A few Crows fans are hiding in the bouncy castle though.

How can you say that. Just because they only have 1 tooth you are assuming they are Port supporters. :D

Certainly an embarrassing turnout from the Crows, just turned the sound up after that last couple of goals and I reckon I could hear one person clapping. So much for the local showdown or whatever today's match is supposed to represent.

I just couldn't imagine Raven's fans getting down to Alberton. Ány other club had a fair whack of their base turned into fruit loops when the circus came to town, but that wouldn't have happened around Alberton way. I would be surprised if Raven's fans made the trek away from their comfort zones to attend a match in Port's homeland.
Not sure why they'd program this match hours before the AFL Crows are playing a home game. Ridicules the idea of the Ravens being Dinkum in any way shape or form.
I'm gonna sit back, crack the top off a Pale Ale, and watch the Double Blues prevail

Ravens fans won't travel to Alberton because they only know of one footy venue in SA.

Even the coach knows it's a crock of shit. Honesty is the best policy.

To be fair, even the usually sycophantic commentators were gobsmacked

Wow!

I'm at a pub with the game on TV. There's at least 10 crows fans here and not one is taking any notice of the game.

Obviously means so much to them.
Tell them that they should be paying attention. After all, it was their hard nosed, stop at nothing desperation to get included in our competition that won the day in the end. Now they are in they couldn't even be moved to look at a tele that carries the game. Tell them they shouldn't expect us to take the garbage out for them.

Amazingly, that abortion of a football club is still, somehow, finding a way to reach new lows.

That's what I call keeping in the spirit of the "Who cares Cup"! Even the coach couldn't be ****** sticking around to see who won! :lol:

I heard the commentators talk to Ellis Youman about the game and all they could talk about was him and getting back in the crows side.
No mention of the game itself or how they won it! :roll:

after kicking the first 4 goals port were pretty weak. No one in the senior side has to worry about losing their spot.

Listened to ABC radio pre game of the Crows v Essendon game, no score updates from Alberton from what I heard.

Also I think both games crossed over, The SANFL game finishing about 5 mins after the AFL started.
