Game Day Crows to tease: Showdown 17/08/2024

[Go the Guts]

I hate the term mini Grand Finals and some of the talk this week but I am glad in some ways the pressure is on us tonight. We need the expectation.

If we can stop the influence of JHF and also we need to find away around Aliir. If we do both off those we should win.

It's a huge game for Port, both for the premiership table and mentally to show they are a better team heading into finals. If they win this then I think they are premiership favourites.

Nah, Sydney. Easily. Load training over for them, they’re winning again, they’ll be fitter than any team for finals.

I can't see us beating Sydney.

Depends, if we treat it as a GF where as Longmires message will be “don’t do anything stupid, get injured or reported” after already sewing up top spot. I personally can see an upset there (good odds currently)

?

I hold a slim lead in a tipping comp for a good stash of cash. Sensible thing to do is tip favourites. Head over heart. I can deal with giving up the lead if it means we beat them.

I love rachele , but I think him opening his mouth is going to backfire . It’s going to be close . Pear by 11 points .

I dont care as long as he backs it up

Not sure how offending a teams supporters is actually anything like being critical of Powers players/coach/brand upon reflection. So not sure how much motivation it really provides.

Is Kenny going to fire them up pre-game “with how dare these arrogant ##### call our supporters toothless. Yeah I know - even if it’s true”

A bit like last week.

Their midfield better, we are better everywhere else.

We should win.




JHF is a genuine concern. If Port win it will be due to his efforts.

 

[Geoffa32]

If Port lose to us, last week's win against a dishevelled Melbourne will be their final won of 2024.


Can't beat us, they won't beat Freo or any other of the Finalists.

Would be more confident with Walker in the team and Rachele not big talking during the week.
ROB needs to dominate the ruck and the midfield need to win or break even and I think Adelaide win

It’s more that he’s fired there supporters up, crowd will be in it, probably influencing the umps decision (being port home ground )

Form ain’t that good. Winning only 3 out of their last 8 quarters vs non-finalists. And that’s when Swans actually had something to play for

Torn.
Win. Great. Showdown. Fun.
Also lose pick 4, AFL cheats give Saints pick 5 for losing Battle and we end up with pick 6, missing out on one of the top midfield prospects.

Rachele will get booed. He needs to have a big game to quiet them. Or else he looks dumb.

Won't make the Port Boys go any harder at him/us.

Yep ROB needs to repeat last week's effort.

Rachele needs to start becoming a match winner.

Are we getting Draper with pick 4?

 

[1990crow]

No idea. But I'd rather have pick 4 than 6 in this draft as likely that someone slips to 4 who's been touted as possible top 2 for most of the year.

I.e. top end talent mid.
Is that going to be there at 6? I have doubts.

Port gonna put a lot of time into silencing Rach. Meanwhile Ranking runs riot.

 

[119others]

Ok after my piss poor multi last week time to “double up to catch up”

8 legs @ $117-1

15 possessions or more - Keane and Hinge (do lots of kick outs)

20 possessions - JHF, Rankine

2 goals (or more) - Fog, Rachele

3 goals - TT

Crows to win

Edit - add Butters, Houston and Rozee for 25+ possessions and it blows out to 600-1. Worth a lazy $20

General Advice Only

Cant explain as a supporter never confident about my teams winning especially Showdowns, but all week I have been very confident about this game.
Cannot explain why .
So thought try.
Well guess seeing last week ROB actually tap the ball directly to one of our players . ( yes he took some marks too )
Finally got somewhere our best selection with Thillthorpe and Curtin adding marking strength leading and upfront .
No McHenry. --- even dreamt Murphy sub and in same dream seeing Butters And JHF caught holding the ball numerous times.
Sickens me to see Power sitting 2nd as apart from obvious dislike they don't deserve to be there.
Well like Rachelle might have provided KOD but will enjoy until reality might hit .

 

[GrommoT]

I'm sleep reading.

 

[rabidcrow]

We have been underdogs in these for a while now and have won 4 out of 5. Surely Port as second in the ladder beat us this time?
There form has been strong and they have actually been beating top 8 teams this year unlike past years. Port by 28

Port ****ed up in round 8 picking an injured Rozee who was useless

Not the case this time.

That said Hinkley is one of the rare coaches that struggles against Nicks.

Genuine 50/50

Chasing your loses……… gambling responsibly

 

[PAFC66]

If we push to high again and leave space out the back all night you should win comfortably. If we actually approach this game trying to stop your strengths instead of ignoring them like the last few times we've come up against each other we should win but whoknows.

 

[beartoo]

Play to the level we did against the Dogs and we'll piss this in. Go into our shells and play defensively and we lose.
Wonder what instructions our master coach will issue pre game?
