Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Wow.

Start getting seriously excited Dappa & Gorg

As well as Clinto's Jags. 

As for the Packers & Falcons,  we won't be seeing a repeat of last year's NFC Championship match-up (unless a minor miracle occurs)

But as you said JV,  the Rams & Eagles are the standouts in the NFC ... the Saints & Vikes are both 6 & 2 as well and will take some pegging back.  The Panthers,  Seattle & Dallas are thereabouts but that loss by the Seahawks today could be costly.

I already was. you'll need to work on Gorg tho.

Actually... for all the fun Eagles fans are having right now... Check this out. Eagles are 8-1, Cowboys 5-3... Next week Eagles have the bye, while Cowboys should take care of Falcons. Then Eagles and 'boys play each other in Dallas. If they win that, Dallas will be 7-3 and Eagles 8-2... With Dallas holding the tiebreaker with superior division record. Basically a half game back. And that's all very plausible. They just beat KC... a feat the Eagles couldn't manage.

Crazy.

Yeah the Saints have surprised me a bit, you know with Brees that the offense will always be good enough but their D has been a lot better than expected and they'd now have to be favorites for the NFC South... Each and every week the Rams offense flourishes under Lafluer a bit of me gets angrier & angrier as to why we didn't appoint him our OC! 

Yeah seems those sides you mentioned are the ones to beat in the NFC. Yeah a  crucial lost at home by Seattle, I really don't rate them at all TBH

Wow. I'm still pretty scared of Seattle. For them to put together that many wins with basically no run game.

Cowboys are right back in it, even without Zeke. Rams are amazing. Vikings, if Bradford can come back and get good again... can beat anyone.

Seattle's next 4 will paint a clearer picture ... @ Arizona,  vs Atlanta,  @ 49ers and then vs the Eagles.  If they win 3 of those 4 they'll be sitting on a record of 8 & 4. 

Washington aren't a bad team either but they'll probably need to get to 10 wins just to have a chance at a wild-card.  At this stage I can see the 2 wild-cards coming out of the South,  East & West ... probably not the North unless Detroit get their act together. 

10 wins normally gets a spot but not always ... the Pats went 11 & 5 once and missed out completely.  It's happened a few times like that I believe.

Haven't really looked at the AFC closely but it's probably the same sort of story.

Bloody happy with my Rams, but keeping a lid on it as we have a big few games coming up and the Seahawks just keep themselves in games with their D and Wilson is too good to keep quiet all game and as you constantly see, when their O fires they are usually within 10 points due to their D.

Eagles are just simply the team of the NFC.

Thanks Lions.

You should be thanking McCarthy.  Detroit were never tested.

An example of what I'm talking about is the Eagles going after a RB in Ajayi ... they are obviously trying to get stronger in other areas apart from QB,  WR & defence. 

A really smart move by Philadelphia - the payoff could be huge.

A number of us have got some catching up to do but we're running out of weeks - however, there is a total of 13 points still available.

Surprised a lot of Philly people. Left tackle was what many of us wanted, to replace Peters. And Brown went to Seattle. Also thought we'd get middle Linebacker help as we're desperately thin there now. Ajayi though count for 1.5 mil over the next two seasons as he's on his rookie contract. So that's a pittance. He may only get a few years before his knees give out, but only a 4th rounder... It's massive, as you say.

Watching on the weekend, his pace and ability to cut has him ahead of Blount as a player. And he's better at pass catching and most importantly, blocking, too.

NFC North just got real.

Just quietly Gorg... Second week running with Eagles at 1 and Rams at 2 on the power rankings.

I don't have much money, but putting it on Rams and Eagles for NFC Championship game would probably pay well. Still a lot of people out there yet to discover the Wentz/Goff show. We are totally spoiled.

1 point only on offer this week ... Pittsburgh & New England are the standouts whilst Seattle,  New Orleans & Minnesota are all favoured as well.

Yeah, I'm not betting for the same reason. I was actually thinking of putting money on the cowboys. Whatever way the NFC East works out. I win.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
