Aaaand some sanity in the NFL again.

Broncos and Patriots against current good opposition manage to roll them handsomely. Saints win, albeit luckily. Chargers humiliate Jets... San Francisco beat Chiefs... All is well in football again.

Just looking now at the best records in the NFL. Only Philly, Dallas and Chargers are on 4-1.... And I gotta say the Eagles, while ahead on divisional record in the NFC East, might be the third best side in their own division. What a hopelessly mediocre game. Right now it's only luck and special teams keeping their heads above water... And their schedule:

Giants @Cards @Texans Panthers... Yikes. Could easily lose all four on current form.

Meanwhile Cowboys have:

@Seahawks then all home games....Giants Skins Cards

 

Can someone please tell me why I didn't choose a decent NFL team.. I was sucked in by the falcons fluke 2012 season. I started following NFL to escape the frustration and anger that comes with following melbourne.. Is it too late to find a new team ?

Depends who you're jumping ship to... lol

 

Wow the jets are in a deep hole. Just no offense at all. The bills baby! I enjoy seeing them win. Seriously who could dislike Buffalo? Detroit couldn't kick a FG all day. With Chicago and the vikes losing as well Green Bay must be smiling. I still think San Fran won't make the playoffs. Just a hunch though. Bloody Dallas find a way to win. It's hard to admit but they are a little under rated. I hope Philly can put them back where they belong. Is Peyton the best regular season QB of all time?

The good thing about the NFL is it can turn around very quickly. You have talent in Atlanta. You also have injuries. Keep the faith and always remember you could be following the jets and demons. That is a deadly cocktail of sport right there.


Still no points to allocate in the tipping comp (otherwise known as ... "Intolerable Cruelty" - the sequel) Cinci put most of us out.

No change in the points tally ...

1 - Dappa Dan

0 - Anyone who can still be bothered.

Week 6 games - can someone please tip 3 winners? Otherwise we might have to make it the home teams for a week!! It does look a little easier next week, all the same.

No real surprises in today's games and Dappa summed up things quite well in the above post ... as for tomorrow's game, I give Washington a sneaky chance but Seattle should be too strong ... Seahawks 31 Washington 24.

After watching quite an average Rams v Eagles game I'm hoping today's is better.

Eagles special teams and defence were decent, their offence average with Foley throwing some stupid passes (half which came off).

For us, I think they tried to up the offence early and Davis didn't do great, but in the last quarter and s bit where we went to a more simplified game plan we stack on 21 unopposed points. In he last 2 mins Pettis dropped to catches that were first downs and we lose by 6. Didn't deserve to win, but could have stolen it.

We miss Long.

Oh joy, the niners on MNF.

I hate sport.

Why do I continually follow clubs that disappoint me on a weekly basis.

Melbourne...fukked, season over round one

Rams... Fukked, season over round four

Bolton... Fukked, season over from round one, manager already sacked, we then lose to a ten man team who had a player sent of 30 mins into the game FFS.

 

Baltimore

Denver

San Diego

Week 6 tips ...

Denver

San Diego

San Francisco

Anyone not tipping:

Denver

San Diego (always classy)

Can't settle on a third tip. Can't go against my Browns (AFC team, getting on the bandwagon early) after they came through for me last week, can't tip NE, Baltimore or SF and I don't want to ruin Thursday night football!

Green Bay (if I jinx them it's still a win!)

Indy

Green Bay

Denver

Davis was all over Foles in that game. Eagles very lucky to be where they are at the moment. The hype is correct in this case. I think if they're gonna get back to steady the ship it basically HAS to be the Pass rushers, Cole, Graham and Curry picking up. I can't see improvement anywhere else.

Oops. Forgot to do my picks for this week before TNF...

I'm gonna go the safe options.

Patriots, Packers and Broncos.

JJ watt has more TD's then megatron.

Your special teams have been amazing tho.


Once again, the TV games ... I like Buffalo at home and the Eagles/Giants game could be a barnburner.

Monday

4.00am - 10.30am RedZone (ESPN)

7.25am Washington at Arizona (7mate)

Which makes the rest of the NFC East breathe a big sigh of relief. There's no way they're gonna keep running in 2 TDs a week cos of special teams play.

JJ watt has more TD's then megatron.

If he continues his current form I hope he wins MVP. We've seen what Peyton does. Russ Wilson is having a solid year and plays well in big moments but he hasn't been exceptional. Rivers has but he's a gifted experienced pocket passer doing his thing. It's nothing knew. And of course we've seen players like Watt before but it's time for him to win the MVP, especially considering how bad Houston are when he's not involved.

Who picks the 7mate games. NE at Buffalo, good call, should be somewhat close if Buffalo can bring their defense and all that was wrong with the Pats offense isn't fixed in a week, plus it's a divisional contest.

But Washington at Arizona is the worst of the 3 games I think. Chicago at Atlanta would be interesting to see who keeps their season alive and Dallas v Seattle is clearly the pick of the 3 later games.

GMMM... Good point, however, they USUALLY put on Denver. And as much as they're like the Hawks of the NFL.... a good advertisement for the game... I'm dead set bored of them.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
