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

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

Vikings take the lead in the NFC north... What's going on at GB Macca ? Losing to the lions at home! I've all but given up on the Falcons winning the NFC south, just got to see if we can fight it out with the likes of St.Louis, Philly, Seattle and a few other sides log jammed at 4-5 for the wild card spot! Should be a good back half of the season

Packers are struggling ... we're no certainty for a playoff spot. Suddenly the rest of our schedule looks difficult.

Once a team reveals it's weakness in this league, it can suddenly find itself on that losing train. The only consolation is that a number of NFC teams lost as well (Seattle, Eagles, Rams, Saints, Giants et al)

Anyway, 10 road teams have won their games this week (so far) but only cfh managed to pick up the 2 points on offer - even when there's a truckload of road winners we still can't pick 'em!

Vikes just keep on winning. 5 in a row now it's a weird feeling. Our defense is huge. Oakland didn't score in the second half and AP ran for 200 yards. It may only last a week but it's good to be on top. Dunno what is happening at Green Bay Mcarthy isn't calling plays this year I'm not sure if that has much to do with it. The Pats refuse to lose that was a great game. The saints are the most untrustworthy team going around. I think Rob Ryan just got fired as DC. Who is the favourite in the NFC the cardinals or Carolina?

The Panthers will probably get the 1 seed in the NFC the way they are travelling ... if the Vikes can win at home next week then you might start planning for a busy January. That win by Arizona yesterday probably means they'll win the NFC West - they've now got a 3 game break which will be hard to peg back. Who knows in the East?

I'm now looking at the wild-card standings for the Pack :) ... our game is the 8.30am game on 7mate next Monday. It's fair to say that I don't have a great deal of confidence but will Green Bay lose 4 in a row?

Yeah I'd have to agree think the Panthers are the side to beat in the NFC at the moment but I'm still not 100% convinced on them! I'm thinking either GB or Vikes whoever doesn't win the division will get one WC spot.. Hoping the 2 game lead the Falcons hold at the moment could be enough space with a few more wins in the 2nd half of the season to claim the other Edited by JV7

What a weekend of games, still haven't watched Monday night football yet, but the rest was interesting.

Foles has been benched after going 0-14 on passes attempted over 10 yards long.

Keenum is in...

Not sure that will help us.

I'm still on the sack Fisher bandwagon.

Been there long enough, achieved nudda.

Still lose games to sides we shouldn't outside our division, and not just lose them, we get spanked.

Hard to believe we are 3-0 in our div.

Week 11 games ... no fewer than 11 road teams won in week 10.

Is that some sort of record or is it more utterly baffling that the usual suspects here couldn't seem to find 3 road winners amongst that lot? (apart from cfh)

The good news is that there is still a total of 11 "possible" points available ... weeks 13, 15 & 17 are bonus weeks.

Once again the leaderboard in the comp ...

There is talk that Rodgers isn't fully fit and your offensive line is busted up as well. For the vikes I'm worried they build this game up too much. its s bit like our queens birthday game. We seem to pump it up and Collingwood don't really care and always come out and win. It's really our defence vs Rodgers. If we can pressure Rodgers and limit big plays its a start. We then have to score which we struggle to do. I've never seen a 7-2 team have the 3rd worst offense in the league. That's where AP comes in if we can make it a defensive struggle. If Rodgers gets his groove on then it's game over teddy can't slug it out with down field shots. I'm getting nervous already.

The Jags have now won as many games as Indi & the Texans. It might be a case of whoever gets to 8 wins will win the AFC South ... the Colts still have to go Atlanta, Miami & Pittsburgh - even 7 & 9 might get it done.

The AFC South is the new NFC South which was the new NFC West.

Maybe a terrible division isn't so bad, because it means in a couple of years you might have a very competitive division.

The scary thought is Houston winning the division despite being the only team who hasn't spent a top 3 pick on a QB in the last few or so years.

Denver Brockos - no Jeffery for the Bears and does anyone expect Cutler to keep his great form going against the number 1 defense? Plus the Broncos run game will work better with Brocko.

Green Bay - enough is enough. Forget the other 21 players on the field at any one time. Rodgers v Teddy Bridgewater for the division lead. He has to find a way. Would help if Eddie Lacy stopped eating and played though.

KC Chiefs - I like what Andy Reid is cooking, and so does he.

Stupid packers. I was enjoying the view from atop the division albeit for 7 days. Green Bay do what they always do against the vikes. Limit AP, make the QB have to go toe to toe with Rodgers and then win. If Green Bay don't draft or trade for another hall of fame QB then we may have a chance when Rodgers retires.

The Packers certainly brought their A game today ... all round we were very good whereas in previous weeks we've been awful in all 3 phases. Stopping AP was key and once we stopped him, it was a quite academic.

But it's only 1 win and only 1 loss ... both teams are 7 & 3 - there's any number of good teams that have W/L records that are worse.

I'd count Seattle, Dallas, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Indi & the Ravens as good teams who for one reason or another have had average or poor returns this season. Detroit are another team who should have done a lot better.

Dallas might sneak in but they'll need other teams to help them get in. The Eagles are doing their bit to help but Dallas will need the Giants to do the same - and who knows with Washington?

AFL draft tomorrow... Gotta find something else to take an interest in. Can't handle losing to back up QB's week after week

And how about those Panthers? ... 10 & 0 is just remarkable all things considered. They've got a few tough games in their run home but they should get to 13 or 14 wins - and that will probably be enough for the 1 seed.

The Panthers already hold the head to head advantage over the Packers so it's really only Arizona who could challenge them for the top seed ... and the Cardinals host the Packers in week 16.

After an 0-3 start with no confidence against good teams in Green Bay, Arizona and Seattle the Bears have gone 4-3 to now sit 4-6 with all 3 losses (and 2 of the wins) coming by under 3 points and with all 3 games pretty much 1 good play from winning. We had the Vikings on toast, we had the Lions all but done if we had a bit more time and still could've won it in OT and today we had a chance for a 2 point conversion to send it to OT.

It's hard to be too angry given last year was a disaster and this year has been pretty competent. Just a shame because there's was a sneaky shot at a wildcard berth if we could get to 5-5.

    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
