I said to my daughter this morning reflecting on night, it absolutely felt like a full stadium. That 2nd quarter, the stadium was close to being turned into a deadset riot!Watching the replay now. How good is that 10k crowd.

I must have done it 20 times. Including a sprint down to boundary line when Riewoldt dropped ball 2nd quarter 2m in front of #16 ump. Was one of those nights we have all been cravingHave been to last 3 games at AO. Last week v W.Bulldogs 14,159 sounded like twice that number. Yesterdays game v Richmond (approx.)10000 sounded like five times that number. Headache from yelling. Wasn't me yelling either.
Blokes near me sh*t themselves so many times, literally. Had a quick check after the game and seems they had dropped a bag of fruchocs.
For me, it was the passion of the supporters at the game. Don't think I've been to a game where so many got up out of their seats so many times during the game. All four quarters. Embarrassed when I looked around to still be sitting for the double 50m penalty...lesson learned.
Supporters get up out of their seats when the need is there. This game brought that need. Been a long time since we've seen a game like this.
Can only assume anyone watching the game live but not at AO was doing the same?
Too late for that. 3am Eastern; Midnight Pacific.I normally do a fair bit of complaining about the commentators, being interstate, I have to watch the game on TV.
but I must say, Russell and Maguire yesterday were very good and Roo didn’t make any stupid comments.
still confused about why Richmond were playing at 1600 and not prime time. Trying to cash in on the live feed into the US?
The way Richmond players were continually hard shoving our players into marking packs you''d have to think its something that's coached by Hardwick. So dangerous.

That was the sort of thing Adam Goodes got booed for. At first.
When they shoved Dixon into one of their own and caused a goal AND nearly killed himThe way Richmond players were continually hard shoving our players into making packs you''d have to think its something that's coached by Hardwick. So dangerous.
I reckon the St. Kilda loss was the wake up call we needed - ever since, we've played some astonishing footy. And the scary thing for opposition teams is that we still haven't played the perfect game (goal kicking): if it all clicks, somebody will cop an almighty flogging.And there was me thinking we couldn’t win at home
I am reliably informed by someone on the Crows board that the crowd noise was coming from the PA system at the ground.Watching the game on TV.
We have the most passionate and cutthroat supporters in this sport. I bloody love it.
“Have a listen to this crowd, they are going berserk over there, it’s madness. They’ll tear the place down!” - Eddie McGuire
“I’ve never heard this much noise from a crowd of 10,000. This is exceptional.” - Jason Dunstall
“10k? sounds like 100k! They love their footy the Port Adelaide fanbase, they are a bit like Turkish Delight, You either love em or you don’t really like em at all.” - Dwayne Russell
“I don’t really like them....,Turkish Delight that is.” - Mark Ricciuto
“That’s the problem with Port Adelaide fans in their great beauty, football is way too important.” - Dwayne Russell
The Showdown count is now 24 each - if current form is any indication, we'll be 30+ before they win another one.That’s all they have left. They are dead inside as a football club.
It rarely is for Showdowns, shame we only played one this year though. Talk about another disadvantage over come.The Showdown count is now 24 each - if current form is any indication, we'll be 30+ before they win another one.
He did a particularly dangerous one to Jack Hombsch at the SCG in 2014.
One flog on the Crows board said Port would kill them next showdown this year. How dumb was that. Does not know anything about Football LOLIt rarely is for Showdowns, shame we only played one this year though. Talk about another disadvantage over come.
the umpires let’s the get away with the push in the first so they get going harder until it started getting called
