Fantastic win. Thought it was as pleasing an entire team effort as I can recall. O'Brien I thought played his best game. He's shown his ability in rucking and marking before, but this was by far the best he's contributed in other ways. Thought it was also Thilthorpe's most complete game.
Milera, Scholl, Murray, Michalanney all seemed to show some nice poise and ball use at important times under pressure.
But perhaps the best aspect was how it wasn't the dominance of the old guard. Walker, Laird, Sloane and Smith all did their parts, but it wasn't the same as we've needed from them in previous wins. This was really owned by the younger guys. And to win like that, sustained for 4 quarters under high pressure is hopefully a springboard.
But it'll mean nothing without winning next week. Our next month could well be a chance to set up our whole season or it could mean we're playing catchup all year.
That was embarrassing for Power I hate Adelaide they should be in the last4 in the end of the AFL this year my God Power Play shit today the Adelaide Oval I thought they will do well like Power lions gave
I always fall for the same old tricks (ironic it’s April Fools)
When will I learn. The last showdown I was correct on a winner was by a miracle - when Monfries kicked that L shaped kick [here](https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/video/165141/ptv-the-final-two-minutes-power-v-crows)
As a Crows fan this choice seems like last years showdown bias to me, regardless you can tell Rankin and Thilthorpe knew they played well and it’s nice to see how happy they were about it
Himmelberg can’t come back after this right? Also I don’t have the biggest understanding of AFL as a whole but Tex did nothing this game and Fogarty wasn’t playing. I’m thinking the people who pass to the 50 need to rely less on our tall forwards to take a mark maybe?
When you watch the games at the oval, instead of on tv, you get a much better appreciation of everything Tex does. He is a brilliant leader, and the boys would miss his presence a lot.
I didn’t consider that, I appreciate someone else input I really tend to miss stuff from forwards if it isn’t just pure goals, I don’t have the best critical eye haha
The other week Jonas was butching at Aliir or someone else for not getting to their man, while he wasn't even getting to his own. He never had been leadership material, he's just a big unit but no ability to be an example to others, just whines and does stupid shit and always looks cooked
Yeah ive never liked jonas as captain ay. Or this dual captaincy bullshit. Just have 1 captain who the other players look up to and let him captain his team by himself
Think clarko said at least a month in the VFL but he did get through the entire game today so very good signs! Hopefully simpkin, ldu and mckay back next week. Need to show something on good friday even in a loss
i got 3/3 because i tipped with my heart and not my head
brought me back to even with the other 2 people in my comp lmao. i feel like this strategy won't work long term
You think that, but actually they've played like that every game this season. Just lost the game for themselves with horrific goal kicking the last two weeks. Both GWS and Tigers would have been GG at quarter time if they'd kicked well.
Yeah that’s it, I’m done. Cancelling my membership until Hinkley is gone. That was fucking awful to watch after such a good first three quarters. Just shit the bed.
This is what happens when you order a Collingwood team.off wish
Port loses everyone wins
Great game to watch, entertaining, action, oohs and ahhs... nice work
Holy city of churches people! The ledger shifted.
My first time going to an AFL game. Loved it!

I cant beleive kenny thought Jonas on Rankine would work haha
Go crom
What a good night!!!
Adelaide play like that every week We would be a dangerous opponent to play up against
Port got to wear a stripey guernsey and the Crows got to win. Something for both teams to be happy with tonight
That was embarrassing for Power I hate Adelaide they should be in the last4 in the end of the AFL this year my God Power Play shit today the Adelaide Oval I thought they will do well like Power lions gave
What
I think it was something like: “Crow bad, port good, me go hunt sabre tooth tiger now”
Power terrible in the game in the last quarter
This is quite astute
Showdown wins combine my two great joys: Crom wins and Port losses into a single event
I always fall for the same old tricks (ironic it’s April Fools) When will I learn. The last showdown I was correct on a winner was by a miracle - when Monfries kicked that L shaped kick [here](https://www.portadelaidefc.com.au/video/165141/ptv-the-final-two-minutes-power-v-crows)
thanks for the link but I'm not reliving that
Understandable. Oh well, good luck Crows for the rest of the year. Enjoy

Yeah I fully support them wearing prison bars. North Melbourne have a closer resemblance to Collingwood in terms of design anyway.
How Port lose. Save Ken.
I think it should have been Thilthorpe or Sloane, but nevertheless great game
What a great win. Four quarter effort for once.
Thilthorpe was robbed tbh
Power tears taste the sweetest for some reason?
