I tell you what Macca. You can have your thread back. Cherrio

It's not my thread.  Dappa Dan kicked things off

This thread survives because we're all careful with what we say about the other teams

Let's face it, it's like Blues, Demons, Pies, Bombers, Tigers & Hawk fans all in the one conversation without it getting heated

You would have been best served arguing your point out.  But again, the choker jibe invites trouble

There's often a very fine line between winning and losing

In the end, you got lucky but you very nearly blew it

But hey, winners are grinners Gorg and you won the game.  49ers next week will be very interesting

Can they handle your defence and can you handle their defence?

We could see some turnovers on offense for both teams.  That's been the pattern this weekend and we may get more of the same

 

Rams need to commit 100% to stopping the run. Make Jimmy beat us. If their run game gets going it’s going to be hard. Contain and stop the run. Let the secondary do their job. 
Whit and Rapp hopefully back next week.

Yep, in crunch time yesterday the 49ers run came to the fore ... but your run defence is much better than what we saw from the Packers & Cowboys (against the Niners)

And the 49ers won't be leaning on Jimmy to win them the game ... short cut-out throws can be expected.  Jimmy, if managed well, can be effective

The 49ers run defence and pass defence is your biggest concern.  They are quite good, Gorg

Agree their D is very good, if we can establish the passing game early then make them drop more back that negates Bosa somewhat.

Agreed

Decibel factor at KC through the roof loud ... the 12th man!!

Play calling on that last Bills possession null & void!

 

Bills score in miraculous fashion.  Wow!

Josh Allen has been fantastic!

So now KC have got less than 2 minutes to save the day ... Bills 29 KC 26

This game is fun. Allen’s legs are elite then that throw on 4th &16 was crazy

Now KC take the lead!

Allen has a minute but the Bills trail by 4pts (29-33)

So they've got to get to the end zone

Simply amazing last quarter


Barnburner!

Bills score again ... Josh Allen is a genius!

13 seconds for the Chiefs to score ... 2 plays only?  A field goal ties it up

Are we going to overtime?

48 yard field goal attempt

We're going to overtime!!!

We get to watch these two blokes throw the ball a while longer. Unreal stuff

Is this the greatest play off weekend ever?

Yep ... the games have been fantastic

Chiefs win after being on their 25 yard line with 13 seconds remaining trailing by 3 points

Incredible!

So next week its ...

Bengals @ KC (7.00am Monday AEDT)

49ers @ Rams (10.40am Monday AEDT)

And moves have been made aplenty in the post season tipping comp

Anyone game enough to pick the Bengals?  haha

A total of 12 points up for grabs next week!

 

 

One of the greatest games of all time to end what surely is the greatest weekend of NFL games, ever?

There's no doubt the main reason the Bills lost is giving up a FG in 13 seconds.

But...

This might be the straw that breaks the camel's back in terms of the current OT rules. For Allen not to get to touch the ball after the game he had is just not how that game should have ended. Both defences were stuffed which meant too much rested on who won the coin toss. It shouldn't be that way.

Absolutely incredible game that one between KC and Bills, I only managed to watch the last quarter live, but what a quarter!
Simply one of the most amazing finishes to a game ever, had to feel for Josh Allen, threw what looked to be about 3 game winning TDs, and agree with you titan_uranus, and watching some of the post match reaction on youtube, the experts are calling for a College Style extra time system whereby both teams get a chance with the ball.

Some of the best quarterbacks in the league, on both winning and losing teams this weekend, flinging some beautiful passes in between the wide receivers numbers (a teardrop pass from Brady to Fournette in Q2, Stafford's darts to Kupp in that final drive, Allen and Mahones both in Q4), I love to see it. 

 


And agree with everyone here, quite possibly the most exciting weekend of playoffs ever! 

KC ended up with the biggest winning margin of the weekend, but had to come from behind twice in the last minute to do so.

Very true, I feel sometimes he outsmarts himself or can be a bit overzealous with his play calling... I was a big fan of his time in Atlanta, the offense that year was unreal. 

Yeah exactly, he's got a tendency to get in his own way. No doubting his offensive mind though.

This game was absolutely spectacular, some truly amazing quarterback play. Was really hoping the Bills would get it. Watch out Bengals.

@Gorgoroth Guess we both need to get our dukes ready to stick up. 

I’m going to have to stick and move like Ali to avoid the scores next Monday.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
