Showdown XXX

[Brodlach]

I have watched Pettigrew play his last two games at Westies and I am suprised he has been selected. Played ok against the dogs but did nothing against North after quarter time.

[LMA]

K.Cornes to amass 38 turnovers for Norwood tomorrow night

[bulldog2004]

K Cornes not released to play for Glenelg according to 5AA. I sense some foxing.

[bulldog2004]

Apparently there is still 10,000 tickets still available for sale.

[The Sleeping Giant]

The Knitting World Championships are on this weekend also, so it will be a hard decision for a lot football supporters in Adelaide.

Port should not get near the crows tomorrow night. Seriously it is fair to say the power are struggling, no Cassisi, Shultz or even possibly K.Cornes, so there experiance and mature bodies missing. Port are really mostly kids at the moment and the Crows should be able to account for them.

It's always close stan...

Port seem to have the upper hand for some reason...?

I heard Neil Craig decided to do a full on game style training session today for 1 hour with 5 injuries coming out of it, bright spark if true!!

Henderson - possible cracked ankle, off in an ambulance
Tambling - possible cracked jaw, off in an ambulance
Seller - severe corky
Walker - belted from pillar to post
Stevens - also belted around & off with a headache..

Wow, thats insane if true.....while port played chess

And sipped tea and ate crumpets.

Not sure how much truth is in that about the crows training, but probably not the best way to prepare for a game with getting a few injuries.

If the crows truely believe they are a finals contender then they should put the Power out tomorrow night without a problem really, regardless of the fact it is a showdown.
Port would struggle to take on Brisbane or the Gold Coast at the moment! I'm not being deliberatly meant to Port I'm just saying in my opinion they are lacking some experiance out there. Pittard, Irons etc are good players but still kids. Boak is good but needs support so not having Cornes or Cassisi out there is not going to help him.
Seriously West Coast are only marginlly better than the power at the moment, it was only last season when it got to a point when I couldnt hardly bear to look!

Port would kill to get the Gorillas that West Coast has. Darling, Q Man, Cox, Kennedy. That's their main problem. Tredders has pulled the pin and while that wasn't too much of a problem when Schultz was sound now that he is gone they are a bit puny up front.

That may be so but still it doesnt take away from the fact that we were very much poo and not out of the poo yet. Still doesnt change my opinion about Saturday night. The crows should win, no matter how many injuries they give themselves at training this week.

I think he's referring to the 'exclusive' Crows/Power boards.

Agreed with many comments here - basically if Adelaide expects to play finals this year then they must beat Port tomorrow night. A loss = pretenders IMO.
