It seemed like the commentators & the special comments guys didn't know about the rule either - they all seemed suitably bemused when the rules guy came in and said that batting the ball out in those circumstances was an illegal move.

I didn't pick up on it nor did a few people that I spoke to about it today know either - seems it's a "judgement" call but it looked quite blatant to me and the ref was right there to see it.

If the call had have been made in Detroits favour they would have been 1st and a half a yard with 1min 50 odd seconds left to play ... here it is again for those who haven't seen it.

Btw, what's with all the missed field goals? That Jags kicker couldn't hit the side of a barn

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Not that I want to put the jinx on the Falcons but when I got gamepass I got the basic on where you just watch your own sides games.. Anyone know if gamepass releases a playoff package at the end of the year or I can upgrade towards the end of the season ? I think all playoff games are live on 7mate but won't be any good to me if I'm at work and want to watch the game later...

Yeah I have foxtel but don't have IQ so I can't record and watch later, annoying. I'll just have to get the playoffs package IF the Falcons make it, annoying my Christmas holiday gets in the way of watching the last few regular season games as well!! haha Edited by JV7

Yep, the Colts have now won 2 games without Luck and with a 40 year old Matt Hasselbeck.

That division is theirs for the taking - it's really only a matter of the seeding number for them if they're fair dinkum.

The Colts are the anti-Melbourne. They've swallowed all our bad luck.

They dodged Ryan Leaf, tanked for Luck, can't draft any decent talent for the O line or defense but play in such a dumpster fire of a division they still make finals every year.

We are the oldest team in the comp, the Colts stole a historic team from another city. It all makes no sense.

Should've gone Bills or Cardinals, darn it. I thought the Lions turned it around last week, obviously not.

Cincy and Dalton getting it done in a big game might be the story so far, particularly with the Ravens losing again.

Can anyone else see parallels between Denver and Freo?

Are the 4 AFC divisions and the NFC North all decided?

We've got a breakaway group in the tipping comp after today's results - with JV7 leading the way (again)

Seattle winning would have got 2 precious points for me if they hadn't have blown a 24-7 lead - not happy.

As usual there's any number of stories out of this weeks games but Eli marching his team down the field for a game winning TD was a highlight - he's a big occasion player who seems to only show his absolute best when under extreme pressure.

A lot of QB's are good until a certain point and then they fall away but this bloke is a negative splitter. The NFC East is always an interesting division and with Romo out, any of the teams are a chance. It's my favourite division to watch outside of the NFC North.

Agree with you somewhat on the Freo/Denver comparisons and they do seem to have shifted towards being a defense orientated side with Peyton there to "manage" the games - it might just work too. Again, the seedings in the AFC are all important.

Dalton & the Bengals - I'm still going to wait and see with them ... the Ravens are playing poorly and are just leaking far too many points and the Steelers will need to win at San Diego to remain a threat. However, it's hard to see Cinci not winning their division anyway whilst the other 4 divisions you mentioned seem to have already been decided.

Other observations

  • Seattle can't win away from home
  • Atlanta are looking dangerous
  • The Bears aren't tanking
  • The Eagles might be back
  • KC are in allsortsa
  • Arizona look to be the real deal
  • Detroit might be tanking
  • Rodgers ruined his Lambeau record with 2 interceptions
  • New England will probably get the 1 seed
  • The Bills might get a wild-card spot

Average game today until the 4th quarter - that late Vick run was like the Vick of old.

Steelers are now 3 & 2 and hangin' in there.

Detroit look absolutely cooked. Megatron isn't as mega and I agree with Macca they could get the 1 pick. Seattle can't protect Wilson. It seems a lot of offensive lines this year are struggling as well as kickers the vikes tick both those boxes. Matt cassel gets a turn for the 'boys this week. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep up in a division that no one else can establish a consistent few games. Rodgers deliberately threw picks to try and prove he is human. They are the team to beat in the NFC.

The Rams D did ok vs GB, Gurley is a star! Still no receivers and Foles throws dumb passes all too often and usually in the last third of the field.

Ps, Gurley is a star.

That bloke can run. Once he finds a hole he is gone. Reminds me of a young AP.

I'll put my tips in soon enough but I might be tempted to pick the Falcons on Friday - or is it a trap game JV7?

Should be a good game all the same - a lot of the Thursday night games are divisional games so we at least see a fierce match-up despite the players often being a bit off the boil. I can't see why the league can't match up the byes with these games.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
