Rams have switched to white horns on their helmets and it seems a full white blue uniform by the time the new stadium opens.

    AP gone from the Vikes!

    It's difficult to know what is going on ... he's a free agent and the Raiders are interested but the Vikes may want to keep him.

    I'd love him at the Packers even if it was just for a year or so.  Doubt he'd end up at Green Bay though.

    Not if he wants to go back to the Vikes post career ?

    Yeah, good point Gorgo ... moving to a team within a division is often frowned upon but he is 32. 

    Regardless, AP will probably end up in the AFC if he moves.   As always, money talks and at his age he has to take on a good offer if it comes his way.

    Eddie Lacy off to Seattle ... rumour is LeGarrette Blount might be heading to Green Bay.

    AP still hasn't been snapped up but they reckon his price might be too high.

    Without seeing too much of him from all reports atlanta are wrapt with the Poe signing... Think the superbowl broke me, don't have the usually enthusiasm.. Maybe more focused on round 1 next weekend aswell

    Stoked with Whitworth. Also just signed Connor Barwon, FA from the eagles. Was good a few years ago, not so good once they moved hom from OLB to DE.

    In Wade I trust.

    Raiders heading to Vegas ... 2019, maybe 2020.

    Some are saying they should just go now ... interesting to see how their fans will react.  It's a different culture over there so who knows?

    Such a shame, they need to stay in Oakland, I'll always associate the raiders with Oakland.

    Vegas is a strange choice, very interested to see how it works there.

    Romo retires!

    A big media gig awaits (CBS)  I was thinking he might have landed in Houston ... seemed an ideal fit.

    Anyway, he was a more than decent QB who, with an ounce of luck, could have had a fair bit more success - when he finally started to hit his straps, injuries intervened.

     I'm surprised. I thought he would continue with another team.  

    Same as you I thought the Texans would be a good fit.

    Bit surprised about Romo calling it a day but when you think the run of injuries his had the past few seasons & at his age, would it really all worth it to up his family etc & move to another city for a season or 2.. He can retire a cowboy.

    Built up the courage to watch the Superbowl replay during the week. Still don't know how we lost but it's actually given me some closure haha. Can start looking forward to the season ahead

    For those who are interested in watching the replay, here's the edited highlights with the various players & coaches mic'd up ... the link can't be embedded so you'll have to clink on the link & watch on youtube ... 2 months later and I'm still 40/60 on Atlanta blowing it vs the great comeback by New England.

    Having watched it again I do sort of agree that it was more New england the comeback then Atlanta blowing it... My most vivid memory is when Alford pick 6'd Brady, I was losing my mind in the kitchen & my mrs wondering what the big deal was, I remember just yelling "he never throws pick 6's!!! We've got them now" only for it all to come crashing down haha!

     Without watching it again on the day I reckon Atlanta blew it earky giving them a sniff then Pats got confidence and took it. 

     

    Lynch has said he would go to the Pats if he cant get to Oakland.

    Pats with Lynch... sigh...

    2017 schedule released, Rams isn't too bad.

     Can't complain with the Packers schedule either ... our home games are all winnable. 

    We're @ Atlanta in week 2 with other road games at Dallas,  Pittsburgh & Detroit but I relish the games against the good teams.  Helps having Rodgers of course. 

    We've got Seattle at home in week 1 - Lacy might have a bit to prove first up for the Seahawks. 

    The Falcons are at the Patriots in week 7 (SNF) ... that will be interesting.

    Will be an interesting match up early & a rematch of the NFCCG... First game in the new Mercedes-Benz Dome. Relatively happy with the Falcons schedule, last year we had the hardest & look how that turned out. I'd be predicting an 11-5 again or 12-4 but who really knows..

    It's interesting we finish the season with 4 out of our last 5 as divisonal games, that's pretty tough.. I read somewhere another team has the same, not sure if there's more.. Maybe the NFL is trying to keep later season games from becoming junk if teams seasons are over & keep some divisions alive longer in the season

    AP to the Saints ... low salary as well (3.5 mil per year for 2 years) 

    He might give them 1 good year, maybe 2.  At 33, he's nearing the end but because he's been great previously, he might have a bit left.  A new team could be just the tonic.

    Beast-mode should end up at the Raiders and the same scenario applies - however, Lynch is only 31.  Again, 3.5mil per year is not a lot of money by NFL standards.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      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.
