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

New addition for the post-season tipping comp (assuming we get enough starters)

Working on the premise that we continue to post scorelines (as we've traditionally done) we could make the most of those scorelines

 

Week 1 ... 1 point per win plus a bonus point if your margin of victory falls within the actual margin.  i.e. 1-6,  7-12,  or over 12

Week 2 ... 1 point per win plus a bonus point using the same margin criteria as week 1

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for the correct margin criteria

Super Bowl ... 5 points for the win plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin (1-6,  7-12 etc)

We can just continue to post up the scorelines as we've done previously and I can work out the rest of it (with the possible aid of a proof-reader!)

All feedback is most welcome but a tipping system where interest is maintained throughout is the ideal outcome

 

n.b ... the margin of victory would need to fall into the 1-6,  7-12 or over 12 margin to qualify for the bonus point (or points)

Saints match was the trap game ... still,  GtB got the points (point) and if the Steelers win,  DZ as well

Washington now lead the NFC East with a 6 & 7 record.  No guarantee that they will win another game though!

Worth a look

 

 

Was an amazing game. My emotions were going nuts for the game itself and the fact I was on the verge of two multis coming up winners. Alas, it wasn’t to be, like the Browns failed mine both failed on one browns player each. 1.5yts to Chubb gets me $95, 8yrds to Landry gets  me $590.

The Browns/Ravens game was an absolute beauty.  Highlights aplenty!

The Browns lost no friends and they will be more than nuisance value if they figure in the playoffs

Meanwhile the Rams & Packers are likely to meet in the playoffs unless 1 or both teams get knocked out early

Not sure what to make of the bye ... the Packers need continuity but maybe they don't?  We should win out but the Titans game is tricky.  Bears in week 17 might not be relevant

The only thing the browns did wrong in the end really was they left too much on the clock but you can’t manage that when you need to score a TD.
 

in regards to GB matchup, Not even looking that far ahead. We have a winless team this week and I’m worried as hell!!! Then Seahawks and Cards who are looking for a wildcard spot and Seahawks want to win the division. 
cant see Seattle losing so rams must win all games.

At Seattle without a crowd ... even money bet

You'll take care of Arizona at home in week 17 and as for the J.E.T.S,  you're worried?

The line should be 35 for that game!!

Mate I’ve seen enough of my teams stuff it up vs crap teams and now Darnold is going to be replaced he will be out to prove to other teams he is worth taking.

@layzie  @Gorgoroth  @DemonDave  @JV7    @titan_uranus  @DeeSpencer  @Clintosaurus  @Dee Zephyr  @Go the Biff 

 

Vital point picked up by 'Go the Biff' when no one else picked up a point (the Saints knocked most out)

Just a reminder that we play for 2 points this week and also in week 16 whilst in week 17 we play for 3 points.  So a total of 7 points are still available.  For most of us,  we'll need to take some risks

Good luck all! (a few standouts but it's still a tricky week)

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
