Showdown Banter Thread

[spenze]

Little brothers down the road are up and about.

Will they claim under dog status in the first interview? You bet they will, particularly if Brad Ebert gets in front of the microphone, he sprays that word out like his kicks into the forward 50.

 

[Deaneus!]

How can they claim underdog if they're top of the ladder?

 

[Mattrox]

Underdogs?

Pffft Top of the ladder with 184%. Flag favourites I reckon. Janus has all the heat maps and power rankings to prove it.

April premiership favourites, that is.

Port are the Premier team at the moment and deserve to be raging favourites. Running games out and are fast. Just up and about and playing great football.






Now smash the campaigners

They claimed under dog status in our last year with Sanderson, we weren't in the 8 and they were something like 4th...but they claimed it and held onto much like their mythical 1870 crap that belongs to an entirely different team, that didn't have bandwagon supporters like this mob.

 

[Elite Crow]

They are top, if they don't win it's a choke

 

[pjcrows]

Port smell.

According to their club song they'll stop now that they are top.

 

[WAG]

Lol. Can't wait for the influx of 12 year olds and their 'witty banter'.

I hope Janus brings her latest heat maps.

 

[AFC3000]

I thought it was the Port boards turn to host the banter thread?

That would go well, life bans for all of us.

 

[secondary]

I thought the thread title was "Showdown Banner Thread", and was disappointed to find no witty one liners.

 

[GreyCrow]

Someone asked if there has ever been a 1v2 Showdown match

Thanks to Ron The Bear who provided this

2nd v 3rd 2002 R20
1st v 4th 2003 R22
4th v 5th 2002 R5
EF winner v QF loser 2005 SF

Port smell.

 

[Firewalker]

That guy who plays as a defender for them what's his name? Hombsch?

Yeah, his 'hair' should be suspended by the MRP for this match, it's one of the more disturbing things I've ever seen on a football field.

You mean its worse than Johannisen?

 

[Scorpus]

Port will be shocked at how bad they really are when they face a true premiership contender

 

[FR0GGY]

Im hoping dixon doesn't get white line fever.
Actually no strike that, i hope he does so many lines its not funny.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

First time Power and Crows have been top 2 spots on the ladder?

 

[Contested Marx]

What's the news on Jenkins?

 

[Firewalker]

You mean its worse than Johannisen?

Johannisen's chose that certain style, I'd be disturbed if someone went to a barbers and ordered a 'Hombsch', the air down at Alberton has caused a lot of weird hair receding/balding styles to players down there, Wingard would be sh!tting himself

 

[GreyCrow]

First time Power and Crows have been top 2 spots on the ladder?

Not sure but the 1st time we have played a Showdown as 1 v 2

He'll even bleed at the press conference.

 

[Elite Crow]

What's the news on Jenkins?

Cleared but you think he will be sore and rested

 

[Go the Guts]

What's the news on Jenkins?

Don't think he'll play.
Out: Jenkins Kelly
In: Menzel Lever

Oh, hey guys. Just wanted to say that so far, the Crows have beaten "Ty Vickery and Pals" straight-sets finals failures Hawthorn and a franchise with even less history and success than your own, while Port has beaten the minor premiers from the last two years, both grand finallists in the last 3 years. And yet, Port Adelaide are still top of the ladder.




Paddy Ryder > Sam Jacobs
Brad Ebert > Rory Sloane
Sam Powell-Pepper > Richard Douglas
Ollie Wines > Fatty Crouch

The midfield game is ours. History shows that the Camry Crows crumple against strong midfields (Sydney prelim for example).




Ken Hinkley > Don Pyke.

Pyke has just been cruising off a couple lucky years with no injuries. Hasn't innovated with any new strategies, and his main gameplan of kick it over their heads to Jenkins will be impossible this week.


Hinkley has kept Port competitive in the last two years despite having a sickening injury/suspension list. With Port's list finally looking more full than the Crows, Port Adelaide will dominate with their superior list.




Ports to dominate from the get-go. Dixon to score 10 on Talia now that his cheating is being cracked down on. Robbie to score another bag of 6 against frontrunner Laird. Loud 55k fans will watch Port win by ten goals all up. Nigel Smart to resign, Mackay to go at 30% disposal efficiency.
