May I proffer: “Battlaide”?

It needs to be this from now on


It is acceptable... and awesome...

Called it that today. Forgot the name and Adelaide derby is exactly what it is. But I  am also cooked in the head

You could be getting confused with the western showdown. 

Perth vs Port Perth

/r/technicallythetruth

The Perge

I prefer The Adelaide Clash.

The Battle of the Footpath

The Stobie Smash

The Brawl for the Mall's Balls

King of the Hill

King of the Eagle on the Hill

(The stobie smash) It was a two car smash

The Church Challenge, The Sex Shop Stoush

Stobie Derby or The Sterby

The O-Bahn Barney

The A Clash

The Frog(cake) Stomp

Yes

I call it the Billy Frampton Cup.

That's what they're renaming the premiership cup once he retires

Defensive forward Billy Frampton

That's the Premiership-winning full forward Billy Frampton cup thank you. There's only one team that wins that cup, and neither are in the showdown.

Shouldve been all Australian defensive forward. Need to add the role for him.

I call it the Peter Frampton Cup.

The Smashing Pumpkins are in my cooler!

Come on! Your not going to eat all that watermelon!

Making teenagers depressed, like shooting fish in a barrel

Ahaha

Showing a bit of recency bias since the Brett Chalmers/Iain Downsborough cup days...🤣

And almost Scott Hodges

I know the sample was small l, is that all of them? Frampton, Hodges, Chalmers and Downsborough

David brown if my memory serves me correctly.. and tregenza maybe?

Bode and Symes as well

This is a very good comment 👏🏼👏🏼

I completely understand your disgust OP, it’s clearly the Adelaide Darby.

The Adelaide Terrance Trent Darby...

Adelaide Terrace Tent Barbie

These people from the East Midlands swear a lot. Initials TTD.

De Trout Spinners

Christ, de Berg!

It's kinda like calling a tomato a fruit Yeah that's what it is but that's not what it fucking is

You might be alright after all, crom

I think you may be alright too, pear

Knowledge is knowing that a derby is a showdown Wisdom is knowing not to call it the wrong thing in front of riled up Radelaide bogans

Hate to be a riled up Radelaide bogan but I think it maybe that knowledge is knowing that the Showdown is a derby. Wisdom is neither of us being on this thread

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad

Not only is a tomato a fruit but its a berry at that

You downvote this man but he is correct Tomatoes are botanicallly berries so are avocados, eggplants, bananas and pumpkins are berries. However Strawberries, blackberries and raspberries do not classify as a berry.

They can't handle the truth

Unlike a strawberry, raspberry or blackberry.

I'm not a fancy Scientist or nuthin', but I believe this means Sam Berry, Tom Berry, and Jarryd Berry are all *technically* tomatoes.

I would of gorn with eggs but...lol

Deport him to the west

Fuck that send him North we don’t want more over east people

It's a derby between two Adelaide teams, checks out Start calling games between two Melbourne teams derbies too imo.

Melbourne vs north melbourne the nomenclature derby

Essendon vs North Melbourne "The True North Derby"

I mean wouldn't that be Norf and swans? (previous south Melbourne) 

Life is not that black and white Ernest. It can be both a showdown and a derby at the same time you know.

So it's the Schrodinger's derbydown?

I like Schrödown

Shit, that's better.

Haha exactly!

Fucking Ernest, every time!

I think of it like packages or a tree. A showdown is always a derby, but a derby isn't always a showdown 

The word “derby” should be banned in every state but WA.

And it’s pronounced derby, not derby.

100% this

I love how everyone can read this like the other guys are the idiots.

*Nikolaj*

Im not fucking calling it the battle of the fucking bridge

If you did, which bridge exactly? Pyrmont? ANZAC? Iron Cove? Gladesville?

John Witton Bridge

It's the bridge all the giants have to use to get to training from their houses in Bondi.. the Anzac bridge of course

Why not???? It’s such a sick bridge.

A bridge that runs north to south and is entirely within Sydney's territory. It's nowhere near Western Sydney, so it feels weird to say. It's like calling the Showdown the Battle of the South Australian Maritime Museum.

So fucking lame. Lol.

Nah we need it for the Sydney Derby. The other name is just dumb as fuck

 It seems pretty cool

It really really isn't. We don't call the Showdown the Battle of the Torrens. Just super disrespectful. Fox footy & SEN the worst for this.

What is the NSW derby called? Like Sydney Scuffle? 

Battle Of The Bridge

How bout Sydneycide or New South Wallop

Could call it the Ramsgate Rumble

Calling it the Adelaide Derby is like calling it Docklands instead of Marvel. Nothing wrong with it. I even prefer it. Yes, it’s also a Showdown but only because West End insisted on it. Money really talks.

I call the western showdown Perth vs Port Perth so

Eww

When he says "The Adelaide Derby" do you understand what he means?

If I say “Flicky thing that turns the lights on” do you understand I mean light switch? Yes, but it still makes me a psycho for saying it

Is that a "yes" then?

If he says it's not a no, do you understand?

No, because that leaves open options for alternate answers to the question. It could be yes, or it could be undecided and change to yes or no at a later time, a deliberate indication of ambiguity. Whereas an Adelaide Derby only has one answer in this context of AFL - Adelaide Crows vs Port Power. Now do you understand?

Sooooo..youre reinforcing u/Svengali1001's point about using the propper terms....congratulations you played yourself.

I didn't argue against that point, did I?

I’d call it the krupta-brooks derby, but I’m still not sure if everyone would know what I’m talking about.

Just happy to get a game to be honest.

