You would have scored well with Gurley in your fantasy league. He was on fire.

I was down by about 55 with Gurley (projected 20), Jimmy Graham (10) and Snead (5-10) left... and my opponent had Kupp (15-20) left. He was homefree. Gurley gets me 37, Snead 10... and Kupp only goes for 1.2....

Now I need Graham to get about 8 points... so 4 catches for 60 yards or so.

    Horrible tackle on Kupp.

    Did you guys see the hit on Cooper that knocked him out? Did not even draw a flag!

    Rodgers... King of the Goats!

    The late penalty against Sherman was costly for the 49ers ... they showed vision of Rodgers being tackled low but that wasn't the call. 

    You give Rodgers a semblance of a chance and he will make you pay.  I listened to the game and San Francisco in the end were rather unlucky to lose.  I don't believe we've played all that well so far this season but we'll need to get better after the bye. 

    @ Rams,  @ Pats,  vs Miami,  @ Seattle and then @ Minnesota is a tough stretch but with Rodgers at the helm,  we're always half a chance.

    TBH Macca I think the niners mostly outplayed you, but the difference as always was Aaron “better than Brady” Rodgers. 

    The throws he made in the last were of such a high quality in clutch situations that I would think only 2, maybe three other QBs that I’ve watched over the last 25+ years could make.

    Once again I think that Rodgers makes every one on that offence look better than they are, Adams excepted, quality WR. and make your HC seem like he is a good coach... I think at any other team he would have been sacked by now.

    Great game. The penalty on Sherman was slightly harsh but the game was won with Rodgers, simple as that. 3 inch-perfect throws to out routes as they marched into field goal range and his throw to Adams to tie the game 30-30 was just sublime. We may have been a bit unlucky but Green Bay made the plays when it counted.

    Proud of what the Niners are showing lately, still make silly mistakes but they are playing hard and are running some well designed plays on offense. Can't ask for much more. 

    For the Pack I wonder if this is the game that kick starts something for them. Plenty of weapons on offense, I don't mind the defensive line. Secondary a little questionable. Interested to see how this team goes.

    Sherman gave the referee a clear chance to pay a penalty layz ... with 49 seconds left the one thing a defender can't do is put his arm around a WR and impede that WR.  A clear penalty but that doesn't mean the 49ers weren't unlucky to lose the game. 

    San Francisco played very well and it took another clutch performance from Rodgers for Green Bay to prevail.  And because of that I'm not convinced that the Packers can reach the post-season.  Maybe as a wild-card or if the Vikings falter but we'll need a good dose of luck.

    We can beat any opponent on any given day because of Rodgers and his band of WR's but we can't do that all the time from what we're witnessing.

    And it is a case of 'what could of been' for the 49ers with Garoppolo out injured

    Macca I don’t know why I used the word harsh, I meant unfortunate. It wasn’t harsh at all, was a long day today..

    Penalty every time, if the QB remains in the pocket a defender can’t initiate contact of any kind, unless of course it’s to protect themselves. But it was unfortunate, bit like in Soccer when a defender lunges and gives away a clear penalty but you still feel for them.

    And if they paid all pass interference calls layz we'd have dozens of penalties per game against the defense & offense ... it depend on where the infringement happens.  In the middle of the field right under the referee's nose is asking for trouble.  Home field or away matters too. 

    I've always acknowledged the obtuse nature of ref calls and take the good with the bad.  In the wash-up,  Green Bay won a game on the back of some more Rodgers magic whilst the 49ers probably should have put the game away when they had the chance. 

    Packers will need to get a lot better if we're to figure in January.  Got the bye this week so the Packers should spend the time doing a thorough review and figure out how to get that much-needed improvement.  At Rams in week 8 will be the ultimate test for starters.

    And with the QB staying in the pocket it’s even more obvious, you can get a bit of lenience if the ball is in flight at least. Silly, but not what decided the game. Not by a long shot. Thought the game was officiated well.

    They made some good additions to their defense but they look like they still need some time.

    Khalil Mack despite the ankle injury has been killing it. I really feel like he could end up being one of those balance of power players like Charles Haley was in the 90s. The Packers or Lions should have gone for him purely for the fact that they then wouldn’t have to play him 10 times over the next 5 seasons ?

    If I wanted to be ridiculed by everyone here I’d say he was just about MVP before week 6.

    He was def up there, but unless you are a QB you ain’t ever getting MVP.

    One way traffic in Arizona so far this morning. Sounds like the Broncos have more fans than the home team.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?