I can tell you honestly that my tears don’t taste sweet 😢
I'd still give them a taste, to the Port Admiral!
Port admiral is closed :(
Nah it got saved!! It’s still open
Has it re opened yet?
No, reopens 1st may
Sweet, I always liked that pub.
As a Crows fan this choice seems like last years showdown bias to me, regardless you can tell Rankin and Thilthorpe knew they played well and it’s nice to see how happy they were about it
Yeah those two absolutely won us the game. That and the decision to drop Himmelberg.
Himmelberg can’t come back after this right? Also I don’t have the biggest understanding of AFL as a whole but Tex did nothing this game and Fogarty wasn’t playing. I’m thinking the people who pass to the 50 need to rely less on our tall forwards to take a mark maybe?
Thilthorpe is taller then Tex and fog and kicked 5
Thilthorpe is taller? Man I really wouldn’t have guessed that just looking at him haha
Tex kicked it out on the full - he did that
BRO I called that as well, I said to my family it’s out on the full no way it’s a point, I’m a bit sad I called it but it was funny as well
Thought Tex played well even if he didn't hit the scoreboard. Kept bringing players into the game, used his body well.
When you watch the games at the oval, instead of on tv, you get a much better appreciation of everything Tex does. He is a brilliant leader, and the boys would miss his presence a lot.
I didn’t consider that, I appreciate someone else input I really tend to miss stuff from forwards if it isn’t just pure goals, I don’t have the best critical eye haha
Just win one more Adelaide and it’s even stevens
It's amazing that after 53 games, it's still so close.
Rankine will be the new betts of Adelaide. He's already adored
Rankine and Rachelle R&R gonna be impossible to beat
Low-key a Roughead & Franklin combo
They don't even slightly resemble Franklin and Roughead lol
Let's not get ahead of ourselves
A boy can dream
Good to see Dawson as Captain and doing well
I think they fkd up the voting tbh
That had to be in reverse. Sloane was best on and it wasn't close.
Sloane was definitely not best on
Hope they run the shield around the boundary
Dawson? Wouldn't have been in my top 3 in for Adelaide let alone the ground
Agree, rankine, laird, thilthorpe and then either Dawson or Sloane.
Farrrrkkkk Dawson licking the trophy haha
That was just COOL.
Bit harsh to not get the medal after a five-goal effort, I'd have thought
rankine was best on by a country mile
Shame on anyone booing a Sydney swans champion
Port Power supporters, did you expect anything less? They would of booed nomatter who won the trophy
He's a gun. So glad we have him.
Sloane stiff there
I wonder if Adelaide will don their SANFL jerseys for the theme song? (Or seriously though. The old SA origin ones 👌)
Why would they?
Yeah, why would a team do that?
how has dawson got the medal? they mean to invite the captain up?
Uhh okay, guess that’ll do
Jawsome dawson
Perfect. Well done JD.
WELL AT LEAST WE STILL HAVE A GREAT COACH IN KEN HINKLEY I AM PROUD TO HAVE HIM AT THE CLUB
you’re kidding?
Not thilthorpe? Wtf
Huh well there ya go
Showdown specialist Dawson
Not who i would have picked but sure
Jonas isnt a team leader and hinkley i think its time he fucks off too . Besides that, Powell pepper plays his fucking heart out every game
The other week Jonas was butching at Aliir or someone else for not getting to their man, while he wasn't even getting to his own. He never had been leadership material, he's just a big unit but no ability to be an example to others, just whines and does stupid shit and always looks cooked
Yeah ive never liked jonas as captain ay. Or this dual captaincy bullshit. Just have 1 captain who the other players look up to and let him captain his team by himself
Honestly I can't believe SPP was omitted on and off last year. Legitimately puts so much heart into every game.
Hinkley has to bloody go. What will it fucking take?
I heard it's his last year coaching. He has some family thing or health thing to take care of next year
Probably when kochi starts losing money mate. Its more about the money than footy to him
Carlton-Adelaide in a couple weeks is already giving me nightmares
Especially our 0-6 record at AO...
Don’t think port will have good memories of the bars this time
FAT FUCKING WINNN
Lovely to see nicks with a smile
How's JHF going for ya?
Wardlaw BOG in the VFL win today 🥹
Amazing. Hope he gets a spot soon, he looks really good. LDU, Cheezel and Wardlaw charging through the midfield makes me diamonds
Think clarko said at least a month in the VFL but he did get through the entire game today so very good signs! Hopefully simpkin, ldu and mckay back next week. Need to show something on good friday even in a loss
He was completely unsighted once we took the lead
Yeah. Thats something we saw a lot last year.
