Still not a fan of the three points at the end as it's bloody hard to win and if yo are up by two and lose in the last that would be a bit harsh.

Yep, you make a good point Gorgo but from my point of view and in the interest of keeping up the interest (so to speak), the 3 pointer at the end keeps the participants in it, often until the final week. 

And finishing 'on the podium' only is interesting for historical purposes.  Anyway, the key to it all is perseverance and never believing you're out of it.  From memory @Strafford missed a couple/few weeks in the first comp but was still the joint winner with 'cfh'

The 'mathematical possibility' is never more apt than with this unnecessarily cruel tipping comp :ph34r:

 

Few injuries for the Rams this week.

Still no Aaron Donald and I just read that Ogletree has not signed a new deal yet and it seems to have stalled... if we lose them both I'm flying to LA and burning down the half built stadium.

 

Well the start of the season can't come quick enough now..... 


10 days to go and it's on ... not a bad game to start with too - KC @ Patriots (Friday Sept 8 - 10.30am)

Anyway, for those who may want to participate in an NFL tipping comp,  we're running one here (again)

Feel free to join in the comp anytime.  It's a bit of fun and we could do with a few more people on the thread anyway.  It looks like we've got 6 or 7 starters to begin with so it's all systems go.

                            Rules of the 'Demonland' NFL tipping competition

  • All participants are allowed 3 picks only in any given week - but, they must all be 'road' teams.
  • Anyone who correctly tips all 3 winners from their 3 picks receives 1 point (any number of people can win a point in any given week)
  • Bonus points are up for grabs in weeks 2,  5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15 (2 points to all winners) whilst week 17 carries 3 points for any given winner.
  • No margins or correct scores are required - just the straight winners.
  • If you miss a week or come into the comp later on,  there is no penalty.  You just simply miss the chance to win points for that week or weeks. You can join in the comp at any time.
  • Your tips must be in before the start of Monday's games (AEST) ... or before the Friday game if you include that game.  All 3 tips must be included in your post (editing your tips is strictly forbidden :))
  • The person (or persons) with the most points at the end of the regular season wins.

Here's an early look at the week 1 games & lines ...

I'm thinking of dumping Foxtel, but living in the country I get terrible reception.

Does 7mate replay games or can you watch them at your lesuire on their site or is it as it's shown and if you miss it, so be it.

Don't take it as gospel but pretty sure theres no replays on 7mate, I could be wrong though... As much as I find it a rip off I just paid the $275 for gamepass so I know I can watch all games... Bloke at work chipped in $100 so has worked out ok for me

 

To be honest, NFL coverage in this Country is not great currently. You got 7Mate who often whiff on the right games to show, nothing on Fox and then the Sun/Mon night games. The Redzone channel is a slight reprive hard when you're fans like us who want to analyse a whole game!

Think my method will be to 'find a way' to obtain Niners games and watch them on Mon night.

I loved game pass when I had it but it's pretty expensive and I now live in the country on adsl1 so don't trust the connection.

Think I'll stay with Foxtel for now.


Ok I'm back in for tipping and thought I'd pick the division champs:

AFC:
North: Steelers
East: Pats
South: Texans 
West: ???? Chiefs
WC: Raiders, Bengals

NFC:
North: Packers
East: Eagles
South: Falcons
West: SeaHawks
WC: Giants, Panthers

Aside from the usual standouts - Pats in the AFC East, Packers and SeaHawks in the NFC, there's some really competitive divisions. 

With a bumper crop of QB's coming in to the league the teams without one - in particular the Jets, the Bills might fall by the wayside quickly. Otherwise a lot of teams will have something to offer. I expect the 49ers offense with Hoyer playing for Shanahan before will surprise a lot of people. They won't be Atlanta but they'll score. 

As a Bears fan I'm hoping the team restores some proper Bears defense and they can if they stay healthy. After that most of the season is just living in hope Trubisky develops in to a franchise QB.

Leaving aside those teams with little hope,  I found myself still leaving out a number of decent or half decent teams (Giants,  Eagles,  Texans,  Raiders,  Bengals,  Saints(?),  Arizona(?).  Rams(?)

As always, a few teams will fall away and other, less fancied teams will bob up from nowhere.  Every year we've done this I reckon we've all missed by a fair bit.  Picking 5 from 8 division winners is about par. 

AFC:
North: Steelers
East: Pats
South: Colts
West: Denver

WC: KC,  Ravens

NFC:
North: Packers
East: Dallas
South: Falcons
West: Seahawks

WC:  Vikings,  Panthers

NFC Championship - Falcons/Dallas

AFC Championship - Patriots/Steelers

SB: Patriots/Dallas

 

 

 

There's a couple of standout road chances in week 1 but finding a definite 3rd road winner is tricky ...

image.thumb.png.dab10fe50202c36bdd5fbf67a1e18d2b.png

We are back!!! 

Steelers

Falcons

Panthers 


Atlanta

Pittsburgh

Carolina

Colts look to be also missing their centre as well as Luck.

I think we will be missing Donald.

Imagine Donald over the back up centre against the back up QB... Sigh...

Week one is so hard as you can not rely on preseason results.

I'm at a stage with the pre-season games where I just have a quick look at the results and how many snaps Rodgers has had!

The clubs get a bit out of them with regards schemes, formations and the like but the scoring and the winning & losing seems secondary.

We didn't even play any starters vs the Packers in the last game.

Wow. Eagles?

I'm a fan, but jeez. I can't see us getting anywhere near Giants or Cowboys... and probably struggling against Skins TBH.

It will be interesting what the leauge does with the Bucs/Miami game scheduled in Miami with this hurricane about.. Playing in Florida has been ruled out and now it's whether they relocate or move it to week 11 where both sides have their bye... Surely they just relocate, no bye is a huge disadvantage for both teams!

Yeah that would suck for the teams having no bye.

Righto Macca, we'll see how long I last before I forget to put my tips in

Let's start with

Falcons

Steelers

(shudder) Eagles

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
