The leauge has moved the Bucs/Miami game to week 11.. Huge blow for both sides, following week 11 the Bucs now have 2 road games @ Atlanta and @ Green Bay... While Miami now come off MNF to Tampa, throw their London game in and their schedule got all that harder. Will definitely make making playoffs tougher

    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

    I have  the same issue GTB so I generally put the tips in early.

    I post up the lines (see below) as a reminder to myself!

    Here they are again seeing we're on a new page ...

    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.

    Cowboys most likely lose Elliott for 6 weeks which sends their offense back to earth and their defense is ordinary. They aren't better than a 10 win team. Giants defense is legit but their offense can't run the ball or protect Eli, again, they shouldn't win more than 10 games. Eagles have a chance to be very good on both sides of the ball if the additions at corner and WR work out.

    Do give my Jags a chance this week as long as Bortles isn't actually killed by Watt or Clowney. Interested to see how Fournette goes in his first game.

    Every morning I get up and look to see if Donald is back, every day I cry. 

    I truly have no freaking idea where the Rams will end up.

    Anyone give KC a chance tomorrow?

    I'd like nothing better than to see the Pats get beaten but I can't see it.  Hope it's close at least.

    TBH Macca I do. First games throw up strange matches and I think KC have some decent weapons, no Edelson for Pats is huge.

    All I can think about is Belichick and what new game-winning idea he comes through with.  Andy Reid's teams are nearly always in the contest though so it could be a close one.

    A big night of sport tomorrow night ... Footy,  NRL & NFL.

    Brady has to show some signs of being 84 years old soon...

    KC defence looked like they had 2 players less than the Pats. Brady found wide open players without even trying.

    Nothing I've seen in the first half has convinced me that the pats won't be a force, even without Edelmen.

    Chiefs are doing well but pats seem to be in 3rd gear.

    KC have dialled it up to 11! Hunt has been huge. Pats need to do well a... pats to get them outta this.

    I listened to the game (on & off) but that is an impressive win.  They were saying that the Pats have only lost 6 home games in 10 years and only 1 of those 6 was an AFC team.

    Was a good game to watch, Pats started on fire, but KC jus hung in their, the. They blew them away second half. Few injuries to both teams by the end.

    Ended up watching extended highlights and the Chiefs were great.  Alex Smith's best game?  Kareem Hunt had some sort of game too.

    Smith looked great. I think he is a solid QB. Hunt was Immense, especially after fumbling his first ever carry, he didn't drop his bundle but bucked up and got going.

    All sensible (except for the 6 games part. Seems he's playing the year now).

    I reckon though it's a more-or-less league-wide opinion that while Zeke is good, it's the OL that makes this team. They made two rookies of the year in Dak and Zeke. If they're all there, fit and playing... then I don't think it matters who they give it to. personally I have Boys at 12-4... possibly 14-2... at WORST 10-6 as you say, on the strength of that OL and Dak. Also I think their D will improve a lot. They've put a lot of work into it. Lee is still there, Lawrence, Taco. They've snuck up on us.

    • 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.
