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

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.

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 done as well @Macca !

Congrats to the Rams, worthy winners.

And thanks for organising the tipping comp again Macca, it keeps me engaged in all the other games results beyond my own team.

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

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
