The Crows have had the upperhand in Showdowns over the past three seasons, the AFL side winning five of the past six – to edge ahead 30-28 all up – and the SANFL team going one better with six from six, to lead 13-10 overall.

While the upturn in the Power’s form in the past fortnight and Adelaide’s disappointing trip to Brisbane have made the AFL game look much more of a toss-up, you might think the SANFL contest would have the Crows as odds-on having won their past two and being fifth, while Port is winless on the bottom.

But it doesn’t work like that in these big contests and the Magpies have been making ground.

They led for much of the game before being pipped by Norwood at The Parade by seven points, midfielder Will Lorenz racking up a stunning 39 possessions. He leads the way in the SANFL this season, averaging 32.

Good result...keeps both Crows and Port in the lower half of table. Were any of the 4000 Crows supporters disappointed?
