NH: Showdown XXVI
We all know Crows fans Port Adelaide fans, we don't get along too well. So with the showdown looming this weekend as a must win game for both clubs i think now is the perfect time for us to forget about a horror week for SA basketball and discuss the big game.
After the Powers humiliation last friday the boys from Alberton will be dying to have a crack at the Crows who equally would like to knock them off.
Port has been dealt a huge blow to it's midfield stocks with Shaun Burgoyne ousted for up to month and the form of serial Showdown pest Josh Carr lower than desired. Also key defender Alipate Carlile will likely miss the game through injury.
The crows take several young up an comers into a game that is usually noted for its hostility and intensity. It will be interesting to see how they stand up to the physicality that Port Adelaide is focusing on bringing to the field this year.
Peter burgoyne returns to the Power side after a two week suspension.
Personally I am a Power supporter and I am hoping for a close game with a big crowd and some real hard footy. My tip is Port by 8.
So who is planning to go to the game?
Who will win?
*and please can we keep the unnecessary abuse and lame personal attacks out of this thread?*
