Showdown XIX - Predictions

[- PC -]

if we blow it out 15,000 to 20,000 cows fans will leave before the game is finished

Or if the Power fail watch the scratched cars with '' Hes the Messiah'' stickers on them

Crows to win by 18 points

 

[Mr Magoo]

Adelaide by 5 points

Yes i agree that Adelaide will be in front in the 1st quarter by 5 points.
Port will then proceed to slowly dissect the crows defence & win by 19 points.

 

[Portia]

Going to do that from the sidelines then?

Ah, cunning, I missed that one. Hmm, no obvious match up now.

 

[Macca19]

We had a sweep at work and I strategically tipped the Crows by 42 points. I think the Crows will win, but not by that much.

I think Chad will be a let down....hes been talked up all week, he'll get about 9 possesions for the match. I think Tredders will play well. Mcleod will be the match winner.

Crows by 17 points after leading by 30 at the start of the last quarter and Port kicking the first 4 goals of the last quarter.

 

[PortProudWA]

I will spend 90% of the game outside under my verandah smoking and just watch the replay on video after the games finished.

Yer, thanks to Channel Ten, I will be joining ya!!

 

[Portia]

Same

 

[Northalives]

No hope the Crows.
Port will win comfortably and rest key players in the last 1/4.

 

[ClintEastwood]

I think Chad will be a let down....hes been talked up all week, he'll get about 9 possesions for the match. I think Tredders will play well. Mcleod will be the match winner.

I see the reverse happening. Tredders unfortunately to be well held by Rutten, and Chad to have a pretty big one.

Byron to be the ace in the deck.

Nearly typed that it would be a draw. Bugger it, I'll tip Port.

BURTON clanger count = 7

How do you know he is only playing 1 quarter

Trying that reverse psychology trick again mate?

 

[gbear]

I am so nervous, but excited about tonight.

Port by 2 points

 

[Sheeds]

Im certainly feeling the pinch.

Im not sure if is due to going into the city after the United game last night and having quite a few drinks but im feeling pretty nervous about this game, as well as pretty hungover.

I just hope we can start well and dictate matters early.

CARN THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ClintEastwood]

hungover

Tell me about it. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh.

Don't ever play darts for skulls.

 

[jasnik]

Here's a prediction:

Both teams realise that:

a) this is a truly 50-50 game
b) whoever wins will kill themselves trying, and limp over to Perth next week to be rolled by the Eagles.

Therefore before the game tonight Roo and Tredders agree that whoever wins the toss wins the game. The winner gets a week off (like the Eagles), no injuries, and therefore maximise their chances of beating the Eagles next week. The losers get to start Mad Monday 2 days early. All fans get a refund as the ball was never bounced to start the game.

Hold on, on second thoughts this could never happen. You can't decide important things like this with a coin toss - what was I thinking?

Rock paper scissors is the answer!!!
