Preview Showdown 49: Round 8, 2021 vs Adelaide

[Marmozet]

It's Showdown time again!

Both teams are coming off disappointing losses, with us going down to Brisbane up at The GABBA and the Crows at home to GWS.

Form:
Port Adelaide: 5-2, 3rd
Adelaide: 3-4, 13th

Currently, the Showdown ledger is locked at 24-24, with us winning the previous two by 57 and 75 points respectively. Let's take a look at the most recent Showdown:




That was an amazing win in an even more amazing jumper, one we should be wearing again this week!

Shouldn't be letting these campaigners kick more than 4 goals.

I think we'll aim to have the game won by half-time and then shut up shop to get ready for the bigger, more important game against the Bulldogs the week after and hopefully get through without another injury.

...or we could absolutely slaughter them into oblivion by a record margin, which would have been the case last year if quarters were 20 minutes.

The choice is ours.

God I hope we are not thinking this.

Shutting up shop worked so well for us leading in to the brisbane and west coast games!

 

[AwwThatsApples]

Do not spare them a merciless massacre!

 

[El Zorro]

We win and we win big.

I don't think Crows are remotely close to being able to exploit our lack of forward pressure and our inability to hold contested marks in poor conditions.

We bring the Brisbane game back here we need to be selling Ken to Collingwood to get out of this contract.

Hope it doesn’t rain.

we can’t ski in the wet.

 

[MrPlow]

Only way I’m getting over last week is by beating Crows by a record margin

Dixon needs confidence let’s play him back into form

 

[tribey]

Walker: regressing to type
McAdam: SANFL standard
Rowe: SANFL standard
Himmelberg: SANFL standard
Thilthorpe: 12-18 months away
Murphy: SANFL-standard

If they kick anything approaching a winning score we should lock the doors, burn it down and salt the earth.

 

[Marmozet]

The quality of the Showdown rivalry will take a bit of a hit given where both our lists are at respectively.

It'll take years for them to consider a Friday Night Showdown again.

 

[Capital Power]

We are 5-0 against Victorian teams and 0-2 against foreigners. We don't stand a chance

 

[GremioPower]

I have two words for you. They say it all:

SHOWDOWN WEEK​

Forget about everything else.

 

[philreich]

It truly bothers me that the Crows currently hold the record for the highest ever Showdown margin - we need to put the foot on their throat early, and not let up until they're properly humiliated.

 

[gtrxuone]

Just looking at the Western Derby's.Eagles have now won the last 11 clashes.
The current gap between Port and the Crows is quiet large.Some of the younger Crows players. Who have had a good start to the season.Look tied and need the buy round.
If Port play close to there potential they should win,even if the Showdown is a hard fought match.Theres no better chance for Port to string together 6 to 8 showdown victory's in a row.
Last 2 Showdowns have been big Port wins.

[dirty2]

We need to bury these pretenders win by 80 or semaphore at 6am Sunday for training.

 

[Hot Port]

Don’t care if we are called flat track bully. Just win and win big!!

 

[Marmozet]

Anything less than a 75 point win will be underwhelming
