Game Day Showdown 56

[Grave Danger]

 

[Steve Dore]

Youse know that playing Showdowns is scary.

Daddy Donuts' job is safe and a win is necessary for us to lock in the double chance. The Camry Crows have admitted that this game is their Grand Final.

Camry Crows by 27.

Hinkley to break the record for the most VFL/AFL games coached without making a Grand Final.

 

[Jello_B]

Put Drew on Couch. Without him they can’t get the ball out.
Happy for JHF, Butters and Rozee to go head to head with Dawson. They really don’t have anyone else.

 

[WillemDaDrew]

Off to see the Tina Turner show this evening at QPAC, so regrettably I'll be missing toinght's showdown LVI.

Will check after 11 when the BF server processor's recovers from the meltdown.

Burton to kick a bag.

Crows by 14 points...

 

[PAFC66]

If they can't win this today forget about finals and pull the trigger on Ken Monday/shoot him into the sun

 

[Powerade 08]

Can’t go to game. Seeing ABBA tribute band. Put Drew on sofa. Port by 80. Shoot keninkly

 

[Troopsy]

Just **** them up

 

[Ford Fairlane]

What is good, Port Adelaide?

 

[Duck Farmer]

No excuses today, Port either demonstrate they are mature team tonight against the franchise or it should be curtains for Hinkley at seasons end.

You just know that if we lose the usual pundits will be saying "Yeah, they had an off night but in the bigger picture Kenny's still got them sitting 4th on the ladder" while conveniently overlooking the wall size print of failure in high stakes games hanging from the rafters of the MG High Performance Centre.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Last few weeks have given me a 0.1% skerrick of a modicum of hope, would be lovely if the Crows could snuff that out tonight so I can go back to being emotionally checked out. Cheers.

 

[Janey]

I watched that whole interview to see what he said. I thought it was fine and he actually sounded ok and wasn't a twat. Was just talking about the rivalry really.

Sorry, but he really was a twat.

 

[Steve Dore]

Put Drew on Couch. ...

The couch or Paul Couch (RIP)?

 

[EskimoPAFC]

We've hit that point in the season where we're probably not going to finish low enough to get rid of him so we may as well just start hoping for a miracle flag in spite of him.

Also would be good to not let the showdown ledger swing too far in their favour.

So... just win ****ing

 

[Del165198]

Ump melts, Marshall melts, Dixon melts, Kenny melts, Boak melts, so many melts we'd be able to start a themed sandwich shop.

Kenny wouldn't want his toasty cheese melted, it's too spicy. Lukewarm Kraft singles only

Yes but this is exactly why we'll lose. We always get to this point in the season and then stop trying because daddy's job is safe.

Mine evaporated after we went life or death with an extremely mediocre Melbourne missing two of their best players.

 

[Us against the rest]

Not playing for the club or the fans, they are playing for Hinkley's job, so this time we win. 19 points.

Not sure Kenny would even go for Kraft singles. He's more likely a shelf stable Kraft Cheddar processed cheese type of guy.

 

[backtozero]

Actually pretty excited about tonight. Sold out crowd, Saturday night feels like there's a bit of extra spice involved in this one. I'm ready to yell at their flog players.

Of course, they could come out completely flat and get blown away early in classic Ports Showdown fashion but I'm hoping for the opposite.

 

[philreich]

At least one of their most punchable heads (Walker) isn't playing, but IMHO anyone who wears that hideous jumper has a punchable head.

 

[Visenfest]

If we win the midfield we win the game. Need to bring pressure for the whole game too - no easy ball movement for them.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

This game I think will really give us an answer to if there'll be a different plot line in how the finals will pan out.

Rozee in particular as captain has said all the rights things, now for the team to back it up.

 

[ElectricG]

I watched that whole interview to see what he said. I thought it was fine and he actually sounded ok and wasn't a twat. Was just talking about the rivalry really.

I think the comment of about teeth would’ve got a port player raked over the coals. Personally I don’t care, and he did follow it up with praise for JHF. Storm in a teacup.

 

[theouthouse]

Eh.

Fremantle lose this afternoon and its finals guaranteed.

Top 2 spot is out of contention as I'd expect Geelong to spank their opponents in Saints and WCE, and I can't see Port beating the Crows by a lot.

See what the results are this afternoon, but realistically could only be playing for the double chance and bragging rights.

 

[manureid]

I think we all have a pretty good idea how this will play out.