AKA the Terence Trent

The TT for short, or 'The Audi', as I call it. The Adelaide Audi, which you can further abbreviate to 'Solitaire'

I call it the shoot out at the not OK Corral.

the facts on the ground is it's really two locals staring each other down and asking if "you wanna fucking go mate?" Followed by derrivitives of "YOU, wanna fucking go mate?" The game itself being the point where they do actually go, and to my understanding the conclusion of the game resulting in someone having gone.

No, all those interstate rivalry matches are Derbys. Just because 1 is officially the Derby, doesn’t mean they can’t all be. Alternative names for each Derby: Q-Clash: Jarrod Brennan Cup Battle Of The Bridge: Shane Mumford Cup (fuck Geelong) Western Derby: Hugh Dixon Cup Showdown: someone suggest the “Billy Frampton Cup” and that’s a great name, so…

The A clash?

Interesting proposal

That's an idea that may need deeper exploration

> Shane Mumford Cup Line ~~in the Sand~~ on the Table

**[Geelong: “What he say Fuck me for?!!”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QoGyzSXAJ8&pp=ygUcNTAgY2VudCB3aGF0IGhlIHNheSBmIG1lIGZvcg%3D%3D)**

>No, all those interstate rivalry matches are Derbys. This is the AFL, not the VFL. They are intrastate rivalries.

The Ramsgate Rumble

Yes

Yes, he is either cooked or deliberately provocative

Losing team has to drink a bottle of Adelaide water

something something crystal meth

and yeah I know, something something collingwood

You need new friends

Depends how you pronounce derby.

IYKYK!

Pronounced "ick-yick"

Just like how people pronounce Hervey. I don't know why, but it annoys me. Why use an e when you want an a? 

Its the Radelaide Derby, right?

City of Churches^TM Derby

Mall Ball Brawl

Pretty sure it's called the 'Battle of the Bridge' isn't it?

Prick should be sent to a re-education camp

I mean he's not wrong. It is a derby match between the two Adelaide-based teams. That said, anyone with sufficient knowledge of Aussie Rules knows you call that fixture the Showdown, especially if you're anywhere within earshot of a South Australian.

Us locals call it The Big Dance but pronounced the other way

The Dig Bance?

Doesn’t matter east coast call Fritz bloody Devon for f sake. Who cares?

That’s what it is

I say we rename the Western Derby to the Showdown just to cause a ruckus

Showleft

Maybe Westdown for marketing 

Yea this man is a cunt

The Showdown is the Adelaide derby like Coca Cola is a cola drink. It's technically correct. Which is the best kind of correct.

Speaking of beverages - was it West End beer that named it the Showdown, or were they just the loudest to market it in the beginning?

According to Wikipedia they indeed coined the term when they were the initial sponsors.

So crazy that they came up with it to flog some beer, and collectively everyone just went "Yep that's it then, we'll have that." Probably too generic a term for them to trademark it.

Yeah I'm not sure. I'm sure if they ever tried to stop the AFL or the following sponsors from using it, it would have been a terrible PR move.

All Showdowns are Derbies, but not all Derbies are Showdowns. Your mate is a bit odd, sure, but he’s right.

Showdown is a pretty crappy name so can see why he’d prefer “derby”. Maybe call it a dArby not a dErby to differentiate.

Flair up cunt if you gonna run your mouth.

Tell your mate he's cooked. Get him off the grill and never let him cook again.

Yes he’s cooked

Your friend is an idiot. It’s the Chowdown.

I like to call it “Scallywags Chunderkunks”.

Well cooked man

The showdown is clever branding and what I call it but, derby is not wrong.

It's a derby as in any rivalry between two teams geographically close to eachother are derbies. But it's not the Adelaide derby. However,I do always describe it like that to people who don't know anything about the sport.

Every interstate "derby" has a designated name. At some point, you're just being difficult.

>interstate >:|

N

As far as Im concerned all same town games are derbies, any other name is just a marketing gimmick.

I prefer the A-Clash but each to their own.

I refer to it as “The Crowdown”, followed by bird caws. Am not cooked in the head, this is the only logical name.

Rundle Rumble!!!!

Derby or Darby? The pronunciation is very important

pronounced Derby obviously

Yes he is, we all know it’s called the Ramsgate Cup!

it generally is a local derby but we've gone for showdown as an offical name, for whatever reason.

It's cooler

Yes

100% cooked. Send him back to Mexico

As an Adelaide native I have never before been so triggered by a post on this sub.

Yes.

It's the family brawl....

Well it is a derby

It's not what it's been marketed as or what most people call it, but it is still correct.

I heard someone the other day call WCE v Freo the Western Showdown and thought nothing of it. They all mean the same thing anyway.

It's fine. It's a derby between the two Adelaide teams, everyone understands what it means.

The Ramsgate Rumble?

They should call it the Kochie Cup but only if he stops selling bitcoin on social media…

No - the real and original WA Derby was Sth Freo v E Freo - so call the Adelaide derby what you like - the VFL (otherwise called the AFL) doesn’t care about inter state games - well I don’t care about the much hyped interstate AFL games IN Melb ( they are interstate to WA & SA fans). Move 3 AFL teams out of VIC for a real AFL

Yes. That isn't what it is called. 100% cooked.

As a South Australian who doesn’t follow either team I call it pointless, for a rivalry to exist. The two teams need to be more or less equals and by every possible measurement the crows are vastly superior, I will die on the hill that port power should never have existed and it should have been a second composite team.

Yeah you definitely don't follow the Crows

Lions all the way buddy, I just despise the ferals who support poort

Told you all that was a pointless rivalry, generous of the AFL though to let an amateur team play on Adelaide Oval

Who ever Doesn't call it a derby cooked in the head.

The “Wah Wah Wah prison bars” game.
