I'll kick it off from the match preview on Big Footy:

Getting this game called off due to Covid and labelled a draw may be our best chance at not losing...

PS Not many posts on Big Footy at present. Does anyone know of other forums?

I didn't realise we had a 4-1 win/loss record against the Crows at the Adelaide oval. That's excellent. Granted the venue hasn't been around for long but i doubt we have anything close to that kind of record at any other away ground.

Thank you for that. It’s actually an amusing read. ?

I'd love to turn Optus into a fortress. Make the Eagles our biatches.

Crows supporters don't have forums. They are passive and dull minded and don't know any more than to listen to 5AA for all their (extremely limited) football needs.

 

Actually pretty funny. one of my adelaide mates said they are a chance because "we are due for a loss" and "the crowd really gets behind the crows at home games" I think he's got to come up with better reasons than that.

I have a crows supporting mate who's giving them no chance and thinks it could be a blood bath. i hope he's right.

 We were horrific at AAMi park.  Used to lose there by 10 goals a game to both Port and the Crows. It was a graveyard for us even when we were going ok.

Thank god they moved to Adelaide oval.

We ended with a 5-24 record at AAMI and didn't win there after the famous 2001 win.

We're now 6-4 at Adelaide Oval (albeit one of those wins was vs North last year).

Yeah, but so do ours. "Whoo Hoo!"

Edit: Points to the posters who actually get this.

Credit to their opening poster.
A sense of humor goes a long way to getting thru those long lonely years supporting a rubbish team. I approve.

I went to the 2017 Game in Adelaide. When we turned a 30 point deficit into a 40 point win.

That then was when I realized Petracca was going to be a weapon. 

Also an Adelaide member told me we were "B Grade" & that they should "kick us out of the league".

I've said before on here but the crows mate I'm heading over to watch the game with this weekend, he takes great joy in tuning into 5aa when Port looses to hear "the bloody Port Paaawwaa ferals teeing off on each other'... Gees it makes me laugh when I think of him doing that.

Crows will continue to fall away but their supporters should be hopeful.  At round 4 they were 3-1 in 5th position.  They have plenty to work with.

We will blow them off the park though.

Not so sure on para 1. Their wins have been less than spectacular, (discounting the Cats upset in Rd 1) and lossess against even hawks and kangas.  Tomorrow will be a defining game for them list-wise in some ways.

I reckon your 'e spot on though in prediction

We're slow starters, so if they do get s jump on us and the crowd gets pumped up, they could have a 4-5 goal lead if we're off the ball. It would only take another burst of momentum in 3rd and then they defend out of their skins and we lose this one. First quarter is key.

None of our matches against lowly Vic clubs have been the oft repeated danger game, but I do feel an interstate side on their patch is one.

Me too Doug, took the family for a weekend away. Loved the ground, esp. the walk over the bridge across the Torrens at dusk.

Also loved yelling out "how good was that" to Clarry's goal from the top of the (very quiet) grandstand.

yeah they arent world beaters and the 3-1  start was an abberation but they're not a basket case is all I am saying!  Remember last season they were odds on to go winless before they finally broke through.

I would take the Crows list over the Pies or Roos.

that thread is very light on. They don't have too much to say for themselves those crows fans.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
