Opinion Is the Showdown the Biggest Rivalry?

[ClintEastwood]

I think Crows, Port are better off downplaying the rivalry.
They need to compete on field, but combine forces to offset the big Vic club advantages, and interstate academy (especially Sydney) advantages.
Same as Freo, West Coast.

Nah, lean into the rivalry, which is probably the biggest in the AFL.

And cooperate fully behind the scenes, with each other and the other non-Vic clubs, against the scourge that is the AFL.

Well when your birthplace is literally a courtroom

Its like your Dean Brogan impersonation is all an act

Keep leading with your McChins

 

[PowerBaz]

Truth hurts? Your club has form.

Stay classy.

So toughen up and bring some back.

Just don't mention the Ethelton Magpies

They sweep that one under the rug and shut the door

What? The SANFL Magpies. Port Adelaide had no say in that matter.

After the dog act by Houston and the disgusting booing by the crowd, the rivalry will continue.

Dog act?

You exaggerate way so much.

A dog act is the elbow by Bickley on a defenceless Wakelin.

Long proven to be a fake.

But who cares on the internet right?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Will the VFL ever acknowledge this as a ripper of a game and make it stand alone? No - because why would the promote something so good that isn’t Victorian.

You mean like the standalone game this year?

You were created in a courtroom it’s a fact

Regardless of the letter you’ve attached the two clubs united back in what 2012 ? So over a decade ago

This burn isn’t as deep as you think it is hope you can do better but won’t hold my breath

Did you cheer Tex? Was he “incited” into racism ?

What about Tipo ? Were you proud the crows tried to cheat to pay him outside the cap?

Or Bocky when he slapped his Mrs around outside the Havlock

No matter how you slice it or try to pretend otherwise crows fans love to virtue signal to the rest of us while being totally blind to their own backyard

Go check my posts on Tex

Tippett I was embarrassed we did that - and we still employ the clown who kept the email.

But you are as much of a franchise as we are . You dont even care about your Reserves side anymore - all huff and puff

The dog will get 6 and never play for club again. Exaggeration ya reckon?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Nit even a free kick just 3 years ago and you’re calling it a dog act.
Barry Hall and Leigh Mathews were what dog acts are. This is nothing compared to those acts.
Tough bump in a tough game.

Head high bumps have been free kicks for a very long time

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Just free kicks, not suspensions

lol you changed your tune pretty quick, and somehow your still wrong

‘Drakes’ - man, what a dud store.

Gee, some old boomer has too much time on their hands…

Well, since we've established that anybody who lines up a player and bumps them leading to a concussion is a 'dog' ...

Yea but just like racist Tex, cheating the salary cap, fans posting they wish cancer killed Robbie Gray etc etc it’s never THEM or Their players that are bad it ALWAYS someone else who is worse or there are reasons why it’s not fair

The double standards attached to the larger section of that supporter base are mind blowing

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

fans posting they wish cancer killed Robbie Gray etc etc

Lol what? Making up shit again? And I'll just post "etc etc" to make it look like there's an array of incidents - lol.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lol what? Making up shit again?

Apology accepted.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Apology accepted.

"Fans" ?

 

[Cleric]

You’re kidding yourself mate.
Careless maybe. A dog act?

Yeah I’m sure he planned that himself and Rankine would be in that exact spot minutes out from the event and in the split second that preceded it he positioned their body heights at exactly the right spots etc etc and thought ‘I’m going to knock this guy out and get myself suspended for the finals here.’

He could have pulled up, but chose to go through with it. Rankine had marked the ball, and was in a vulnerable position, and he decided to hit him right up the front.
They were targeting Rankine all night, and I have no doubt that's why he chose to flatten him rather than not.

 

[GreyCrow]

Its astounding that some here believe Houston is the victim in all of this

No he couldn’t have, and it doesn’t make it a deliberate attempt to injure or maim regardless and no amount of saying it was, will change that.
