Here's last year's final tally in the tipping comp ...

Final Leaderboard (2016/17)

12 - Gorgoroth

7 - Clintosaurus,  DeeSpencer

--------------------------------

6 - JV7

4 - Macca

Gorgoroth set the high score last season although it was the first year where we had the current amount of bonus weeks.

Clintosaurus leads the current comp with 12 points (see above) so we'll probably see a new record score set.  A total of 6 points are still up for grabs

Well done mate. Chose the one I hoped for. See you again in playoffs.

You need to maintain the 1 seed to have a chance ... that has to happen.  Your likely opponents in week 2 and/or 3 could be 2 dome teams (Saints/Vikes) or a Rams team that hasn't been in the playoffs for yonks. 

 

I wouldn't want to face the Rams again. No way. Saints probably next most feared, followed by the Vikes...

If Packers did somehow get in, I would put them just after the Rams in the most scary category.

It's gonna be an intriguing time. I think in some ways the pressure is sort of off. At least as fans. Many have given up the idea that they seriously can threaten. I've spoken to some who thought they were so far ahead they couldn't miss a superbowl... and now they're just back in the pack. Most are just hoping, but resigned to a manful defeat.

3 actually. Keep your eye on Clement. He's a beauty.

Yeah, I'm not saying they're out of it yet... I think it's less of a comment on the Eagles, more of a comment on what I'm seeing from opposition. Vikings D, Saints D... wowee... I don't think Eagles can say they're better than those guys. Also the whole "Eagles haven't played anyone" thing is true... they've had maybe 4 good teams. Just barely squeaked through... I reckon Rams fans will be licking their lips if they face Eagles in week 2 of playoffs.

We need to fix our secondary. We give up way too many third and long plays.

 

Anyone on here in the Armchair Endzone comp run through BigFooty? If not you should - costs $40 per season and there is 6 comps.

What are they? Tipping?

Yeah, most of them are based around weighted tips each week. If there is 16 games in a week then each game gets points from 16 (most confident) to 1 (least confident)

The different competitions are explained here:

That's interesting... I'd be more inclined to propose a basic PPR fantasy league here... you know.. the one I keep banging on about. Also, just keeping up with you is hard enough to concentrate on lol

I find it cosier to do it in a cultured forum like demonland. Bigfooty really is the lowest common denominator.

I [censored] hate him. It was one year ago on the 13th of Dec. Best day ever!

Preliminary picks for this week: Broncos, Eagles, Falcons. Reckon Baltimore may slip up against the Browns.

Obviously can't change my Broncos pick and will stick with the others.

We don't allow 'preliminary' tips Clint ... no such thing.

 

Ravens

Eagles

Falcons


Lions game was horrible. Horrible.

 

Chiefs game was decent, thought they held Bosa from causing Smith too much grief.

Nervous as hell today. If all goes well at work ill be home to start the redzone at 2pm but I reckon I'll be working back again. So will fidget through the early games then nervously pace through our game. 

Go Rams!

Rams Seahawks massive implications all over the place. Rams off to a good start.

  • 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.
