Anyone keen to go to the Showdown this Sunday? Game kicks off at 4:10pm.

Prices are for adults are $38.85 undercover; $35.85 from 50m arc, along the wing to other 50m arc; or $26.50 behind the goals.

Prices for concession are $29.15 undercover; $27.65 50m arc to 50m arc; $20.35 behind the goals.

These games are generally tight and the Power won the round 6 game this year. I wouldn't be surprised if the Power turned their fortunes around and squashed the Crows' finals aspirations.

Let me know if you want to go as I'd like to book tickets either tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

I would love to - however I cant fit in the seat aisles!!! not enough space for my long gogogadget legs, makes it extremely uncomfortable.

by half time Im in a world of hurt. Just isnt worth it for me tbqh.

yeah right Dave :(

History has shown that ladder positions and previous form count for very little in Showdowns and quite often the favourite loses. Overall the Power lead 15-13.

Since the 'Ultimate Showdown' semi-final in 2005 the results have gone:

2006 Rd 06: Crows

2006 Rd 21: Power

2007 Rd 03: Crows

2007 Rd 18: Crows

2008 Rd 03: Crows

2008 Rd 16: Power

2009 Rd 06: Power

2009 Rd 17: Crows

2010 Rd 06: Power

2010 Rd 17: Power

so, WB sacked Jason Akermanis

what a failure of a club (my opinion).... there goes this years premership opportunity

it's guys like Aker who make footy clubs like they want to be - ie successful, talked about, feared, hated, loved....- WB knew this 4 yrs ago and know this now, so what has changed?

they thought he would pull his head in after Brisbane sacked him, now they have learnt that the guy will never learn! I dont mind Aker, and hes a good player, but if he would just stop trying to be so controversial, hed be so much more popular.

"However, it's also the case that over the last 18 months, Jason has been involved in a number of incidents in which matters confidential to the inner sanctum of our football department and players have been the subject of inappropriate disclosure on their behalf outside the club."

- David Smorgan, WB President

Sounds like hes been warned before.

I feel sorry for Aker but he's his own worst enemy..........I don't ever recall a player having ever been sacked from 2 clubs.

The guy unfortunately doesn't understand all the "C" words: club culture, comradery, conduct & code......if he was an outlaw biker, he'd be dead man walking.

Aker refuses to look past his nose at the wider picture but would rather argue tit for tat about little issues cause he knows he'd win the little arguements rather than see that 1 player is never bigger than the club.

Sam Newman took his side cause he felt obliged after dropping his name in when he shouldn't have and managed to suck in the whole audience with his eloquent speech......Gary Lyon was the only one there that was credible by offering his views from the perspective of an ex champion player, Captain, and true club man.

Aker needs to wake up cause the world doesn't revolve around him even if he was in the top 10 best players in the AFL........which he's not by a long shot.

I've heard the arguement that if he was in the top 10 best players in the AFL, that they wouldn't have sacked him........maybe not, but they'd be barely putting up with him. Sure he had a big say in the 3 Lion's flags but that was almost a decade ago, now he's extra baggage with more of a liability than an asset to the club.

Footy??!

Meh.......I'm so over it :P

yer i see the magpies are needing to raise another $250k or something around that ballpark to remain in the SANFL - wtf are they doing over there with all the money, buying all the crystal meth from ben cousins ex dealer?

-D

Hmm, no more Bocky and nothing in return for him...........if I was Crow supporter I'd feel really ripped off just like West Coast will at the end of the year when they get the wooden spoon but no 1st round or extra picks.

Struggling clubs are gonna really hate the 2 new teams!

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
