the top 4.Been a horrible year for last years runner up's. And the first showdown was another in 18 for the Crows.
It will be close tight and tough. But if Charlie's bag from last week is the start of a form lift think Port will win by 15 points.

Its always hard to read between fan service and genuine comment. I'm sure it bought some togetherness.

OK I can't be bothered turning up that early, so I'll head to the box office and

Got a text from mum 'bruce mcarnerny has a gut feeling the Crows will win."

Bless. Bruce McArnerny lol

[JimmyBeerCans]

We should be able to absorb a challenge and kick away but we do have howlers against ordinary oppo from time to time & regardless of Showdown this Showdown that the Crows are hot garbage.

Sometimes we just lose self belief in these away showdowns rapidly. Have we improved enough to keep our nerve? To keep a lid on these guys and do it in wet?
