Footy

I'll pass then.....

Looks like the Crows are going in unchanged this week.....

Hrm one would hope they pull their finger out. Last weeks effort was pretty shite, inspite of their win.

-D

[TALBO]

I thought that Craigy's little fav boy Knights might have got a game....

[whatsisname]

Love your work, Pete. Can't fault your tips either... I've gone for the old win-win tip for the Showdown. Crows win, all is good. They lose, I get a tip right.

For me the jury is still out on Knights. He's turning into another Scotty Thompson, but with less class and potential. He has a tendency to turn the ball over far too often under pressure (clangers) with poor disposal in clutch situations. I rate David Mackay, NVB, and Bernie Vince all ahead of Knights at the moment. He needs to lift his game to the next level.

As for Port, I reckon Choco should've left Carr in perfect opportunity for Josh to get his 'mojo' back. Matty Thomas will have to find someone else to knockout now that Bass' has retired.

I hope the game is much the same as the 1st Showdown (Rd 3 or 4?) last year. That was an awesome game. Good hard footy, close all game, with the Crows taking the win by 6pts, and Vince winning the SD medal.

[TALBO]

I don't like Knights because to me he's a little soft and always seems reluctant to get in there (pack) to take possession of the ball.... and then there's the clangers you mentioned.....

I just hope we get a crowd of 40k plus, so Sam has to front up to Rundle Mall in his Reg Grundies.

apparently there was only 2000 tickets left for sale this morning

i think sam is in the shit

ill be there!

Haha, hedging your bets both ways Matt....I do that alot.

I agree about Josh....as bad as he may be travelling, he always gets up for the Showdowns, especially when his best mate Roo was playing

Yeah Luke unfortunately ticket sales don't always equate to numbers at the gate which is what the bet was based on....I'd like to see over 40K there for sure.

I'll be in the Members on Sat' night, so if any of you fellow SAU's are going to be in the Members let me know and I'll be sure to say g'day.

I'll be in Bay 120, Seats C12 & C13........Northern end, just behind the right point post.

Andrew (Nightcrawler) should be there somewhere tonight just have to find out where.

FEVVY!!!

wtf happened?

[PREISS]

lol. thought he was about to cry.

[TALBO]

How would you feel.....

[Dohmar]

Adelaide up 2 goals vs Ports 1 point

however

Port showing a lot of talent, good ballwork. one of those ugly ass cornes boys just marked with one hand while he was being tackled - pure skill.

And it looks like theyve just scored their first one

7-12

Its gonna be a good game I reckon

-D

Edit +1 goal for port. Looks like they turned up this week lol

Just a shame the game is going to be decided by umpires....

[SLED]

41,500........now we have to put up with Sam Newman coming to town.

Poor Fev......the mate I went to the footy with tonight is a Carlton boy and he cried all night......still 8 goals in a game is his equal best ever.

Commiserations to Matt & Talbo, great game if you are a Port boy though, but must've been frustrating watching all the side ways action to your goals and Port's ruck domination, not to mention the Cornes boys who will suffer from leather poisoniong this week, lol.

You'll have to try and square the ledger in 3 mths time.

Port looked slick tonight. Quick ball movement, good skills, and first to the footy. Hammered us in the ruck too! They clearly wanted it more and they deserved the win. Truck was poor, first time in a while Tredders has won that match-up. I tipped Port and expected them to win convincingly - tipped them by 20pts and wasn't far off - 26pts

Really didn't expect the Hawks to win. Fev's miss was a shocker. That's one tip that got away. The Eagles was the other one... mind you it was more of an Eagles loss than a Freo win - 9 goals 20 is a lot of wasted opportunities.

[SLED]

clearly WC are the better side I reckon Matt but poor kicking equates to poor footy unfortunately.

I was very surprised about Rutten tonight cause normally he has Tredders number.

[skylineguy19]

didnt watch the game, watched updates on my phone but, didnt care who won but i tipped port so glad they won.....as much as i hate them lol.

Sad weekend to be a bombers fan this weekend. f*kn brisbane lol. Must have been cause i didnt wear my essendon boxers, last 2 weeks i have and they won lol.

[TALBO]

Ablett Jnr to miss 3 weeks with injury.

[Krishy]

i watched the Melb vs Geelong game and even though Geelong won, melbourne has a lot to look forward to in the near future.....considering where melbourne are atm they did pretty damn good to keep in touch with Geelong....instead of being hammered.....

[SLED]

Don't know about that Krishy.......history tells us that occasionally bottom teams can roll top teams cause of lack of preparation by the top team or the "nothing to lose" attitude of the bottom team.

Even though they put up a bit of a fight against the Cats, they're still a bottom 2 side IMO.

With Ablett out for 3 (maybe even 4), it won't really make much difference against Swans @ home next week and NM (no Boomer) at home again the week after.......Doggies away the following week could be a bit tougher but I'm still backing the Cats in that one.
