Week 6 games

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.

Yeah I'm a little worried about this weeks game vs the saints. We were terrible against Washington and some how pulled out the win but our games against the saints are always hard fought, Brees in the super dome is never easy even though their record at home of late is average. I'm not so confident, have a feeling we're due for a loss but the away picks this week aren't too easy! Edited by JV7

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

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 one bit surprised by today's result. We got out of jail against the redskins a week earlier, we were due for a loss and the saints season was on the line. I'll pretend like it's good to get a loss out of the way haha.

Yeah the falcons turn overs were bad. How many dropped catches as well. It was like they had Vaseline on their hands.

Saints looked much better but I can't see them making up ground especially since they are 1-2 in their division.

Incredibly unlikely they win the division but the 2nd wildcard spot seem pretty open.

Who's looking at better than a 9 win season from (taking out the Packers and Cardinals):

NFC North - Vikings maybe

NFC East - whoever wins, plus Cowboys if they get hot late

NFC south - one of Carolina/Atlanta yes

NFC West - Seahawks capable, Rams possible

With 2 wins the Saints are now tied for the 2nd wildcard spot for wins. Going 7-3 and 9 wins isn't impossible if they start to clean up in the division. I love the wildcard system, it's going to be a good race in the AFC as well. Steelers, Chargers and Jets probably the favourites, but Bills, Browns, Raiders all in contention for a wildcard spot is fun for their fan bases.

Standout win was the Panthers winning in Seattle whilst the standout loss was Seattle losing and as a consequence now having a 2 & 4 record. The Jets are 4 & 1 and the Steelers are now 4 & 2.

Tomorrow's game is a huge game for both the Eagles & the Giants. A win or loss either way means a great deal of significance to the NFC East. Here's that final Panthers drive ...

Pretty impressive win by the panthers, that final drive from Cam shows when his fit and firing, his hard to stop! Don't think Seattle are what they used to be though. Anyone see the colts attempt at a trick play ? Quiet comical haha

Ha the colts play was hilarious. Steelers winning with a 3rd string QB against Arizona is huge. With seattle losing Arizona could've put a huge gap between them and everyone in their division. Green Bay keep on rolling and the vikes played bland but KC played even worse. The screen pass seems to be their only weapon with Charles out for the year.

I was looking at Seattle as they should win, but a div game can throw up surprises and Seattle haven't been great.

I'm torn on who I want to win, I think the niners as I think Seattle will win more games over the year.

Highly doubt the Rams will win more than Seattle and cards but I gotta hope.

I'm staying away from the Bills in a London game with a chance their QB isn't right.

Sea Hawks

Falcons

Vikings

Didn't know that... Hmmm do I change...

Nah stuff it, I'll stay the course. Go Bills!!!

I'm home today so I'll get to watch the game live, really hoping for a close game.

The 49ers look a shadow of their former selves .. their offense just doesn't work at all.

Seattle on the other hand could get on a roll ... next up @ Dallas (minus Romo and probably Bryant) then their bye week followed by 3 games in a row at home (Arizona, San Francisco, Pittsburgh)

That division is far from decided with Arizona coming back to the field a bit ... the Rams have a chance to gain ground too - next 4 ... vs Cleveland, vs 49ers, @ Minnesota and then vs Chicago.

    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
