The Showdown

The Showdown is a match between Port Adelaide and Adelaide in the AFL. Its generally held twice a year since 1997 when Port entered the AFL, except for 2020 which was only played once due to COVID.

Name

SA Brewing decided on the Showdown name after they engaged Sydney-based marketing agent Mike De Silva to come up with a “brand” for the AFL’s newest derby in Adelaide in 1997.

Rejecting “Southern Derby”, South Australian De Silva recommended Showdown saying: “We’ve created a Western feel to the theme emulating the showdown between the Earps, Doc Holliday and the Clantons at OK Corral ending a long stand-off period between the law and the outlaw, or The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme.”

The Showdown brand even outlived SA Brewing’s sponsorship of the two AFL clubs, being replaced in 2008 as a match sponsor by Balfours.  And now that there is no local, national nor international commercial sponsor for the Showdown, the derby that divides the state finally has the Adelaide and Port Adelaide football clubs united on delivering good from its grudge match to a charity.
