Anon 129145... r u kidding me? Didnt u see the free kick count 21 to 11 Ports way! and Adelaide got alot of help from the umpires pfft!

I tipped the Crows - at one point they were favourites with the TAB I think, until Bode was a confirmed absence.

(#129145)
yer brag all u wont crows supporters but u did get ALOT of help frm the umpires

Good on you Anon, Brain dead grammar.

Go the Crows! Nothing better than to beat Port. I tipped the crows too.

think the lack of crowd today was because it was a power home game

28000 what dream was that from

Ahh some things never change in SA - Crows fans will ALWAYS be one eyed clowns!

crows fans bragging about thier win if u were that good we would of been dead and buried at half time 3 goals 10 and still in the game u just got luck we had a bad game and u guys were just luky enough to be playing us that day to only win by 22 doesnt instill much fear in us i tell u showdown 23 should be a different story one game wonders!!!

2,856 tickets where not sold today,

this is why showdowns shouldnt be on sat arvo and against live tv,


and was not considering your crowd average, infact your first post didnt hint at that other wise i would have grabbed my work out and produced those figures for ya, and off on a tangent im neutral you fool couldnt give a fark either way, i was there today and yes it wasnt the most entertaining game ive seen but saying that i was at the syd/wc game and that wasnt the most entertaining game skills wise either..

interesting foot note though 28,000 is break even for a club membership wise, when will the afl stop proping up the clubs

You think Port weren't flooding? pffft.

Crows win and Port supporters think that Port are still better? Know wonder you people are saying these things, you're damn f*ckwits! You have no bloody idea! Crows running the ball is entertaining to many and it is even better to see Tredrea being beaten!

You Port supporters should learn to shut up. Port couldn't compete, Mark Williams knows it, one day it will be the opposite. Until then, try to have some class rather then dispencing lame insults! Have some god damn class!

Apologies for those who don't deserve such a verbal thrashing.

That's My Two Cents.

That was the worst showdown I've ever seen, once Neil Craig lost round one he went back to his original flooding tactics he had when he took over the team. No faith in his players to win a one on one contest he floods back heavily, your full forward was taking marks across half back ffs all day! We didn't flood at the start and it costs you against the crows because if you don't play their way ie flood then have a go at attacking doesn't work out, everyone push back try again then they kill you on the rebound so you have no choice but to employ a flood back, even then only a few times did we actually do it like the crows did. I just don't understand how the Crows supporters can support that kind of football, it's disgraceful and is ruining the game, it seems to be the as long as we are winning theory but he has no plan B, teams that are further advanced than Port are at the moment have the skills and team work to beat his crappy flood these days so they won't win a premiership with it so then I ask wtf is the point in ruining football with it?

Look at St Kilda vs Bulldogs and Carlton Essendon for how to play and for methods that will win finals.

Oh and wtf is with the Crows supporters and Tredrea? There's a weird obsession there, the guy hasn't played for 9 months and Cwaigy still triple teams him? Maybe one showdown he'll get to play actually one on one with Rutten, then I'll believe he beats him.

thankyou anon (#129241). Apologies for blowing up, i shouldn't have sunk to level of some people on here.

'Maybe one showdown he'll get to play actually one on one with Rutten, then I'll believe he beats him.'

That HAS happened, and Rutten DID shut him down.

yeah the ultimate showdown in the finals, 1 on 1 with tredders , warren had no marks in the 50 and had no impact,

either way flood or no flood, we are lucky to have such a rivalry in this state, and the passion shows in this topic.

now if only we could get sa vs vic back

Rutten clearly beat Tredrea. It was clear that Rutten had the advantage over Tredders when Warren started throwing elbows. Richard Douglas copped a beauty. Tredrea still has no success against the crows even with the help of his special mates the umpires. Tredrea is protected by them how can Scottie Thompson get pinned for holding the ball when Tredrea is sitting on top of him and has him in a headlock with his feet? Great win by the Crows. The crows are the pride of South Australia!!!!!!!!

Yes annon it would seem I have more idea then you do. The Crows rarely had a one on one yesterday in the back half, Essendon showed what happens when they have to play one on one they generally lose ie choke against West Coast.

You can break the flood though!

You can break the flood though!

as if u didnt tip the crows if u look at showdowns past port usually lose the home showdown especially if its the first of the year

i got 6 the past 3 weeks dam carlton and hawks
