Week one is always so hard, so I’ll give a hand to you all….

Dont tip the Rams at Seattle 😂

You were saying? 🤨

Great win by the Rams, one thing you can say about the NFL is it is unpredictable. Entertaining first week of games, let's hope the Jets can finish the week off with a win tomorrow against Buffalo.

I don't know about the other conference but I have a soft spot for the Jags and Bengals, would like to see them do well.

Actually NFC wise Panthers are my team, played for a "Panthers" team in junior footy and like the colours, hopefully they've hit gold with their young QB. I also don't mind the Saints, New Orleans is one of the few US cities I actually would like to visit.

To add to this, the Titans is another team I've enjoyed following the last few years. Derek Henry is a beast.

But on the flipside, teams I hate? The Pats obviously, although I have cheered them on in Superbowls because they're my wife's team (she is a Cats and Pats fan 🤣).

I haven't liked the Falcons but last year I was starting to turn, and I realised it was just Matt Ryan I didn't like. I'm not a fan of the Giants or Steelers either and there's something about Mahomes/Kelce and the Chiefs that rubs me the wrong way. Maybe it's just tall poppy syndrome as all the teams I hate seem to be the successful ones and the ones I like are all perennial underachievers - maybe it's subconscious empathy as a Demons supporter 🤣

I don't like the Colts or Broncos, especially now that Russell Wilson is there. I like the Raiders but couldn't get behind them with Carr there, now that he's gone and Jimmy G is QB I can start to like them again (though it poses a problem for the Saints soft spot - I forgot he'd gone there until today). I find the Chargers a bit bland but have a soft spot due to Darren Bennett being a HoF'er there. They annoy me though because they're one of those teams that I just can never tip right - if I tip them they lose, I tip against them they win. Always ruin my multis and especially being a west coast team playing late, o often get a few legs in the early games and it falls apart in the late afternoon games.

Does anyone else have teams they hate, maybe irrationally?

I had the live play by play on my computer at work and was constantly waiting for them to roll us. 
Seattle in Seattle is always hard. Still stunned tbh.

Rodgers doesn’t even last the first series before being carted off, limping quite a bit.


Catch of the year occurred in the Jets game. Absolutely cracking catch. 
 

Oh and the Jets D dominated the Bills in the second half and got the W!

Torn achilles and that's season over from a few reports.  And at 39, that might be it

Next up is Zac Wilson or Joe Flacco

The life of a Jets fan. FFS.

Garrett Wilson is a freak. Beast Hall first game back from an ACL is a star. Our D is phenomenal.

Then our QB goes down 4 minutes into the season because our Oline resembles a bunch of turnstiles.

Great to get the win but my enthusiasm for this season just dropped immensely. Can we break the playoffs drought (the longest in all US sports I believe)?

Surely we go and grab someone, we can't be relying on Zach Wilson and a practice squad guy. I think we got rid of Flacco and he was useless last year when needed anyway. Could we go after someone like Jameis Winston? Mariota? Who else might be out there? Someone? Anyone????

Yeah it’s interesting, Wilson looked better as the game went on, but I don’t think you can stay with him. 
Whats the cap space like for the Jets?

We play for 1 point only this week but a bonus point is on offer for the creative types

Niners 7.5 point favs at the Rams?

I think that's it. By all reports was toying with retirement before this season  Achilles at 39? Big ask to keep going.

@layzie Niners fans are just like Collingwood fans, numbers over quality.

I'm trying bit it's incredibly hard to argue with this. 

Of course I'm all quality though 🙃

Not sure but I can't imagine it's great although we still have a number of key players on rookie deals (Wilson, Gardner, Hall in particular).

Sounds like Kaepernick's agent has been in touch as you'd expect.

How long has he been out of the league for? I didn't really like his playing style at the 9ers and thought they got lucky to make it as far as they did with him. No thanks, but not because of his politics.

Since the 16 season. 

They've just come out and said it's not happening and that's the right call.

Kap had some success with read option offenses. I can't see him running a conventional west coast offense let alone an offense designed for Aaron Rodgers. Even when he was good he couldn't throw from the pocket consistently enough. Hard pass from me as well.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
