Who wouldve thought this was going to be only the second most  bizarre thing from this mornings highlights, 

very unusual to see two team mates scrapping. But no, then Antonio Brown goes and completely loses it,

at least coach Arians made a quick decisive call to jettison the noxious person that Brown is.

Doesn’t tolerate nonsense Arians, very much from the old school.

Needs a lot of help AB. Felt the cracks were papered over with his ability to help them achieve success last season but the reality is he’s needed serious help for a long time now.

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

The 49ers will make the playoffs if they win at the Rams next week ... but if they lose and the Saints win at Atlanta, they are out of the playoffs (on conference record or head to head record, which could include the Eagles)

If we get enough starters,  a post season tipping comp can be held again

Same as last year, it will work like this

Week 1 ... 1 point for each correct winner (home or away) plus a bonus point if your margin of victory matches the following brackets (the correct one)

1-6,  7-12 or 13+

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each the correct bracket margin of victory

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct  bracket margin of victory

Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points for the win plus 5 bonus points for the correct bracket margin of victory

Traditionally, we've posted up scorelines so the margin bracket will be covered in a default manner if scorelines are posted up

Or, you can just post up a bracket margin of victory alongside your tip

Getting in a bit early this year with regards to the post-season tipping comp

The quoted post above explains the rules reasonably clearly and I'll post it up again after the regular season is done

Think I’ll set the alarm for 4:50am on this one 

I do every week!

But niners game starts at 8:25, I have to drive to Bendigo that morning, so might get an hour in live.

But do I watch some, then Avoid scores and that evening watch the rest? 
or

Avoid everything and watch the game that evening?

or

watch the hour live, then get the wife to give me updates as I’m driving?

Gorg that’s a pure toughie. When do you set off for Bendigo? We don’t advocate illegal activity here but could you have Kayo/Foxtel playing on your phone in a phone holder? I imagine this is a featured game this week on Kayo or 7 Mate surely? Anyway that would be my call, watch the hour then the rest (not) while driving.

Even as a passenger I’d hate to try and watch it on the phone, plus all the back country roads means the net will drop out or be slow. Prob leaving 9:30-10am

A fair call. Will you have any breaks during the day?

Every week long Antonio Brown saga seems to view like a soap opera with events and news each day of the week. If you didn't read the news since the walkout on Mon you really fell behind. 

Yeah, this is going to be very interesting. 
Is the ankle cooked? Did he get jabbed up to play, which is illegal in the NFL. Is it CTE? 

Did He get told to play/go back on after saying he was too hurt.

So much to play out with this.

Exactly, there’s a hell of a lot to unpack. I do find it strange with Arians claiming he didn’t know about the injury. 

The latest is AB taking a blowtorch to his friendship with TB12. Not pleasant.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
