Really ? How is that possible for only 12 minutes of game time to be shown ? I'm confused haha

As we all know the clock keeps ticking at the end of a completed 'inbounds' play (unless there's a time-out) and a team will often use up all their allotted time before snapping the ball (when given that opportunity)

I guess it's feasible but I was still really surprised by the 12 minutes bit though - 4 hours put aside for just 12 minutes of actual game time - that's just wrong :)

Couldn't find the youtube video but have a listen to the reaction of the Seahawks fans in the latest podcast of 'Highly Questionable' (about 15 minutes in) Intolerable cruelty I'd call it but it's hard not to laugh.

    Yeh me too.

    I mean, I knew it didn't amount to much, but was still surprised.

    I remember back in the late 80s or early 90's when Don Lane hosted the ABC's coverage, their match of the week would go for 1 hour... in my memory, it was just play after play, but with the benefit of hindsight and these stats, I guess they showed the entire time the game clock was running.

    Was a great way to watch, with another 30 minutes devoted to highlights from all the other games. And being on the ABC, there were no ads!

    When you watch the short version on game pass which is just each play it goes for about 45 mins iirc.

    I remember seeing something like that stat a couple of years ago. The actual amount of time players play/move in NFL is ridiculously short. The rest of the time is player changes, lining up and getting up out of the pile plus ads/time outs.

    So the draft is coming up. Day one of the draft is a lot of fun with all the trades that go on and the pressure GM's go through whilst on the clock. Another year of hyped up QB's but with my very limited knowledge I wouldn't take either. Winston reads like a johnny football book. I can't believe how much hype was going on with Johnny last year. I got sucked in a bit. My boy Teddy had a horrible pro day and 4 years of game tape were thrown out the window as teams wouldn't touch him. Thank god for that. Mariota doesn't run a pro style offense but everyone keeps saying him and Chip Kelly getting back together would be a match made in heaven. They would have to trade up with maybe Washington. Would you want to trade up and place all bets on Mariota? I dunno it hasn't worked out too well in Washington so far. I'm hoping Minnesota can draft a corner back as all year we really only had one. A Receiver is needed but I would rather stock up on defense. I don't think we are going to ever out gun anyone in our division. anyone else know/hope what they want in the draft?

    Im hoping the falcons can snare Dante Fowler Jnr or Vic Beasley... Both were impressive at the combine. Yeah I find the NFL draft fascinating how sides can draft up on the night etc, makes it a lot more interesting than the AFL one. I think the bucs will take one of winston or mariota having released Mccown they only have Glennon and his no star...

    I didn't mind glennon your right he is no star but I thought he was a better option then mccown. How lucky is mccown? Yeah he shows glimpses of being a ok QB but with the lack of free agent QB's and college QB's mccown gets a deal with Cleveland.

    What's everyones thoughts on Hayne ? Not sure how he'll go, it's a fair challenge. Wonder how he'd go as a kick/punt returner aswell ?

  • Quote

    His 40 yard dash would've had him in the top ten at the combine. He can catch as well. But can he pass protect and read a blitz on either side of the line? It's what he is going to need to do. If he makes the practice squad I'd say that's s massive success.

    That would likely be the final straw. On top of Gore's mooted move to the Eagles & the likely loss of Crabtree to FA, the owner & GM might find themselves strung up from the Golden Gate Bridge

  • Quote

    Gore to Indy, appears to have pulled out of Eagles handshake.

    Jimmy Graham traded to Seahawks... big one.

  • Quote

    What the hell is going on? Graham a Seahawk? Bradford and Foles traded? Chip Kelly will either look like a genius or he will be killed by a lynch mob in Philly. I know he runs his offence differently to others but in two years he has lost Jackson,Mcoy,Maclin and Foles. That's a lot of weapons lost. Seattle just got a lot better. That Super Bowl might've been different if you have graham in the end zone.

  • Quote

    Getting Foles is interesting as my very good mate is an Eagles fan so I follow them closely as well.

  • Quote

    Revis is back at the jets for a lot of guaranteed coin. I still can't work the Foles bradford trade out. Unless philly are going to make a play at mariota in the draft by trading Bradford. The saints signed graham to a 4 year 40m deal last year. Why do they bother with contracts?

    My mate was saying that the he reckons Bradford will be traded on so they get Mariota.

    Interesting times.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
