Eddie we did it for you.

 

[Crow till I die]

Good. Off to the sack hinkley thread

Bad. They actually might sack him at years end

Ugly. They might sack him now

 

[Hugh Jass]

Agree that Crouch was great, 2017 Crouch returning would mean one less player we need to recruit. And pay alot for.

 

[GreyCrow]

I kinda imagine this is how you roll after every Crows win lol.

I will be Vince McMahon going for a coffee tomorrow in my Crows shirt

 

[TARANTULA]

The fact that Sloane got more touches in one half as the sub than Pedlar and Jones got in a full game is very concerning.

 

[crowker]

There may have better , though for mine , the best win of the year.

[Mr_Moogle]

Okay so I had other commitments and only caught the last quarter. How did Keane go?

Can't wait to watch the replay tomorrow.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

After a dodgy start Keane showed he belongs.

Nankervis certainly belongs.

 

[dplggr47]

Good: Tex, the great man having a career-best season at 33 years old. It's a Hurculean feat, almost unheard of in league history.

We've now squared the Showdown ledger again.

Bad: Port clearly breaching their duty of care to Aliir. If the AFL is serious about protecting the head, the Powa need a heavy penalty.

Ugly: the hole that will be left when Tex retires.

will be a sad day when he retires. There's no one else like him. That 50m left foot goal was amazing. Can kick them from either foot and from anywhere on the ground.

 

[Southerntakeover]

What a night.

Tex clinching all Australian

 

[GROTTO]

Karma is a bitch.

Can anyone ask how Burton is feeling about us late on Saturday Night?

 

[Mutineer]

Can't wait to watch the replay tomorrow.

Need his sig on a contract pronto.

 

[mr.sheen]

Aliir not even having a head impact assessment and Jones whom he had the head contact with then subbed off for “migraine” is a genuine disgrace and needs to be the big story here. They’ve attempted to blatantly subvert the rules at best and disregarded duty of care to their players at worst. Horrible.

Also tex.

 

[Redleg Crow]

The fact that Sloane got more touches in one half as the sub than Pedlar and Jones got in a full game is very concerning.

Jones seemed to be playing back pocket

 

[Crowman32]

Milera was brilliant tonight.

 

[aabp1978]

Is there anything better than beating the scum? Stuff beating the Poms, stuff beating the kiwis..to beat those feral bastards twice this year is exceptional

 

[Rotayjay]

We need to talk about Tex’s left foot goal in the third quarter.

Honestly, in terms of degree of difficulty, you won’t see a better goal than that. Period.

That was Darren Jarman-esque

Jarman didn't play well in the 1991 grand final, and look at what he did in 1997.

Tex didn't play well in the 2017 grand final. I hope one day he'll play a blinder in another granny.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Have to laugh at Mark Keane in the post match interview

Very... thick accent

I didnt understand one single word he said!..

Of course he hates us, he wanted to play for us and we weren't so keen

 

[Geoffa32]

Nankervis certainly belongs.

Nankervis playing well makes not getting Redman not so bad.

[adelaidecrows]

Good: Crouch, Milera, Dawson, Laird, Keane, Hinge, Worrell, O'Brien, Fogarty and of course the great man WALKER ripped Port apart. The young kids in Michalanney, Nankervis, Soligo all played their part.

Umpiring: credit where credit is due.

Bad: Keays and Murphy

Ugly: Ports blatant and continued manipulation of concussion rules in showdowns.

Good

How great was Keane on his club debut? Charlie only had an impact once he was moved into the ruck. Otherwise, Keane pantsed him.

Tex was immense. He is an all-time great of our club and a Port destroyer.

Dawson is classy out of the middle. Didny need to do as much grunt work.

Crouch and Laird dynamic...worked? You wouldn't want to add a Sloane or Keays into that mix, but perhaps it could work.

Milera was great down back. It's been a bit hot and cold this year but was in our best 3 or 4 today.

Hinge, Max and Worrell all stood up.

Bad

RT was terrible.

Jones had a 'Jones invisible game'. Prone to these every now and then.

Murphy unsighted besides a free from ducking. Anytime he gets the ball inside 50 he looks for someone to tackle him so he can slip it for a free.

Keays had a pretty awful game despite two cheapies.

Ugly

Ports handling of Aliir and Jones.

A migraine? Wtf? If I had a migraine, I would be locked inside a dark room. Not sitting on a bench with bright neon signs and 50k people screaming. Someones accreditation as a doctor needs to be revoked.

Alir not getting a test was a farce.

One thing he hated tonight was body contact.

Two-time Adelaide premiership captain Mark Bickley was frank in his assessment of what Burton had to say.

He believes it is a case of “big brother-little brother” between the Crows and the Power.

“It was interesting how he said both clubs feel the hatred, he’s talking on behalf of Adelaide there, I’ve never heard an Adelaide player say they hate Port Adelaide," Bickley said on SEN SA Breakfast.

“There is a bit of big brother-little brother mentality there.

“Port Adelaide are the little brother, because they came into the competition later and Adelaide Crows are the big brother.

“If he feels like there’s that hate there and that’s how the Port Adelaide Football Club feels, then fair enough."

 

[CrowToon]

Not that I would ever condone an ACLs or other seriousn injuries but some of these forced changes to give opportunities to Nank and Keane and even to let Crouch back in has hopefully become a blessing in disguise. Hopefully Nicks is more willing to go back to the well in future to keep the squad fresh.

It's a bit bad because we now remain in contention for the finals. Would have preferred a cleaner death but a win over the Pear is always worth it


Disdain for concussion by Port.
