The Official "Power v Crows" Showdown slanging thread...

[PowerForGood]

Thought I'd start one off, given that we have a whole week to go.

(Firstly, objectively, what awful form both teams are in. Port have lost 5 in a row, Crows 4 in a row. But that's enough of the niceties.)

Port Adelaide to show up the Crows as finals "pretenders" and win by 25 points.

Good idea...................... I s'pose.
Port suck! Us? Well, not much better lately.
Not really motivated to be here actually.
Footy sucks sometimes.

Port are going to win 1 more game this year.....

Showdown or Carlton.

Either way....

No surprise Chad was bought back for a runaround last week, he wants to be ready to stir up his crosstown ferals

Bring back Lade and Wilbur, let their careers go out on a high, line up and finish off Edwards and Basset

I don't condone Bickley-style violence though - let's just help finish off their season rather than their careers.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Tredrea should be the Orange-boy.
Port will win the first three quarters and choke on the final siren....Crows by 7 points

 

[joejoe]

Crows by 6















Goals...

 

[PowerForGood]

Crows to kick 6















Goals...

Edited for accuracy, given the goal kicking "talent" still standing.

With a final eight spot on offer... err sorry; for the Crows I mean... Id expect another win.
Port to 'pull' their highest crowd this year and win via the gate takings... thanks to the support of the Crow faithful.

Our highest crowd this year will be in a Showdown? What a shock.

 

[PowerKop]

It will probably be a draw

Didn't you sell out a couple of non-showdown games in the first couple of years?

 

[WhyAlwaysMe]

A lot of Ports home Showdowns have been sold out, but in the last couple of years Adelaide supporters have started refusing to go to Port 'home' Showdowns. Now they say it's because they are scared of the big mean Port supporters but really it's a ploy to deny Port of making profit on gate receipts. I personally go to any Showdown, I don't give a rats if my 25 dollars is going to Adelaide, I want to be there to get behind my team.

I hear you like getting behind footballers Rawry - OH NO SHE DI-UNT!

neways m8ys, its a draw 4 shaw!

 

[Damp Squarie]

Ruttens lickin his lips already. Should out score Tredlol again.

 

[subaru]

Crows got no forward line (how handy would Welsh be right about now...mmmm) and Port got no backline - it will all be down to the midfield...I'm betting on either Team Under 15.5..........

I booked tickets to Richmond vs Essendon for this weekend before the season started because my gf is a Bombers fan (worse than Port I know).

It seemed like a stupid decision after a few rounds to miss the Showdown but it is looking like a good move now.

There should be 80,000 at the G, both teams in good form having kicked 48 goals between them this weekend.

I think Adelaide will win the Showdown but unfortunately it may well come down to who plays the less badly. Adelaide's defenders have the wood on the Port forwards.

Actually that 25 dollars would be going to the AFL which in turn would be going to Port Adelaide via that stupid money scheme thingo.

Is Tredders a goal kicking 'talent'?

 

[footy4ever]

Unfortunately after freezing my ass off watching the crows get crushed at the 'G', and losing Burton and Porp, I have to agree with the OP.

Crows are doing it just as tough as Port at the moment. At least Port are getting close. 2 pts!Ouch! That must have hurt again! (Couldn't just finish without some kind of needle)

 

[Bosley]

How ironic that this is probably the most good natured thread that has been posted about Port or the Crows this season

Not a nasty comment amongst them yet!

Maybe I should change my team to Port and start abusing you ...

and your shitty team

 

[D_One]

The Crows have nothing up forward except for Tippett and even Thurstons could beat him. The Crows will turn it into a slow moving defensive low scoring game. It could be worse than that early showdown where both teams only scored 9 goals.

I totally agree with this notion. With Tredrea up forward and the ever reliable Motlopin our supremo forward line how can we not beat this team of dead set hacks.
