Yeah. We can't be posting on MFC threads with those.

DONE!!!

 

1 Point only on offer this week but it's a vital point for the top 3 in the tipping comp ... the rest of us are playing for pride and a possible podium finish.

9 - Go the Biff

6 big game match-ups this week ... with a lot riding on a number of other games as well.  Dallas,  Detroit & Green Bay can all re-enter the playoff picture if all 3 win and a few other potential wild-card teams all lose.  Those 3 teams (Carolina,  Atlanta & Seattle) all face tough opposition.  It's probably the week of the season so far with so much at stake. 

Avatar's are on the line in the biggie ... Rams vs Eagles,  Goff vs Wentz,  Gorgo vs Dappa.  Cowboys logo vs Sherman or Fisher's noggin.  Philadelphia have been installed as 2.5 point favourites but I reckon it's a 'pick-em' game. 

Friday's game (Saints & Falcons) could be a barnburner.  Atlanta are going to have to be at their free scoring best to match New Orleans. 

Meanwhile,  Rodgers is getting ready for week 15.  Surely the Packers couldn't possibly lose to Cleveland.  Surely not.  Lose to a team that is tanking? 

Anyway,  all will be revealed by late Monday arvo (oz time)

Some huge games this week.


That's a vital win by the Falcons ... Saints walked away with a number of injury concerns as well.  I listened to the 2nd half and it was no surprise to see the outcome of the match decided by an interception.

The Atlanta win makes it doubly hard for Dallas,  Detroit & Green Bay now (in terms of wild-card spots)  The Falcons have beaten all 3 teams so hold the head-to-head advantage. 

There's still a bit to play out though ... we might see a few teams end up on 10 wins in the NFC.

Huge play by Jones to haul in the interception... Not the norm seeing Brees throw a pick in that situation. I still don't rate us, Ryan was pathetic today. Saints lost up to 7 players during the game and they still should have won. Kamara was the biggest loss in the first quarter...

If we make it we'll just be making up the numbers, still a lot to play we need to win out @tampa @NO & Carolina to take the divison, 10 wins might not get you there either. Big few weeks ahead

Yeah,  now that I've seen that fabulous catch by Deoin Jones,  I'm not sure that it's all on Brees at all (the loss)  You should beat Tampa (although nothing is ever certain) and then it's the Panthers & Saints to finish.  

If you can get to 10 wins that should be enough ... a win against the Panthers would ensure you'd hold the tie-break against most or all of your wild-card rivals. 

But if you win out I believe you will win the division.

Bizarre but good game to watch. Saints unlucky with injury, Falcons did a great job inspite of Ryans decision making. 

Can't wait for the rematch in two weeks! 

Eagles @ Rams game is on 7mate from 8.30am Monday morning.  Vikings @ Carolina is the 5.00am game on 7mate.

Redzone is great but there's nothing like watching a big game from go to whoa.

Yeah Eagles camp saying ACL. They were making all those noises within 10 minutes of him going off.

He took one more play, record breaking Eagles TD to Jefferey... ridiculous play... unbelievably gutsy staying in the pocket that long. Insane throw. Then done...

What a horrible season for injuries.

 

That's rotten luck for Wentz & Eagles fans ... he would have had thoughts of leading Philadelphia in the SB this season.  It's just the worst type of injury too (if it is the ACL)

On his way to the MVP as well - I just hope he makes a full recovery.

After his 4th, the conversation was seriously about him and Brady as 1 and 2... with Wilson coming up quickly.

Given the fact they have the 1 seed again now, and only the Giants, Oakland and Dallas to come... This could be the worst thing to happen to the Eagles ever.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
