The Panthers are a weird one. I wasn't that impressed with them in week 1. They may well have the most fierce defense around though and Luke Kuechly is back to his old self.

With Olsen now out for 6-8 weeks and Newtons arm no where near as good as it was, I'm very wary on how their offence will go.

Falcons were always going to be a weird one really season as no one knew how badly the loss last year scared them. Panthers wwent to a heap after their loss. 

Yeah true, I have a sense that the team has "embraced the suck" as was their motto in the off season and will take it in their stride this season.. Obviously won't be proven right or wrong until seasons end but only 2 sides have ever lost the SB and returned to win it the following year.... We are only the 4th side in history to lose the SB and winning the opening 2 games next season, it's a start!

Ryan is playing well, Jones is a star but I've been super impressed with your running game. O-line is playing well and opening good holes. The D is getting the job done. There is a lot to like. 

 

JV has shot to an early lead in the tipping comp ... Dappa also picked up a big 2 points as well.  Shouda gone for the Titans - shouda, couda, wouda.

This week and next (weeks 3 & 4) we're playing for 1 point only but as you well know, every point counts.  Wide open this week though ... just gotta get the right 3.  Good luck!  Remember - get ya tips in early.

There's a few decent match-ups again but the pick of 'em might be the Falcons @ Detroit (early Sunday)  SNF & MNF look the goods too.  Thursday night is a big game for the Rams but the 49ers will be desperate for a win.  Could be a close one.

Leaderboard in the comp

3 - JV7

2 - Dappa Dan

1 - Go the Biff,  Clintosaurus,  Macca

0 - The rest

Wow, you guys are tipping early. 

There's any number of possible's this week ... including your Rams on Friday (our time)  The Ravens,  Seattle,  Dallas,  Miami,  the Falcons & the Broncos all have decent claims too. 

I read somewhere that Bradford has bruising on the bone in his knee so he's very doubtful.  Which means Tampa could be a real show as well.

I'm half tempted to tip the Rams... super worried that we won't have fixed the D vs the run. Got smashed on Sunday. 

What I have seen from the niners hasn't been great but if was wet in the last game so hard to go by that game.

I did read that the Rams have 5 offensive TD's, rest of the NFC West has a combined 4...

It's a tough gig steering clear all day, I hate it but there's no alternatives really.... Makes it even tougher not watching for a full 24 hours!

I mix it up with some live visual (RedZone),  a fair bit of tunein radio and usually manage to watch 2 full games out of SNF,  MNF & Thursday night football. 

I'll be doing tunein radio tomorrow because of the footy & the NRL.  Tunein is the best $11 a month value out there (if you like live radio sport)  On top of the NFL,  one can tune into any game of MLB,  NHL & NBA - whenever.

I go back a ways and for a long time there, we got absolutely nothing.  Zero TV and as for audio coverage - zilch.  It was just footy, cricket and a bit of soccer,  golf & tennis.

To be honest with the way the afl finals are going I'll watch the NFL ?

Got a mate who isn't bad with predicting outcomes and he reckons the Crows will obliterate Geelong.  Me,  I'm no good with these sort of things but I favour the Crows.

Reckon GWS may spoil the Tigers party too ... but again, what the hell would I know!

Storm vs Broncos could be a top game though ... I've got into the NRL of late - a brutal sport.

How long you been following the NFL for interests sake Macca ?

Back in the day,  Don Lane (who?) was a Packers fan and from time to time he would sprout their sporting prowess to a bewildered audience who had no freakin idea what he was talking about.

But I was just a youngster then and was suitably fascinated.  So they became my team even though I could never watch them or hear anything about them.  There was no cable and the only game we ever got was the SB.

So I was a Packers fan from afar for a long time.  Australia finally dragged itself into the 20th century in the mid 90's so now I get to see them play whenever.

 

Even I'm thinking of tipping the Rams this week. Even though we took it to the Seahawks. Hoyer not bringing home the biscuits IMO.

Good ol Don Lane. That's what got m into the NFL. 

 

Macca, I've been watching the NRL since I was a young un, followed the Balmain Tigers back before the Storm. It's a great TV game, ok to watch live but tbh I prefer it on TV.

I like the West Tigers but am also a Benji fan - gone for a year and now he's coming back.  Also like the Cowboys because of Thurston. 

Great competition in a sport worth watching and the stars - that'll do.

Same story here. Don Lane used to explain the rules to us novices. Also followed Balmain with Blocker Roach, Benny Elias and Garry Jack who played the game like an AFL player. Was great to watch. Dropped off when they merged & Marcus Bai made me a rusted on Storm fan

 

Also been into NFL since the Don Lane days. Can also remember Eddie hosting a 3 hour Tuesday night NFL highlights show that had highlights of all the games and 2 featured games one of which was always the Monday Night game. Think it was 11pm to 2am so usually recorded it.

Have been following Parramatta in the NRL since 1976 - has been a largely frustrating time except for 1981 to 1986 and the occasional finals visit in recent years. Totally [censored] the bed last Saturday when a spot in the Grand Final was there for the taking.

  • 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.

  • 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.
