And we have a winner in the tipping competition!

Congratulations to Clintosaurus  who wins the competition with a record score of 15 points - well done and well played. 

Thanks for running this again Macca. The beauty of this comp is that it seems so simple - yeah pick 3 away winners - but it's not quite that easy to pick up points. I think 2 or 3 times this season I lost points in games decided in OT so the comp certainly keeps you interested. And I think I got my tips in every round so that's a PB for me !

Congrats Clintosaurus - too good & a great score

Bring on the playoffs

    @Macca Packers GM thompson gone? Thoughts?

    Not surprised ... there have been murmurings for quite some time about his position. 

    You've often got to make changes in order to improve.

    I don't believe they'll make a move on McCarthy anytime soon. 

    It will be interesting to see what they decide to do with Hundley and whether they decide to pay for a decent back-up QB.  Thompson was all-in on drafting and seemingly had no interest in free agents.  I reckon that will change.

    The GB roster has a number of holes to fill ... that was highlighted with the loss of Rodgers.  McCarthy is safe as long as a healthy (or unhealthy) Rodgers is on the roster.

    Saquon Barkley is off to the draft - Browns would be crazy not to take him at #1. Mock I just looked at has them taking Baker Mayfield at #4. They would be set for years with those picks. Browns also have #33, #35 and Philly's second to draft based on need. Think their secondary would be a focus then.

     I reckon the NFC is wide-open.  Any of the teams can progress to the SB if they get hot ... home field throughout for the Eagles keeps them right in it too. 

    In the AFC the Pats & Steelers obviously stand out but neither team is as good as they've been in the recent past.

    Seen that for AFL with north being the last position

    Yeah the meme is everywhere. Cross breeding in all the sports is rife. Every time you see a funny Tweet in the NFL it's a matter of hours til the equivalent AFL ripoff is seen.

    Still pretty funny though.

    Yeah it's hard to go past the 4 home teams to win but there's nearly always at least 1 upset in both of the first 2 weeks of the playoffs. 

    Atlanta are probably the best road team this week but the Rams will be primed and ready.  Maybe Carolina if they can produce their best? 

    The framed odds reflect that too - KC $1.25,  Rams $1.30,  Jags $1.25 & Saints $1.33.  All 4 teams are either -6.5 or -7.5 to win at the line. 

    Having said all that I'm picking all of the home teams!

    Titans 16 @  KC 27

    Falcons 19 @ Rams 22

    Bills 13 @ Jags 27

    Panthers 29 @ Saints 32

    The panthers most likely to snatch an unlikely one. Almost went for them.

    So who does everyone think should get MVP?

    Brady as usual? Gurley a late charge? Wentz a sentimental vote?

    I had antonio Brown down as mine prior to injury, then Wentz.

    Brady will win it, but I dont think he deserves it this year. I hope Gurley gets it ?

  • Quote

    I reckon Gurley wins in a bit of an upset ... he's been outstanding however and finished off the season well.  2 strings to his bow has to be acknowledged. 

    Brady has been very good again and is odds on favourite but he's had better years.

    I had Brady a touch ahead of Wentz when he got hurt. But I reckon you're right now. Gurley to surprise.

    Given that it's an award for the regular season only it would have been interesting to see how Wentz would have fared if he missed the first 3 games of the year and then played the rest of the season unimpaired (the reverse of what actually happened)

    • 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 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.
