Ewwwww, MNF won’t be a great one.

TNF will make up for it. Wentz vs Newton. Who are we picking in THAT one?

    We all only need make one pick this week. No way anyone isn't picking the Pack and Pats with their first two.

    Yeah,  you're right Dappa,  it's finding that 3rd road winner that's tricky.  However, would any of us be surprised if the Pats or Packers lost?

    Seeing we're on a new page,  here are the games again ...

    Yeah can’t wait for Friday’s game. Should be a Cracker.

    As the yanks are apt to say,  Friday's game could be a barn-burner. 

    I'll go for a scoreline of 32 - 29 in the Panthers favour ... home field decides it.  If the game was played in Philly,  reverse the scores.

    I’m going the other way, eagles 27 - 24 panthers.

    I'm hoping the Eagles get up..  

    This year seems harder for tipping, if that was actually possible!

    Pats

    Steelers

    Packers

    I probably shouldn't tip this early, but it's one of those weeks.

    Pats and Packers and...

    Bucs.

    On the Rams!!!

    Brave. I don't trust our ability against the run yet. It has been much better last two weeks but jags run it so well.

    Anyone gutsy enough to pick Eagles?

    Caught most of the 1st half today... Both QB were under pressure from the defenses, and Carolina couldn't get any run game going.. The 1st interception from Newton which was a huge play made by Cox sort of turned the tide. Didn't see any of the 2nd half though, good road win for Philly

    The run D was startling from the Eagles. Dropped them in the backfield more often than not. I think they ended up averaging 3 inches per run play. That in turn led to Cam having more pass attempts than any game in his career. Eagles corners did enough, even though they were one on one... then Cam got hurt on an almost TD run... And he couldn't throw right at the end.

    Was an absorbing game, but not one for the highlights.

    Not that we care. 5-1!!!!!

    If you said to me at this stage Eagles would be on 5 wins and Dallas, Giants and Skins would have 2 or less I'd have laughed in your face. And add to that Zeke is going to be out for 6 weeks!

    It'll still go down to the wire, the NFC East... But as of an hour ago, Eagles are the favourite. Couldn't be more pumped.

    My take on today’s game that I tipped the eagles would win.

    Just didn’t post it as one of my tips... idiot. Ha ha

    Eagles D v the run was immense. So so good.

    Wentz hits third downs like I sit on the couch. I can’t beloeve how many he hits.

    The penalties against the eagles was terrible, then the same not called against the panthers.

    Eagles did their best on offence to throw the game late, but I’m stoked they beat the Panthers.

    Not just third downs, but third and 10+... At one point last week he hit 3x3rd and 11s... I dunno. Surely that's not a tactical thing, but just a bit of luck. Fell back to the pack a bit this week. 35% hit rate or so.

    Man... the week 14 game vs the Rams is going to be a helluva thing. I reckon by that stage both our divisions will be praying for a win.

    If your run D is as good as it was tonight we are fooked.

    McCaffrey 10 receptions. Also, Gurley 'aint as bad as Stewart.

    Also I'd take your WRs over Panthers WRs.

    It’s funny thinking we have better WR’s than anyone...

    I laughed. Then I thought about it... If they're not #1 in terms of names... they're not far off.

    Rams - Watkins, Gurley, Kupp, Woods, Austin

    Packers - Nelson, Cobb, Adams, Bennett

    Steelers - Brown, Bryant (you have to include them)

    Giants - OBJ, Sheperd, Marshall, Engram

    Cowboys - Dez, Beasley, Witten maybe?

    Falcons - Jones and it doesn't matter who else?

    Patriots - Edelman, Cooks, Hogan

    Broncos - Thomas and Sanders

    Raiders - Crabtree, Cooper, Lynch

    Bucs - Evans, Brate, DJax, Howard

    They're the ones that jump out at me. Eagles have good ones with Ertz, Jeffrey, Agholor... but too early to put them up with the big boys.

    • 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.
