Of the 200,000 tickets available for the last 4 Showdowns only 9,000 were not sold. The game at the gate is alive! ;D

AFL's programming of this fantastic rivalry has taken the gloss off it >:(
4:10pm on a Sunday is just :P

Balfours are a fantastic and iconic SA sponsor (only time I like hearing donuts associated with AFL ;)) but even they are surely suffering from crappy programming.

Scheduling the games to be more 50/50 crowds rather than one particular home audience is a way I think the game could demand again the spectacle it deserves.
Its 15 v 13 in Ports favour right now,let's make it 15 v 14 in Showdown 29 tomorrow Crow boys.
GO CROWS!!!

Huge game for both clubs for different reasons. I'll be paying attention!

McRooster

Bock had better have the game of his life, for two reasons.
1. Helping the Crows win, of course.
2. Making up for the omission of Phil Davis >:(

West Coast doing the right thing by the Crows so far in the west over Carlton ;D

Spoke too soon :P

Crows fate should only be decided on their own winning form not the losing of others, but good to see Bombers get up and Go Pies next week ;)

I honestly think that Port can beat the Crows i just think Showdown two big outs for Adelaide and alot of ins for port, Port Would want to ruin Adelaides run?

Yeah, you could be right Rob. But I think Port have lacked direction since that 1 day in September 2007 (yeah, I seriously think that still hurts), so I'm questioning Port's ability to have a single focus for any game!

Yeah i think your right ossie, but i slapped them in a multi with the bulldogs -22.5 so come on port lol.

McRooster

Very surprised they didn't bring in out of form Chad Cornes. The man is a Showdown specialist!
Watch out for Josh Carr and his final game, there could be a few out for the Crows next week because of fractures and suspensions due to this champion little menace.

What I don't get though with Primus, is why pick an out of form Carr to say goodbye to and probably doesn't help you win the game, and not pick the Showdown specialist Chad? Surely I'd be trying to win every game I could whilst on coaching work experience....

Should be a game today to rival the first one and the barney between Rod Jamieson and Scott Cummings.
At least this fight will last longer than Danny Greens ;)

Come on port $600 but its port so they will prolly stuff up 2nd half.
