Who will be better in 2024? Crows or Port?

[Number37]

What’s an 18th man?

Just like 'we fly as one', who the F knows.

We had a 19th man. Are you confused a bit?

Oh it was 19th not 18th man.
Now it makes sense.

You should look at the sides both team have played and a win against Essendon and loss against Fremantle would have made a big difference to both team.......

 

[Schulzenfest]

Well our vastly younger side seems to have your team's measure... & our sanfl side smashed yours this week so you lack quality depth.

Your bottom 4 players should be a concern... & now you have more injuries.

Think it may cost you finals this year.

Why do you keep talking about Port like I don't know Port are shit? I know Port are shit. You seem to think your shit team is good though.

Why do you keep talking about Port like I don't know Port are s**t? I know Port are s**t. You seem to think your s**t team is good though.

You’re talking to a fan base that rates the showdown as a grand final. If they beat port they’re happy.

Chill & have a lie down.

This is a Port v Crows thread.

You commented on the Crows yet get upset when I comment on Port...

I would far prefer to make finals as would most supporters...

Well it does. 18 men on the ground at any one time. Crowd becomes the “19th man” with the noise they make adding pressure to the opponents. It’s not that hard a concept to understand.

Don't be ridiculous.
Surely you don't fall for that nonsense?

Crows fans are elite at making excuses and yet they wonder why their club management does the same thing.

Sounds like a clear admission of cheating to me Jenny. 19 players on the field?

Those are fact, maybe you should look at it to gain some knowledge before posting. Also, I've said our early season form has been self inflicted.

Used by many sporting teams throughout the world as a means to increase the home ground advantage. Pretty clever if you ask me.

Cheering makes your team play better and the opposition play worse.
FMD.

Port… “Woulda. Coulda. Shoulda”.

Just never actually do.

Adelaide will go straight past them.

B grade thumped them. Not one player in their B’s tonight will have an AFL career of any note. Finlayson will come back in… but the depth is utter junk.

Senior side by 30 points.

What a waste of breathe this thread was.

Port's reserves are trash because they don't have a proper coaching panel.
Easier to blame the SANFL than actually look at hiring proper coaches though.

They had the same structure of panel (obviously) different personnel that took them to the 2019 GF.
Their list below player 26 is awful. As soon as injuries hit… they are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

The Crows have got to be the unluckiest team in the last couple of years. Countless losses to us ( going back to 2022 as well ) Dees, Lions last year. That Sydney game where they were robbed. Another close loss to us this year. Endured some hard ship.

The crows having majority votes shows how little the average poster knows about football. Port have won the second most home and away games of any side in comp over the last 4 year block. They lost 1 best 22 player in the offseason and added 3 best 22 players. The crows were never going to flip them on the back of one semi-decent season, they simply don't have the cattle.

Probably something to do with Port having a coaching panel that is bush league quality, and Nicks pulling Hinkley's pants down twice last year.

Under Nicks we have played in 28 games decided by 12 points or less. We have won 9.

Under McRae you’ve played in 29 and won 23.

We’ve had some shit luck with crucial late calls, Dawson high, Keays goal, Draper holding the ball. But we need to stop acting like it’s bad luck why we can’t win these close ones and start preparing better for it.

Collingwood won their finals by 7, 1 and 4 points last year and they got a flag out of it. We need to learn that lesson so that by the time we have the list profile to contend the close games won’t hold us back.

The thread title isn't who will win the most showdowns though

It is statistically, the crowd has been shown to be one of the the biggest factors in home ground advantage
