Local derby for SA

[Dave]

Lucky for Port that they are playing the Crows cause it's the only time they gat anyone to their games.

Today's "crowd" at the Dome was pathetic.

Anyway, once again it shows the closeness of the top 4 and how the Roos and Dees were lucky to even get there.

Yeah, agree. It looks to me that the Roos ran out of luck, which proofs the point that the finals are different from H&A game.

Part of me feels that having 8 teams in the finals doesn't make a clear enough distinction between the teams that perform well over 22 rounds.

I just hope that Port go down next week because they really don't deserve to play in a PF after just scraping into the finals while Adelaide finished top. I know its the way the comp is structured, but really, Port don't deserve to make it past next week.

Thats exactly what I was thinking.

Well, Ricciuto is back, so it will be very interesting. At least the Crows will have somebody who can kick goals.

I reckon Port are a very good chance because Adelaide will be feeling a bit nervous after having lost any home advantage they would have had.

[punter257]

and of course its gonna be a tough game

then the eagles get them, lucky bastards

[NMWBloods]

Wow - first v. eighth this weekend and no advantage for first!

Port are actually well placed to come home with a wet sail!!

[sharpie]

It would be an absolute crime if Port go further than next week. They have been crap all year.

[timbo]

First finals victory away from home gives them 4 september victories in a row for a total of 6 wins from 13 finals. improving.

Crows supporters are packing it about the possibility of losing to Port this Saturday. It should be an awsome game and electric atmosphere. These two teams hate each other more than any other two teams in the comp. As an ex South Aussie and sworn Port hater, I know who I'll be wanting to win.

Port are a real football club. Adelaide are a fake plastic coporate friendly American-style franchise. I will always go for the real sporting club over the created entity. I go for Freo over the Eagles. I go for Port over the Fruit Tingles.

As cocky as Port people are, I begrudgingly respect the way they go about their football. They come with chest puffed out talking themselves up. And can back it up. That is why they are Australia's most successful football club.

I want some of that cnfidence at the Swans one day.

The truth is JF, that you really dont understand South Australian football, especially what the Crows represent for the supporters of the other 9 SANFL teams. Your comments are just bloody annoying because they are so damn wrong.
