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

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

Not saying I'm not happy... but bloody hell... Who'd have thought.

That wacky NFC East again this year.

Well that’s the Rams season done and dusted.

Without a decent o-line Goff is a super bust, McVay is looking more and more like a one trick pony who has been found out big time and like our coach has no plan B.

Our D has massive paycheques only superseded by the massive holes they leave in the secondary and the areas a running back wishes to run through.

The amount of penalties we give away is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

Rams are nigh on doing a Melbourne.

It did at times feel a little too easy getting to Goff, he definitely needs a good line in front of him as many others in this league do. Rams are way better than what was on display yesterday. Still only 1/4 of the season in but its gonna be a very tough division to top.

Well done Niners! Great defensive performance. Jimmy G still hasn't really got going so I wonder what he'll be like when the running game dries up a little and he has to just stand in the pocket and throw darts. Still it's nice to show that we have an actual team and prove some people wrong. Last season was tough but most teams would struggle without a starting QB, RB and tackle for most of the season.

Agree your D line was good, but I felt we cut them up early in the run game, we had over 100rds and a TD in the second qtr which no team had done either for any game then McVay went pass heavy and all went to poo.

saw a stat Whitfield was rated over 80 last two years this year low 60s, Havenstein even worse. Lose to vets out of 5 and it hurts.

Felt like the Packers got away with one there ... thought that Darrius Sheoherd dropped sitter was going to cost us.

But Rodgers does it again and the defence held Detroit to field goals.  170 rushing yards was very pleasing as well

Only did the audio so will watch the highlights later.  All the same I'll take 5 & 1 from 6.  Even with a softish home field draw we've still played some decent opposition.

Any observations from anyone who might have watched?

Yeah no arguments from me there. Rams running was slicing early and it did seem like it wasn't going to stop. 

More often than not there's no way around injuries. Lose players, lose games. It sucks.

Mahomes dislocates kneecap, gotta miss games over that. Big point will be if there is ligament damage.

Out for a month only by all reports.  Which is great news for the League. 

But good news for my Packers ... we're at KC next week.  Doesn't guarantee anything of course but Mahomes being out is a significant loss.

Massive loss and if it was the Rams going to KC I’d b3 pumped. I’m watch8ng packers game now, but gotta leave for work in a min, Rodgers on fire.

Rams missed a 40yrd FG, We then hold Atlanta on their drive by sacking Ryan twice.

Eagles in real trouble now. Injuries too much, and going forward the list is in a fair bit of strife.

Gees Atlanta suck Gorg... I'm starting to enjoy watching other games more than just focusing on my team. Season is completely gone & we are battling it out with Miami as the worst side in the league. There's too much talent on the roster for Quinn not to be fired, he assumed DC duties and the D has gone backwards. He is a dead man walking.

I listened in to half time but the game was effectively over after the first 5 minutes.  Costly errors allowed Dallas to score 2 x TD's without much trouble

But you have those days ... you're at the Bills next and then 3 tough games at home (Bears,  Pats,  Seahawks)  Need to win at least 2 and probably 3 of those 4 games.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
