And we have joint winners in the post season tipping comp ... DemonDave & myself came from the clouds to achieve victory

Well done Dave and good tipping!  In my case ... a flukers chance!

More details later but here are the Final Tallies

Final Leaderboard - Post-season Tipping Comp

24 - DemonDave, Macca

23 - Gorgoroth

21 - Clintosaurus

20 - Go the Biff

19 - JV7

14 - layzie, Dee Zephyr

6 - titan_uranus

Gratz to you both!!!

 

@layzie

Agree on the D line, A’Shawn Robinson was massive bs the run. Massive. 
It was a weakness for us that got turned around as the season went and he and Gaines were the lynch pins. Yes, Miller meant those two could play more run stop and not have to push. But both were great especially across the whole play off run.

 I truly hope we Re-Sign Beckham, Miller also but I don’t think we will be able to afford Miller. 

Awesome stuff Gorg! Both teams winning their respective Premiership & Championships in the same season, what dreams are made of! 

 

Also reckon the MVP awarded for the season needs to include the most important games for the season - the playoffs

And there is a way to do it instead of just taking the lazy option of separating the seasons

All votes or points could be collated prior to the SB by a panel of 12 hand-picked experts and those 12 can then allocate extra votes (or points) once the SB is completed ... would take 10-15 ,minutes

If that was done then Kupp wins the MVP for the season (in my view) Or perhaps even Stafford (who was very good throughout the playoffs)

Rodgers was a worthy winner in the regular season but again, the playoffs need to be included in order to find the overall winner

It’s always hard. 
The biggest problem is the QB position is the most important. So will always get the nod. But teams plan more for Donald than any other player for us. 
Kupp was insanely good this year and would have been a worthy winner. Kupp was great with Goff, Goff less so without Kupp. Kupp was insane with Stafford, Stafford less so without Kupp. It’s all linked, without all parts neither are great.

Good points but the biggest problem is that they don't count the playoffs (the most important games)

But neither do we with the Brownlow. 
TBH if Henry couldn’t win it last year. No non QB ever will again.

I'm not too fussed if a QB wins it the majority of the time

But you make a good point re the Brownlow so I suppose the same sort of rules do apply.  

However,  I reckon Kupp was the best in the NFL this year!!

Well played Dave and thanks to everyone for your participation.  Open to more suggestions but I reckon we've got the points system just about right.  Gives everyone a chance and the backmarkers are never really out of it ...  (cough)

Boom! Back on top baby!!! Triple crown for Kupp, triple crown for Gorgoroth!

You've now won 14 'Virtual' medals ... Michael Phelps like!

It's quite amazing how the years have flown by.  And I believe the thread is the 2nd longest running on the site

So many thirds tho 😬

If OBJ doesn’t get hurt I might have got the margin right in the SB. Ahhhh what ifs… 🤣

Well that will de value the 500k for the last TD ball he just sold.

Seriously think this is a mistake. He should have stayed retired. I reckon he declines this year.

It's either/or with retirement in my view

Some don't ever want to quit so when that's the case, the mind is right at least


Will post up a few of the 'America's Game' Super Bowl doco's from time to time in the off-season but in the meantime, here's the Rams win in Super Bowl LVI - Mic'd up

Rams vs Bengals SB LVI Mic'd up (this link will take you to youtube)

Crazy days in the trade scenarios.

Von Miller 6yrs 120m

Adams leaves GB for the non play off team Las Vegas for less money than GB offered to play in the play offs.

Allen Robinson to the Rams, rumour is Robert Woods will be traded.

Davante is a big loss but does create a lot of salary cap relief & space ... 1st & 2nd round picks for Adams will probably be used on a couple of WR's anyway (effectively, on way less money)

And apparently, there is loads of college talent in the WR position in the upcoming draft

Still, he won't be easily replaced as the bloke is a star ... now he will be on the end of the Derek Carr passes so we'll see how that goes in that set up.  Reunited from Fresno State

Edited by Macca

 

Adam’s turned down more Money from GB to go to Vegas. Blows my mind.

Watson to Browns, 5 yrs 230m 100% guaranteed… still has 22 civil lawsuits against him… ahhhh the Browns make me laugh.

Green Bay were only going to pay him $22Million this year but the Raiders have given him $140Million over 5 years ... which makes him the highest paid WR (ever?)

He'd bought a house there a while back and I'd say the club knew he was going.  Hard to match that kind of money especially when Rodgers is already taking a big slice

Anyway, I'm of the opinion that Rodgers can always find his WR's ... our real issues and weaknesses aren't in that area

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
