What a disgrace that Adelaide supporters' greatest day this century is ...

[MeeKrob]

he is at a true club now and not some made up franchise who jumped on some ones bandwagon and still trying to get good crowds at home games

A true club? WHAT? Go talk to Matthew Clarke about the difference between a true club and the Camry Crows.

Good point went over the border to some AFL propped up franchise bit like your SANFL propped up franchise and now he has come to a real club who own the bandwagon your embarrising mob jumped on

As for your first point, you claimed that noone was saying that Port were going to win and I just highlighted that someone infact did.

The insinuation was that Port Adelaide coaches / players / supporters were saying "we've already won it", not "we're going to win it".
Plenty of us said "we're going to win", no-one said "we've already won it".

OMG yeah all football achievements are measured in 8 seasons ???

Just creative accounting to avoid the fact that Port havent been as successful as the AFC.

Just another lame argument.

BTW your last point, Port have won 1 flag and made 1 other GF where they were smashed, besides those 2 achievements what have Port done that Adelaide haven't ??

So what are the other 8 things that would be Port highlights over Adelaide 2 prelim finals losses in 05 and 06 ??? Yeah nothing.

BTW just to totally smash your argument I am sure that 99% of crows supporters best memories from the 2000s was Roo's brownlow win in 2003.

You're right, I only have eight Port Adelaide achievements this century, more important and celebrated more than any Adelaide Crows failures. (in no particular order)

2004 flag (our first)
Making the 2007 GF (not the game itself )
2002 Minor Prem (our first)
2002 Rd 22 win over Brisbane (Roger James kicks the final goal)
2003 Minor Prem
2003 Rd 17 win over Brisbane at the Gabba (Roger James kicks the final point)
2004 Minor Prem
2004 PF win over St Kilda (sensational Junior Burger goal-saving tackle)

Then would come the 2006 Adelaide Crows choke v WC.

So, by the very nature of this thread you know exactly what every Crows supporters greatest day is, but if anyone reverses the situation on you, they are idiots or morons?? You are a droll hypocrite at best... at worst, well I dont need to say, most on this board can already work that out.

I didn't say you were idiots or morons, just my opinion that witnessing and reporting on the joy that Adelaide Crows threads on our GF thrashing were far more animated than any positive Crows stories this century.

Another piece of evidence for the prosecution

" Geelong 5.7 11.13 18.17 24.19 163
Port Adelaide 2.2 4.3 5.5 6.8 44 THATS TRADITION HISTORY IN THE MAKING"

Can you blame him for coming to us? After the humiliation he had to endure as a Power player, who could?

After the humiliation he had to endure on GF day, he should be able to cope with life at the Crows on a daily basis.

In no order

97 flag
98 flag
98 prelim
05 thrashing of your rabble
93 first final win after only 3 years in the comp
98 4/5 wins on the road round 22 to GF
02 win against Melb 2nd final
03 Roos Brownlow

That's great, but 5 of those 8 were last century (refer the thread title) and 05' Showdown final was against us (refer OP)

You rate all of these ahead of our GF loss. Why doesn't it rate on your sig or avatar?

Here are some of ours (in no particular order)
2003 night flag
2003 Roo's brownlow
2005 Dream Final
2005 our first minor premiership
2005 first team ever to win 3 showdowns in one year
2005 Defeating West Coast in round 22 to secure minor premiership

 

[jmorg1]

Have to admit the dream final was especially sweet given the way Port Power were carrying on before that game. Almost identical to the way they were carrying on prior to this year's Grand Final before being humiliated. I guess they just never learn.

 

[jmorg1]

After the humiliation he had to endure on GF day, he should be able to cope with life at the Crows on a daily basis.

Yeah, he won't have to put up with being on the receiving end of a dream final showdown humiliation like Port Power did in 2005 after carrying on like pork chops before the game.

Stop arguing semantics. Ask any non-Port supporter and they will tell you that Port were acting like tossers leading up to the Grand Final and deserved every ounce of humiliation they received on the day.

 

[Angry Dragon]

The perverse thing is that I think they enjoy Port Adelaide losing more than their own team winning.

The Crows fans probably just realise that if their team isn't going to be there: whats the next best thing?

Why it just happens to be Port putting in the funniest performance of their history.

I'm celebrating the fact that Toots has gone missing for a month

If thats a by product of Port losing a GF then yes I will cheer every Port GF loss

Lol, that is truely funny. How goes life for the shamed Port supporters??? Did you feel proud when the final siren went GF day??? OR shamed??? Embarressed and angry??? I am guessing the last 3... that or you are in denial

 

[Orange]

Unfortunately for Port Adelaide that was the single most inept, appalling, embarrassing Grand Final that's ever been staged in the history of Aussie Rules. Millions of people the world over saw it, and most of them said "what the **** is this shit" and turned off the TV.

And the fact that Crows supporters still can't shrug the insinuation that the Port Adelaide GF is their greatest moment this century, will ensure that this thread continues.

Reminds me of something similar with Fremantle.

http://www.perthnow.com.au had a poll a year ago asking - 'Fremantle supporters: What made you feel the best during Fremantle's history?'

And the majority said 'Watching West Coast lose the 2005 AF Grand Final"
