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

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

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

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!

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

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.

Last year's notable's ...

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.

Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
