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. 

I'll be interested how Shanahan goes as the HC of the 49ers, from things I've read he was a very controlling offensive co-ordiantor & can sometimes be a bit stubborn & cute with his play calling, SB again another example... Reading stuff out of the Atlanta camp was how the new OC has let the players have a say & run things that suit them.. Having said that Shanahan orchestrated one of the greatest offenses last season so will be interesting how he goes as HC, I'm assuming he will be calling plays on offense... Goodluck to him.

I've heard similar things so it will be a bit up the air for a bit. I do think offense minded coaches are the way to go currently with it being a passing league. His Superbowl gaff was pretty hard to miss but hopefully he can bring something.

Hoyer as QB won't get us to a superbowl but I think he can win us a few games, Garcon knows Shanahan and brings some experience. Who knows!

Hopefully terrible... I like seeing the niners lose :)

Ha ha ... I'm very much the same with the Packers divisional rivals.  Especially the Bears.  Packer fans really hate the Vikings as well. 

I've got a mate who is a more recent convert to the NFL and he picked the Lions just so we can be rivals (he's also a bloody Collingwood supporter!)

The divisions staying with the same make-up of teams for long periods must build up intense rivalries over there.  The Packers/Bears rivalry is an ancient one and is ongoing.

Outside of the NFC North I always take a keen interest in the NFC East games.

Doesn't help when in my time of watching NFL, majority kid the time the niners have been decent and the Rams crud.

Not a lot wrong with those predictions. I do feel the Giants will push the Cowboys and I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers bottomed the NFC South. 

Mack will take out the sacks steaks. That's an absolute lock

Great DE. Work ethic to burn

Rams beat the Raiders, some decent highlights with Goff stepping up in the pocket, good to see.

Definitely a QB that will do better the more help he gets. Was always going to be a challenge going from those wide open PAC-12 offenses. Hopefully we see more

Agree. Seems we are playing him exclusively out of the shotgun all pre season.

So who's up for the tipping comp again?

If we can get 5 or 6 participants, I'm happy to run it. 

For newcomers, the tipping comp involves finding 3 road winners (from 3 picks) each week.  I point for each time you nail it and we normally have about 8 'bonus-point' weeks.

Yep count me in Macca, I enjoy the tipping comp! 

In again


That makes 4 starters so far in the tipping comp ... a shout out to @cowboy_from_hell @Dappa Dan @DeeSpencer @titan_uranus @Go the Biff @pantaloons @DemonDave & @layzie

If any of you blokes are keen to participate in the tipping comp,  just join in whenever.  We'll probably end up with at least 5 or 6 players so it's all systems go.  Any newcomers are welcome of course.

Missing a week or 3 or starting late may not necessarily effect your chances of winning ... there are numerous weeks when no one gets a point or points.  However, the bonus weeks is where the comp is usually won & decided.

Bonus weeks are weeks 2, 5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15 & 17 (2 points are on offer with week 17 worth 3 points)

It's easy to play ... just select 3 road teams in any particular week who you think can win ... if all 3 win you get the points.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
