Horrific injury to Browns RB Nick Chubb on Tuesday. It was apparently so gruesome that ESPN would show a replay. Knees just aren't meant to bend that way ☹️

Steelers fans chanted Chubb's name as he was carted off the field. Take notes Collingwood, very possible for a big fanbase to act with grace. 


Dallas, Philly, Buffalo

Akers traded to Vikings for an unconditional 7th and a swap of 6th round picks. 
 

We were linked with Taylor earlier in the year, I know the Rookie running back is doing well but hasn’t faced a lot of stacked boxes yet and Taylor is a gun. Rams have $75 in dead cap this year and zero next year! 
Id do it, will help Staff stay healthy as they have to respect the run game and not know we will be throwing 75% of the time. 
 

Joe Burrow didn’t strain with his calf and Bengals said they hope he trains before Monday. Could be a huge out.

 

Will the Giants get close today? I can’t see it, Niners should Waltz to a W today unfortunately 😂


Interesting game, giants did much better than I expected with their oline banged up and Barkley out.

Their D was great on downs 1 & 2 early but wow did they screw up some 3rd and longs.

Niners are good across most of the positions, I look forward to the Dallas game when the D faces a good oline meaning the secondary will come under more pressure. I think that’s where teams will try and get them, not that it’s a big weakness just not as strong as the Dline.

McCaffrey is the key to this team. If he gets hurt then things change big time. In saying that the niners should win a SB in the next three years.

Tips!  2 points are being given away this week unless ... (the dreaded trap game)


cowboys might let us down. The much-vaunted defence has no answers so far. Dak and the offense going to have to step up here.

and the carolina coverage is very good so far

Cowboys not good enough today. Cardinals were very good to be fair.

Dallas defence had no answers today. Cardinals moved the ball with ease.

Penalties cost us. On big plays too (that old chestnut, McCarthy does not seem to have the cure for this disease)

Running game in good shape. Red zone offense a big problem. Can’t get it done. Couldn’t execute on a 4th and goal and picked off on 3rd and goal (Dak tried to force it).

Doing a lot right so still confident about the season ahead.

The good old trap game! 😐😁

I’ve been critical of McCarthy for so long. 
He can’t seem to take that next level as a coach. 
Cowboys run game is good, got good wide outs, good D, good oline and an good QB, but Prescott is another that has never put himself truly in the top echelon of QB’s

Cards were good and elite in the red zone defensively.


That’s a TD to Atwell, no way does his heel hit, the reverse angle shows it stays raised.

And no way they had clear footage to reverse it. They guessed and it cost us a TD.

We need a new QB. Dak isn't good enough, he isn't top echelon like you say. When the pressure comes on he throws interceptions. 

Into the last Qtr and McVay has cost us any chance at this game so far. Absolutely idiotic play calling all game long.

Bengals second worst vs the run, we have been good and elite in the red zone, so what does he do… repeatedly throws the ball. No run plays. The fool wants the ESPN big plays and not the grafting work. It does this all the time. 
0-5 in the red zone on throws. 
McVay drinks his own bath water at times.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
