Port Adelaide defender Darcy Byrne-Jones openly admits to his dislike of AFL rivals Adelaide ahead of their Saturday night clash.
Port Adelaide's Darcy Byrne-Jones insists it's nothing personal - he just hates the Crows.
And Byrne-Jones says the latest clash of South Australia's AFL foes isn't diluted by both clubs being finals also-rans.
"Obviously there is a big rivalry there," Byrne-Jones told reporters on Thursday.
"Personally, I don't hold anything against them as people. But as a club, I don't really like their club - it's a pretty simple answer."
Port meet the Crows on Saturday night at Adelaide Oval with the fixture holding double-meaning for Byrne-Jones.
One, beat the Power's arch rivals.
And two, send Port champion Robbie Gray into retirement on a winning note.
"It (Gray's last AFL game) adds a little bit more pressure ... obviously you want to win more," Byrne-Jones said.
"But you have still got to stick to the processes of how you're actually going to win.
"So winning contested ball, outnumbering, things that make us play well that is what we have got to focus on and that's the best way to ensure that we send off Robbie in the right way."
Byrne-Jones will play his 150th AFL game on Saturday night with his personal milestone overshadowed by the pending retirement of Gray, a triple club champion and four-time All Australian.
"I get the privilege to play a milestone game in Robbie's last ever game," he said.
Port (11th, nine wins) and Adelaide (14th, eight wins) will both miss the finals no matter the result on Saturday night.
