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.

  • 2 weeks later...
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!

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
