SA Footy

Well its on tomorrow and as Port Power are our bitches (13-3 ) and everyone in teal is still going on about last week (its 1 week FFS)...could another SHinboner upset be on the cards?

For the Roos VFL Liston winner last year Aaron Edwards is in, so very much looking forward to seeing him play and provide a target up forward...unfortuantely its at the expense of Matty Campbell, but a forward had to miss for Edwards to be in.

ANy other thoughts?

Yep. The Power are going North Melbourne Kangaroo hunting tomorrow.

Seriously, I will be shocked if we lose.

heres some trivia - who is the only team Port Pwer did not beat in their premiership year?

Is this a brave or stupid thread? Hmmmm

whats the worst that could happen? we lose as predicited but still hold a 77% winning record against them!

The Kangas record over the Power is one of those interesting stats largely driven by the fact that in Port's early days (1997-2001), the Kanagaroos were one of the power teams in the comp (altho even last year the Kangas upset Port at home). The result in the 2005 finals series (Port by plenty in Melbourne) should have buried some of the history. However, Chad Cornes did acknowledge on radio during the week that the Kangas do match up well on them due to their high-quality tagging crew.

Port still have a young side which will be a bit up and down this year so they shouldn't assume tomorrow will be an automatic win even tho I have tipped Port myself.

I no someone will but i wouldnt mind seeing what our recent record is over the last 4 to 5 years. I think we have done ok agaisnt the almighty power!.

Thats a 7-3 record since 2001, still a dominating record I would have thought...many of those since 2001 the Roos have been Underdogs...remmebr Port have been a fair side in this period also...

(by the end of 2002, Kangas had played in finals in 9 of the prev 10 seasons)

Port slowly evening things up Dutchy ....

PS You beat me to it!!

Weve only ever played the Roos 5 times at Footy Park, compared to 13 times away. Of the Roos first 9 wins in a row, only 2 of those matches were played in Adelaide.

The W/L record may be lopsided, but so has the scheduling.

bit of straw clutching there, if you want to analyse that we are still 3-2 at games at AAMI, plus we have a great record at AAMI also against the Crows so we would have loved more here....plus there have only been 7 true "Home" games at our home ground...teh 92 point thumping in your preiership years stands out like a sore thumb

Crows are 8 from 14 against the Kangaroos at AAMI Stadium.

Like with the stats v Port Adelaide, the Kangaroos earned 5 of their 6 wins in the period 1996-2000 when they were arguably the best team in the comp. They have only won at AAMI once since the year 2000, they have lost the last 3 and lost 4 of the last 5.

The Kangaroos accumulated some great stats in their power years, they were arguably the team of the 90s. But things are evening out in recent years and referencing back to a past era is becoming less and less relevant as time goes on.

I am not a Power supporter so can't believe I am defending them like this - but the Power's big loss in the 2004 home and away season pales, I think, against the 87 point loss inflicted on the Kangaroos in the 2005 finals series.

still a great record and while I havent got the stats in front of me I believe the best Non SA team record at the ground....I know what your saying about when we were strong BUT Port were pretty good in recent years and Crows werent bad either in the late 90's, also look at the close losses in 4 of the games against the corws since 2001..I know Ive enjoyed many a win at the ground...and hope to tomorrow, but dont expect to

You've done it now Dutchy, I would have thought a Bays fan would have learnt a lesson from bitch talk after the way South turned things around last year?

I have always respected the Kangaroos as an opponent they always give 110%

Agreed Hondo.
Hey Dutchy, have you read the Jason McCartney book "After Bali"?
They gave them away for free at North's AGM and Ive just finished reading it, awesome read.

Agreed, very moving, I have to find that game on DVD, I'll watch it in an even more awe like way after reading that book.
Probably one of the few AFL games Ive watched in full in the last 10 years.

I saw Jason speak at a work function 2 years ago ... he was articulate, inspiring and great to listen to. He came across as a brave and humble guy and earned everyone's respect (if he needed to do that anyway - prob not). He was even happy to talk footy with a mug like me - spoke openly about the Wayne Carey v Glen Archer situation at the time.
