yeah the bigt test for crows is coming, next four weeks: Fremantle, St Kilda, Port, Geelong.

getting to the pointy end now!

Freo shoulder be penned in as a win (even though they gave Carlton a hard time) and maybe even Port, but the other 2 are definitely gonna be tough.

Geelong IMHO needed to lose today and possibly did themselves a favour, on the other hand, I reckon Saints will go into finals less prepared than the Cats next time.

I picked the Saints today but if they face off in the finals again, I'll pick the Cats next time.

Unfortunatly i agree with you...We almost need a loss to give us some fight and anger again, though yesterday there was quite a bit there.

Twas a great game though and alot could be taken out of it from both clubs

Agreed, the old stigma of coming into finals undefeated "you gotta lose sometime!". Geelong will probably spend the whole week reviewing and improving on where they went wrong, and will probably be better prepared for the next time they play the saints.

Port and Crows will be a cracker IMO, Port have an outstanding home run this year, and Crows who are on quite a streak! Be a good game to watch, whos home game is it?

Freo can have an automatic win against Adelaide as long as they get rid of that f**king yellow strip, its f**king horrid.

The next Showdown will be a Crows' home game.

Carlton wore a yellow guernsey against Freo yesterday in support of cancer research by the Cancer Foundation. Is that the top you are referring to? Is was pretty awful but it was for a good cause (all the players signed their tops and they were/will be sold as a fund raiser.

And as a Crows' supporter we never give away an automatic win. Adelaide has never won less than 8 games in a season. It is the equivalent of Liverpool or Man United but on a much smaller scale and within the confines of the AFL (salary cap, drafts etc to equalise the clubs). It is an AFL superclub.

LOL at the AFL tribunal!!!!!!!!

Barry Hall: Intentional punch to the Truck's face (with a shocking record of offences) = 2 weeks suspension. :D

Jarrad Brennan: Headbutts Carr (Carr's head split open and had to leave the field) = 1 week suspension. :(

Troy Chaplin: Eyes on the ball, leaping to spoil, clash of players (other player got straight up and continued with the game unhurt) = 2 weeks suspension. :down::):)

Should've, would've, could've been:

Barry HAll: 6 weeks

Jarrad Brennan: 6 - 8 weeks

Troy Chaplin: Pat on the back by the coach for courage.

If that umpire is at the next Showdown, I'll jump the fence, LOL.

yeah, good onya Baz (considering Swans & Port are the last 2 teams to challenge for a spot in September) nice way to leave your teams mates in the lurch..........no self control, constantly letting his team mates down by sitting in the stands for most of the season.......dude must be Bi-Polar!!

Me thinks the coach & board gave him a little bit of a push just so they can have a settled side for the second 1/2 of the minor round........imagine if he pulled this shizz in Sept??!!

Barry Hall: Intentional punch to the Truck's face (with a shocking record of offences) = 2 weeks suspension. :blink:Should have been more but irrelevant now...unless he plays for another club next season. Does the suspension carry over then?

Jarrad Brennan: Headbutts Carr (Carr's head split open and had to leave the field) = 1 week suspension. :wacko:Was given 3 weeks, 1 week reduced for guilty plea, 1 week further reduced for good record for last 5 years. Still should be out for 3 weeks.

Troy Chaplin: Eyes on the ball, leaping to spoil, clash of players (other player got straight up and continued with the game unhurt) = 2 weeks suspension. :(:D:)Rich played very little in the 4th quarter and had minimal impact. Was clear effected by the collision. TV didn't show at what point Chaplin left the ground and he was never going to make the contest. Too bad. He was playing pretty well too.

If that umpire is at the next Showdown, I'll jump the fence, LOL. I have quoted you on this. I expect a member of the SAUSA board to be true to their word!

Must say i've watched a few port games this year (not a supporter mind you) and that was probably THE worst i've ever seen them play! Melbourne have a pretty decent lineup (been saying that all year as well with many a sAfrican American and laugh) that is very young and still making silly decisions but will be very good in the next few years.

Crows showed how to play the bottom of the ladder team and deservedly so thrashed them.

Hawthorn had no right to win that game either they were shocking and we knocked the eagles off in perth...Not getting to carried away now just waiting till sept when it all starts again and the home and away rounds mean nothing.

So is the top 8 pretty well set now?

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
