A maximum crowd of 15,000 will be able to attend the match that stops a state as the Adelaide Crows battle the Port Adelaide Power in the year’s second Showdown. Follow along with one of Australia’s biggest rivalries on The Roar with live scores from 7:40pm (AEST).

The Power have thumped the Crows in each of the last three Showdowns, winning by 49, 75 and 57 points. They will again start heavy favourites in this game.

The Crows are still mathematically in the hunt for finals – but only a statistician could devise a scenario in which they escape the bottom six, let alone make their way to September. Things have been going downhill on-field and off for Matthew Nicks’ team. Their loss to the Western Bulldogs in Round 20 has been compounded by revelations that gun forward Taylor Walker is under an AFL investigation for an alleged racial slur during a SANFL game.

Port, meanwhile, are flying. Wins in six of their last seven games gives them a stranglehold on a top-four spot, but while they’re a game clear of fifth-placed Sydney, they’ll be keen to extend their percentage gap to beyond the current 3.8%.

Walker is the big story heading into this match, the runner-up in the Coleman Medal having been left out of the 22 as speculation continues to build. Young tall Riley Thilthorpe returns at his expense. At the Power, Robbie Gray will be looking to add to his collection of Showdown Medals as he returns from a long injury absence.

The state government have decreed that a quarter-capacity crowd will be permitted at the Adelaide Oval, as South Australia deals with the nationwide COVID-19 outbreak.

Going by recent results, I don’t think any bottom 5 side is tanking.

I'd hate to think we're playing for a selection pick. ------ Why don't we give the priority pick to 15th? That way the worst 4 teams have incentive to at least be the best of the worst 4!

So I was wrong. ----- OK, it's true. ----- Showdowns do deliver ----- The Crows performance in this match is an outlier. We'll be back to our usual next week. ------ Nicks is a good, honest, earnest man ..... in a difficult situation.

Right now the "experts" are predicting a lot of Victorian talent will go early, but I think the truth is that scouts aren't going interstate and the u19 national championships have been postponed. Finn Callaghan from Sandringham is a big-bodied mid. Josh Gibcus from Greater Western is a key defender. Mac Andrew from Dandenong is a ruck/forward. Tyler Sonsie from Eastern Ranges is a small mid. Josh Sinn from Sandringham is a medium defender. The Hawks have plenty of NGA prospective kids, but I have no clue if any are any good or if they will attract a first round bid that Hawthorn can't match.

Who do you have after Horne in the mids that the Hawks will look at. Sonsie is another l think is right up there, can play mid and off the half back. He had a good game for Box Hill when he got a run with them.

Were not the first higher team theyve pushed or actually beaten. And don't get me wrong but i thought they'd bring it but it would only last for a half and we'd win by 24+ but you've got to gibe them credit too i think.

I'd like to sincerely congratulate the crows, after the week they had i fully expected them to come out firing but I thought it would probs only last until half time. Great effort by them and sounds weird considering the positions on the ladder but that was almost finals like pressure, which i think is a good thing for us as you'd rather a hard fought win than a cake walk leading up to finals. Now it'll be Carltons turn next week after the loss to gold coast and the bs they'll cop this week, I expect them to come out with the same effort and endeavour as the crows did this week. Go Port. We Are Port Adelaide. :silly: :silly:
