Preview Showdown 51: Round 3, 2022 vs Adelaide

[Mikey13G]

There will be so much expectation on us to win, Koch saying today we will be playing for sheep stations just adds to it.

The crows have the sniff of a chance to pull off an upset and leave us on the bottom of the ladder.

We know how these games go under the current regime.

Not a good night to be a Coke Zero on Friday!

a loss this week is definitely better, for the greater good of the club. don't think any of us are going to be able to sit through the crows beating us and enjoy it one bit though. kind of a win-win situation at the end of the day really.

lose-win if we actually win tho. hmmm this is a weird one

How would we feel if Port is 4 points up when the siren goes, but Flogarty took a mark seconds before? Would we be barracking for the Flog to kick it?

I'll be going for the flog to kick it. If we can barely beat a rat s**t Crows outfit we are not going to be contenders this season. We get what we deserve as Ken likes to say.

 

[RossFC]

How far away are the below?
Robbie Gray?
Bergman?
Clurey? - I suspect 2-3 weeks here.

Check out the injury list thread, Bergman played SANFL.

 

[RossFC]

People rave on about untried players and assume they'll be good based off SANFL form. Hayes for example might be good or he might not make it. We saw what happened with Williams last year and we saw what happened with Skinner on Saturday.

Williams always had a problem with his fitness and defensive work despite kicking goals from his limited disposals. He went exactly as expected when called up.

 

[Alyx]

Good Lord, what is happening in there!?

Three flags in five years.

Three flags in five years? At this time in your tenure, at this low-point in the season, localised entirely within your brilliant mind?

Yes.

May I see it?

No.

Both options are too horrible to contemplate. If we find ourselves in that position I'll be praying for Putin to hit the button.

 

[PeacefulWarrior]

I am flying to Cairns and then will drive to Port Douglas and then will get down on one knee and propose to my partner on Friday so thankfully I expect I’ll only catch the score

Well maybe if I'd nominated a Crow I hate less. Actually that's a tough ask - I hate them all........

 

[sobrave]

the club needs a loss here. a win wallpapers over the cracks for a few more rounds. rip off the bandaid.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Unpopular opinion: the best showdowns (at least from a neutral perspective) are either when both teams are mid table or s**t.

 

[Waspy79]

Lmao, I hope they're being more constructive in house, because thats a petty thing to say in public.

I would have preferred use of the word 'pathetic'

That was a weird one after the steadfast refusal to play Mitch Harvey

When we played Williams we were literally running out of players due to injury and he was coming of 6 goals. It made sense at the time

 

[Hot Port]

For one time I hope we lose on Friday and the board start taking about finding a new coach. That’s the only way..

Don't even bother with the score mate, don't ruin the moment with a chance to catch a glimpse of this buffoon

Such a fantastic place Port Douglas. Good luck. At a wedding so will miss it on tv. Hope we totally capitulate and Ken gets sacked before I tuck into my chicken parmy for lunch Saturday

Had a look at the broadcast guide wrt Channel 7 showing the Friday night games:

Showdown: SA, NT
Melbourne vs Essendon: ACT, NSW, QLD, Tassie, Vic, WA

Dealing with the AFL's media is feeling more and more like dealing with the Russian media.

With the way the two SA teams are travelling atm it's probably fair enough - people always complain about two s**t Vic teams getting a Friday game, who wants to watch two s**t 'interstate' teams?

Takes 25 years to get a Friday night football showdown, and its the first time have a double up Friday night game outside of Covid hit Football Frenzy period catch up in 2020. Good Friday tends to be a 4.00pm game 2 Vic teams on 7 then a 7.30pm game 2 non Vic teams on Fox Footy.

I wonder if we're the only club to have had multiple Friday night games not on FTA TV? Good Friday v West Coast in 2019 (I was there) & this Friday? Can't imagine it's happened to many others.

 

[Jason K]

We're laying my step father to rest Friday and he was a crows supporter. I don't even think I'll be angry when we lose

 

[malcheski]

For reasons unbeknownst to me, I am attending Friday night. I walk not in fear, but acceptance of what is to come, for no mere thrashing can strip away any more enthusiasm than I have already through ‘the Hinkley years’.