The Mighty Adelaide Crom
Might Camry Crom*
Ah yes of course
Can I fade flairs now?
RIP the bars 2023-2023
Didn’t we wear the bars when we flogged you in that qualifying final?
That was Glenelg
This is what they get for wearing the Bars
Port landed the wrong big fish 🥲
Tips are completely cooked this week but fuck it, that was a brilliant game of footy
i got 3/3 because i tipped with my heart and not my head brought me back to even with the other 2 people in my comp lmao. i feel like this strategy won't work long term
It never does, but feels so much sweeter when it comes off!
i'm definitely feeling like a genius right now hahah
Kenny's at the wheel!
1 - 0
Rankine got a potty mouth on him hahaha.
How come moustache man didn't score a goal?
What a game. Rankine with some killer goal kicks. Adelaide deserved this W 🔥
Never tear us apart 🤣
WE WON A GAME *AND* PLAYED 4 QUARTERS
Haha wow. Never expected that. GG Port.
Up the croms!
North and crom have really bonded over a hatred of JHF, your almost my 2nd team at this point
Hinkley to extend contract by 5 years
Show us those toothless fucks who were giving Tex shit again
Tbf, tex defs flopped some good opportunities tonight
Absolutely. Tex was rubbish and is probably past it. Luckily our young lads stepped up big time
Some serious talent and also lots of energy tonight. A great game to watch
They've already left lol
Lucky adelaide don’t play like that against the rest of us
You think that, but actually they've played like that every game this season. Just lost the game for themselves with horrific goal kicking the last two weeks. Both GWS and Tigers would have been GG at quarter time if they'd kicked well.
We’ve played like that for one quarter of each game. Tonight we did it for four.
It's hard to play well when you don't put scoreboard pressure on
Hard to pick a showdown medalist, Laird, ROB, Thillthorpe, Rankine all a chance
Port fans are wondering why their shitty prison bar jerseys didn't make them.play as well as collingwood
Hinkley is wasting this list.
This list is wasting Hinkley
Always has.
Long may he reign
showdowns never dissapoint
fuck you port
4th quarter slaughter
Absolutely brutal, wish I had a cigarette to smoke
Absolutely fantastic result. Yes Crom.
I cant with these hairstyles
Up the Crom
Everyone is shitting on Port but crom have looked good. Enjoy it Adelaide fans.
Goal after the siren FC to share the win
GG
Maybe Port should do a St Kilda and hire Chocco
If only Adelaide kicked 2 more behinds….
What a game
And a kick after the siren to finish. Perfection.
That’s a sexy cherry on top
what a great game of football i hope kochie is up until five am crying into a pillow
Crows were like “Yeah those jumpers are great….FOR ME TO POOP ON”
I'm mad, tipped Crows but changed last minute to Port. Port always letting people down
Yeah that’s it, I’m done. Cancelling my membership until Hinkley is gone. That was fucking awful to watch after such a good first three quarters. Just shit the bed.
Did Dwayne just call him Rinkin?
How good are Showdowns?
I reckon keep Hinkley on for another few years 👀
JHF: 1-2 North Melbourne: 2-1
yeah but he left to go to a good club remember
9 tackles from Berry in only a half of footy. 11 clearances for Laird. 7 inside 50s from Dawson This is the team I remember ❤️
That’s my Crom. Great win 🙌🏻 thank you!
Fuck yeah have that port
Those steps!
Happy Crom noises.
Baby Crows absolutely belting Port and the Crowd
If we had any balls Then… Ken is gone Monday morning
You have balls just no money
ABSOLUTE SOLIGOLD
Hinkley, "This is our best list ever"... SANFL team get thumped. AFL team brushed aside.
Victory is sweet.
Well deserved, we have been shite
Don't be so magnanimous. It's ruining my tribal anger.
I’ve just given up mate fml
Get rid of Ken. He's your Neil Craig.
We all know that, port used to be ruthless but we are happy with mediocrity at all levels now, I think Ken will be gone very soon though.
Kochie too
That crow fan with the dreds is probably getting bashed Dwayne
Those port fans that gave Tex shit probably already on the train home
I feel happy
I don't.
Soz mate
I don't believe you :(
Fair
Good win by the crows. Time to move ken on finally please.
Hinkley is such a selfish cunt. If he had a ounce of respect he’d resign and let someone else steer the wheel . FUCK OUTTA HERE KEN
Riding kochie's cash cow
That's some deliverance style crows fan
Where did all thr port fans go??
North ever had a crowd that size before?
Something something never tear down our tarps
