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 inclined to agree. PhillySS.

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

Lane Johnson out is huge tho.

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.

Patriots

Packers

Rams

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
