The Showdown is the best rivalry in the AFL. Rain or shine, the fans show up. There’s a cultural divide between both supporter bases. It’s played at the best stadium in the country and most importantly, the games deliver more often than not. #aflcrowsport #AFL

How McAdam’s bump is worse that Kozzie’s is beyond me He chose to bump instead of tackle land that’s not on, but he also dispossessed the player with the ball. Kozzie was late, left the ground, launching at a defenceless player who had already got rid of the footy.
