It always feels worse when it’s your team.

For sure. I just hold our coach and offensive weapons to higher standards!

    Expensive win for the Niners.  Jimmy G gone for the season.  Broken foot. 

    Every time he looks up and going  something busts.

    Spewing.

    Yeah read that, who is the third string QB? call Kap? What other QBs are able to be signed? Massive loss for the niners.

    Baker Mayfield released by Panthers, rams should claim him. Two reasons, he is better than what we have (not hard), but stops the niners from going for him 🥹

    One of the best rosters around and bam two QBs down. Happy to go with Purdy this week but not sure if it will last the season. Looking at who is available: Cam Newton, Baker Mayfield, maybe 40 y.o Ryan Fitzpatrick if you can pry him away from Amazon. Not real convinced any of them will fit the system.

    Realistically the niners need a QB who can hand the ball off and get quick passes into the flat and a few yards down field reliably. That’s your go, Deebo, Ayuik and McCaffrey do their work from there. 
    Your D is still very good, the problem will come in Jan when you come across very good D’s but also with very good O’s. Then it’s can you score enough and also keep their O off the field. Newton and Mayfield both can do this and I’d be surprised if either don’t get a work out.

    This is true but man I'd love to see Ayuik with a deep throwing QB. I also always felt Kyle held back because he didn't trust Jimmy throwing deep often, the only deepish plays we'd call would be throws to RBs or TEs. These are all nice to haves though, Numero uno is the underneath and shallow routes and getting it to the flat as you said. 

    Newton's running would be handy but if Kyle intends to use him the way he was using Lance between the tackles it could be a short lived experiement, the guy is banged up enough as it is. Mayfield has undeniable potential but is a turnover king. Having said all of this I agree they should get workouts.

    In a perfect world Fitzpatrick would be the best stop gap, actually in a perfect world you would give us a healthy Stafford for nothing.

    Rams claim Mayfield who is flying tonight to LA and likely to start Thursday night. 
    He is an upgrade on our back ups but not by much. But I did read if he signs with another team in the off season we can get a compensation pick. And as our first pick goes to Detroit there is no reason to not try and win.

    I stand by what I said but there is a hint of jealousy now that this has happened 😝

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
