Might be all they need him for Gorg.

Also it was a small thing but I liked seeing him on the sidelines giving Aiyuk some 1-1 mentoring. 

From what I read he was a great locker room & team guy at the Falcons.. He made some huge plays & had some big games for us. I loved him & was sad to see him leave Atlanta last season, reunited with Shanahan, if his body is ok he'll go alright in SF

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

Here are the games again but note that Houston should be +5.5 not -5.5 ... an obvious typo

Couple of youtube clips further down (Guess the lines & short preview)

Falcons let in 20 in the last to lose... and worse than that, cost me my multi.

Another Monday & another blown Falcons lead... No side in the last 20 years has blown two 15 point last quarter leads in a season, we just did it in back to back weeks. Might be time for a new side.

Also cost me my multi ?

Just watched the Rams highlights and the 4th and 9 Pass interference call against us was wrong. Should not have been. Should have been turn over on downs and we win. That’s disappointing to see so late in the game and so crucial. Especially now you cannot challenge PI calls.

An amazing football game but I couldn't agree more Gorg. I don't know how much more Williams could have released from the initial mutual contact. I don't usually like to bring games down to one call but it's hard not to on this one. Brutal call

I agree, I mean the 3 and 22 they waltzed through is unforgivable, but the prob with the late calls/ non calls with seconds left is it does turn the game.

Also the first missed field goal of the game, kick that and things may have changed.

I thought they might have changed things where PI rulings could be challenged?

And you know me Gorg, I rarely,  if ever complain about bad calls but there was nothing in that incident at all

I'd rather it go the other way where the players & plays decide things.  And you might see that type of non PI a stack of times in every game. 

Can they over rule themselves? If so,  they should do

Whilst I'm here ... Packers had a great win over the Saints on the road.  We look a different team.  Saints losing opens things up for Tampa & Brady.  10 wins might win that division.

Bears the danger though in the NFC North. Foles comes in and he might stay in.  There's just something about that bloke in clutch moments.  Keeps delivering

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
