Take the 3 points and give the ball back to Brady with 2 minutes left?

Don't poke the bear

On that last drive GB's lack of a running game shown up again.  The opposition know we had to throw it and plan accordingly

Too one dimensional

    Yeah thought Rodgers should have ran then tried on 4th

    The coach calling has been below par by the Packers.  But Tampa have been too good anyway despite Brady being intercepted 3 times

    Thus,  the Packers have had their chances on offence ... but the last 3 drives yielded just 3 points.  No decisive running game being the biggest issue and the defence is average

    Agree on the calling. Been some weird calls.

    Well done to Tampa ... they go to the SB in their home town after winning 3 games on the road in the playoffs

    13 years in the wilderness.  Brady comes to town and they're at the big dance

    Cracking contest. In the office today so watched on mute but I loved the way the game was being officiated UNTIL it was officiated. The spirit of the game was great for most of it just letting them play but then going against all that with some eyebrow raising calls. Definitely would have backed Aaron in on 4th down, I know Tom had started getting jittery so I sort of get it but I think they just had to go for broke there. 

    Amazing what Tampa have been able to do, Arians has done a great job.

    Just a reminder that we play for 10 points in the SB (5 for the win & 5 for the right margin)

    As for the 2 out in front, who blinks first!  haha

    In actual fact, 5 participants can still win outright with 6 combos available (Tampa 13+ anyone?)

    straight swap with Goff?

    Rodgers is peeved but I reckon once things settle down he'll remain a Packer

    LaFleur is the one that will be feeling the heat even though he gets a bit of grace considering it's his 2nd year as head ciach

    He made some amateurish calls under pressure but I reckon he stays on (for now)

    The underlying issue is structural & player personnel ... defence against the run & pass defence remains average and our running game can't be relied on.  Jones should be the no.2 not the main man

    Fournette was the difference between the 2 sides yesterday.  Each of his runs impacted

    We ask too much of Rodgers so it stands to reason that Aaron expects to be the main man all the time

    Drafting a QB (Jordan Love) in the first round of the draft last year should be looked upon as a smart insurance move by all & sundry (including Rodgers himself)

    And you can keep Goff!  haha

    Yeah jones needs another, Dillon looked decent at times this year.

     

    If Goff is to remain then we draft bulls at the OLine position, have to. Akers taking the next step will also help Goff as the run game is the first and most important piece of the McVay offence, but if they can I reckon they try and move him on.

    We'll have to wait and see. I don't think he'll leave this year with Green Bay's window open and a coach who's proven to be an excellent play caller. I dunno, there'd have to be a bit to happen to make it a possibility.

    I’d be stunned if he did, but if he did and came to the Rams I’d be throwing a party.

    Can't he just come to us instead? ?

    Rams are openly seeking a trade for Goff, Stafford to the Rams is building momentum and Stafford has supposedly said he would like to go to LA.

    Chiefs centre and WR are on covid reserve. Need to pass all Tests leading up to play, but this means they aren’t training. And if the centre doesn’t ply that could hurt the chiefs.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
