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.

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 :blink:

apparently there was only 2000 tickets left for sale this morning

i think sam is in the shit

ill be there!

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.

Adelaide up 2 goals vs Ports 1 point

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

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.

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.....

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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
