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?

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).

Yeah you are a good one that was led astray. 😁

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.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
