    Interesting to see how he will go.

    Rams surprised me a bit with no OL butthen they signed some via un drafted.

    It's cable for me JV (since the mid 90's) but more specifically, ESPN.  Redzone, Sportscenter, NFL Primetime and all the associated shows fulfill my needs.  SNF & MNF are also on the must watch list ... I'm hangin' out for the season to start.  Redzone especially is great.

    I pay about $60 per month (HD & IQ) but I get a stack of other sports and other stuff so I see cable as fantastic value.  I'm not sure I could cope without it.

    What do you get for the game pass?  Every game? What's the picture like when fed through to the telly?

    Yeah I've got foxtel at home it's just I can't watch every falcons game but getting up towards $300 is getting a bit pricey... Gamepass gives you every game, condensed or coaches film etc & then you get NFL network & all the football docos like A Football Life etc plus any game over the last 6 or 7 years... But I just find it hard to get the time to watch it all to make it worthwhile. The stream to the TV is perfect 99% of the time

    I reckon it's pretty dodgy. If you try to get out of it, it takes a big effort. I'm flush with cash this year, so will go again... but I'm only a few small paydays away from getting rid of it.

    Yeah definetly not easy to unsubscribe, I tried to turn off my auto renew & there is no way to do it unless you email them... One of my colleagues said he'll go halves so that makes it doable

    Yeah it's ridiculous. And it doesn't even work that well.

    It's strange to be this close to the season and not hanging out for the season to start. 

    Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to the year ahead (Rams will be poor tho ) but with the Dees dont well I'm not as keen for theNFL to start ?

    NFL for me has become one of my favourite sports to watch (as a whole) ... it's right up there with Test Cricket but It's probably the only sport (NFL) where I have a really keen interest from week 1 to the Super Bowl. 

    Most other sports I tune in and out of or the interest is primarily the finals/playoffs or major events like the Olympics/Tour de France or Golf & Tennis majors.

    The big impact with the NFL is how things can change dramatically from week-to-week.  The division/conference/playoff set-up is second to none with regards to maintaining interest and there are just a stack of storylines (and that's week to week as well) 

    It's a sport where it's so much more than just about your own team (well, that's how I view the sport anyway)

     Me too. I'm happy to watch any game and whilst I follow the rams I'm reading/ watching other teams through out the season. Don't do that for any other sport other than AFL.

    100% agree Macca, easily become my 2nd favorite sport. Spewing I only jumped on 4 years ago, missed out on a few years!

    Thanks for that link at bottom:(... Training camp started today & I'd thought that would close the chapter on that horrible day.

    It's funny in our game it's always "you got to lose one to win one" yet in the NFL the losing SB side is always bound for a "hangover" and history backs it up. In some ways it's easier to win one in the NFL, be the best of 4 sides & make the playoffs and anything can happen yet it's so hard in different ways. In AFL sides until last year had to finish top 4 for a genuine shot but get a double chance..

    Hearing Goff talk about how mucj bettet he feels this preseason is good but I'm fearing he will be a bust.

    I really can't justify the game pass. Was on it for a while and then when they had the option of only getting your team's games I did that but it's just too much now.

    For those without cable or a game pass the Seven Network will be covering 3 live games again on Monday's (our time) ... and that includes SNF.  That agreement is for the 2018/19 season as well.

    There's a decent line-up of Thursday night games again this season ... the Pats & KC kick off the season on Sept 7th (Friday 8th our time) and here's the full line-up of Thursday night games.

    Yeah. This will be my last season on it. It's pretty absurd. My whole fantasy league is over it.

    Speaking of fantasy league... Anyone?

    Hey welcome to the club JV.

    Now that you're a fan, do you see things the NFL does well that the AFL can institute? The gap between them and us is really what guys like Hutchy are at the forefront of.

    I do think we are way back in terms of the broadcast & the use of technology... In the NFL they can see if a ball is caught or hit the ground down to the last millimeter (as much as I don't want to relive it but that catch by Edelman in the SB) yet over here the score review system is pathetic, a pixelated shot from miles away to see if it hit the post or was touched of the boot, I'm sure with the billion dollar TV rights they could come up with something better than what we have now. 

    When I first started watching I was staggered to find out there is up to a 4 year gap between playing sides but the more I've watched and learnt from more I understand & obviously with a 32 team comp it's the only way around it. I still do find it strange how the 2 best teams could be in the same conference so the 2 best sides don't always make the SB but guess you get the conference championship game for that.. I do like the divison set up though, as I've stated before it gives supporters & teams hope each year that they can make a run at the playloffs and unless a side is a run away in the divison the games late in the season have meaning as you are always thereabouts in the divison

    Sammy Watkins to the Rams, Gaines to Bills. Both injury prone, loved Gaines but stoked with Watkins if he can get fit.

    If Watkins stays injury free that's a huge weapon for the Rams offense.. Saw a stat at the same stage of their careers Watkins & Julio Jones have put up almost identical numbers

    Yeah big if tho. They say Goff looked decent on his limited time.

    Not long now guys. How's everyone's team training camps going? I'm hoping my 49ers can at least get 4 wins or above this season.

    • 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.
