@JV7  would have to be disappointed even though the win was there for the taking at the death.

As for the Eagles,  as Barassi once said when he coached us,  a win is a win is a win.  Bank the win and go to Tampa and hopefully advance to 2 & 0.

That's why I was happier post game. Pinched one I thought we could easily lose, especially with  5 goal line plays defended.

I'm relieved that Eagles have Bucs, Colts and Titans... the first two stink, and Titans aren't much better. Feels to me like a rusty squad needing to get things sorted. Also Wentz will be back after those 4.

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

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

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

Oh,  and by the way,  we do it all again next week week with the NFL/Demons double.

Ravens @ Cinci then Demons vs Hawks - let's ride this one out right through September hey NFL fans?  It's novel,  but we're alive and kicking.

The other games in week 1 promises a bit though ...

  • 49ers @ Vikings
  • Texans @ Pats
  • Jags @ New York (Giants)
  • KC @ Chargers
  • Seattle @ Denver
  • Dallas @ Panthers
  • Bears @ Packers
  • Rams @ Oakland

There's no shortage in the NFL.

We've had the same problems for years even in the SB run of 16' we were poor in tbe redzone. Ryan was so off last night, he seemed uneasy all night.

That final drive was like watching years playoff game, exactly the same. I'm not surprised by the result/performance, I don't hold great expectations of this Falcons side this season

I already hate the the new helmet rule but more so the new rule of not landing your body weight on a QB. that hit on Rothelsberger was perfect, if Ben holds it that long h3 deserves the hit and the player who prob weighs half as much as Big Ben landing on him.

@Macca Where are you?!!!!

In shock!

That was some sort of comeback victory .... and as you said,  adds to the legend.   So many twists and turns including the Fuller dropped interception that could have ended it. 

To be honest,  once the injury happened (MCL perhaps but to what degree we don't know) all I could think of was long term.  But Rodgers has said that he will play next week.  

McCarthy was forced to play a conservative game-style and we looked quite effective because of it (apart from the 2 game-changing TD's)

The Bears played well,  especially early,  but couldn't finish it off.  It's going to be a dog-fight in the NFC North though,  all the same

Yeah just saw his post game presser. He said he'd have more answers on Wednesday, but that if he still feels ok he'll play.

Half time, with no news, and seeing his face as he was on the cart coming off, and seeing how Kizer was playing, it was season over for Packers... Now it's the complete opposite. I can't remember a game that had such wild swings in implications... from doom and gloom to the best comeback of his career (I think... in terms of score).

Rodgers just keeps doing these sorts of things but that was out of the box great.  But his lack of mobility helped the team advance the ball in a different way (quick,  short 5 - 7 yard passes that I have been advocating)

Loads of other highlights from the day of course ... but it's only week 1 - we'll know more in a month.   Washington,  KC,  Jags,  Ravens & Vikes the most impressive?  And Tampa won't be easy next week for your blokes.

Thursday night I was thinking 4-0 would look good. But my goodness, Tampa just smashed a team many have picked to play in the superbowl. Eagles spluttered too... Lots to play out here, and what was an easy win is now nothing like that.

Ravens and Vikes, yeah... Vikes everyone knew were good. Ravens looked awesome... But for me it's KC I was most impressed with. Second year QB playing like that. They look a bit scary.

As you know,  I'm an Andy Reid fan as he keeps getting his teams into contention.  KC keep racking up the wins and often fly under the radar.  Mahomes with 256 yards with 4 TD's and no interceptions at the Chargers is impressive.

A lot of the teams were all a bit rusty though ... as an example, Green Bay couldn't advance the ball with a fit Rodgers in the first half but did advance the ball with an injured Rodgers in the 2nd half.  Ravens are worth keeping an eye out for same for the Panthers.   Jury is out on Cinci but the Pats won as expected. 

The 2 games tomorrow are of high interest for all sorts of reasons.  The Rams @ Raiders game especially.  Gruden might have some surprises in store for us.  And such is the divisional implications in the NFC North I'll be barracking hard for the J.E.T.S tomorrow!  That's divisional football for you.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
