[Deaneus!]

vs ​

Crows

Power
Ins: unknown
Outs: Scott Thompson, common decency, probably Robbie Gray?

We thought it would never come back!
We hoped it would kill off the shitty Vic clubs!
But here we are, round 2 of the season. We still didn't get the Friday night game because VFL, but hey!!

I'm not sure we're winning this one... I'll wait for the teams.

What do you think?

 

[Tex200]

I’m very sure we’re not winning this one.

Port are a fair way ahead of us, will cook us easily.

Must pump games into Jones, aMcHenry, McAsey, Davis - and a number of others.

How exciting, it's at Adelaide Oval...
This has about as much interest as a pre-season showdown

 

[SaltPeter]

Getting a flogging in a prime time Saturday night slot’s going to be good for lols around here

So the one Showdown this year is a Port home game with no spectators.

Jokes aside, shouldn't this be a shared game. I am guessing none of our sponsors will be shown it will be all Port.

Would be interested to know if Fagan and co tried.to get some.exposure for our sponsors.


Port can have a pregame "entertainment to celebrate their 150th year to appease their supporters. No problem with that.

But we really should be sharing the corporate exposure given games at AO.will be limited this year.

Meh. We get an extra away game at home. Port don't.

I assume all the hub teams will be compensated next year with extra home games they missed out on...in the interest of evenness and all

Showdown is the Foxtel game, while the huge West Coast/Gold Coast clash gets the national free to air coverage.

I didn't really think this was the game to showcase on a Friday night anyway, but lets be honest that's never happening.

 

[pjcrows]

The second of many welcome losses for 2020.

All aboard the Pick 1 train.

There would be considerably more atmosphere and excitement at a preseason showdown in Port Pirie in front of 1,000 people than there will be at this in front of 0 people.

I wonder who's going to wave the scarves around during the INXS love ballad they play at the start of all their home games? Maybe Kochie and the 4 players on the bench will do it?

Will surely go FTA into SA?

I would think so, and that's why it will never be on Channel 7.

It doesn't effect my enjoyment of the game, but having a game nation wide on 7 in front of a million people, with the hour lead in, the half time feature, the post match coverage would have to have a fairly big dollar value, especially if you get that every other week, as both a selling point to sponsors and potential supporters.

When we tank this season can the AFL suspend one of Melbourne's assistant coaches?

Sorry that isn’t clear - you think it will be on 7 SA only? Or not.

 

[AFC3000]

Yeah sorry, never be produced by 7 for a national prime time audience.

I do think we'll get all Crows and Port games on 7 in SA like we always have.

It's a bit confusing, looking at this its FTA into Melbourne metro and SA but no other states.

But it's also not showing the Thursday and Friday nights as 7 games here, so I think the website is messed up.

Selection night should be a treat.

I'm ready for the club to let me down again and pick Mackay and Gibbs

There was a time when this would bother me.

This year I welcome it.

Now that my brain is slowly filtering back to AFL its just occurred to me that there will probably be a lot more Under 18 football played that we originally thought. That is a very good thing considering the picks we will likely have for this draft. Picking on last years form would have been an absolute disaster for our rebuild.

It's been an age since I've seen this fuuuu man, but it's so appropriate for those selections.

 

[JP Sauce]

What's the oldest possible team we can select?
