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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
