Chargers Colts Bucs

Tempted to go Miami as the "away" team in Frankfurt but can't bring myself to tip against KC even with how terrible they were last week (I mean the Broncos man, what the hell!)

The Jets continue to do my head in, beat the Eagles one week and then pull out a miracle against the Tommy DeVito led Giants the following week after struggling to do anything for 59 minutes and 36 seconds. As Simmons said on his podcast this week we are 4-3 and in 3 of our wins the other team would be thinking "how the hell did we lose that?" Feels like it will come crashing down soon and what better time than Monday Night Football against the equally flakey Chargers.

Garrett Wilson is a freak though, Quincy Williams continues his fantastic year and Bryce Huff has been very good too and about to be rewarded with an extension it seems. With the game at MetLife this week chances are we lose another 3 players to injury 🙄

Also we must be nearing a record number of backup QBs starting, feels like every week another 2 or 3 go down. What's the record for number if QBs to have started a game in a season across the league? Even with the rules now where you basically can't even tackle a QB they still seem to be dropping like flies. Cousins joining Rodgers on the sidelines with his achilles, Stafford with his broken thumb, Deshaun Watson with his mega-contract "sore shoulder", Richardson done after a month, Danny Jones and Tyrod Taylor both out, Ridder injured/not injured - seems like if you can keep your QB healthy you're halfway to making the playoffs.

And those teams who probably want to see the back of their QBs like Mac Jones and Derek Carr keep chugging on.

After punishing myself by watching the Rams vs GB… well I won’t call it a game, maybe a putrid fest, I watched ravens slaughter Seattle for a bit before being treated to two great games in the phili vs Dallas and the Bengals vs Bills. 
 

I’ve been harsh on Dallas but they were great today, just the Eagles were beater and cleaner on penalties until the last drive.

Bills, I always rate but they are not in sync, Bengals are now flying that Joe is healthy.

    MORE FIERCE by Meggs

    We’re back!  Winning the last three matches has recaptured our Demon spirit and, with superstar players returning from rehab, our Season 2024 dreams are not over yet.   So come along 5.05 pm Saturday afternoon to watch this Round 9 ladder-defining match at the Field of Dreams. Expect the Tigers to be fierce, but surely the Demons will be more fierce. Playing conditions are expected to be a dry 15 degrees with a typically gusty Cranbourne wind. The media opprobrium of the ill-consi

    IN FRONT by Meggs

    In this must-win clash between Melbourne 11th on the ladder and St Kilda 8th, it was the Demons who were in front all day to win in a hard-fought Round 8 clash to make it three in a row to keep theit slim finals chances alive. A good crowd of enthusiastic footy families for week 2 of Pride Round had gathered.  The full pews in the well-appointed RSEA Park grandstand provided excellent viewing.   The Saints won the toss and elected to kick to the southern end favoured by a strong 2-3 g

    THE TRADING CHRONICLES 02

    Part 2: Watching grass grow by Whispering Jack Critics of test cricket (and I’m not one of them) will often claim the sport is excruciatingly boring: that following a five day match is much like watching grass grow. However, the longest form of that game has nothing on the first week of the AFL trade period when it comes to inducing sleep among those in the football public who follows this process in its somnolent moments. The week gone by has been no exception. Only two player trades

    THE CAVALRY ARRIVES by Meggs

    The injury plague which has beset the Demons 2024 campaign is finally starting to dissipate and with consecutive wins over GWS Giants and a 2-point nail-biter in Adelade, a sense of optimism is rising.  Some commentators are now asking whether the Dees can make finals? A huge surprise with team selection this week when it was announced that champs Olivia Purcell, Paxy Paxman and Eden Zanker would play.   Hallelujah!  The cavalry has arrived. St Kilda missed the finals last season on pe

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised
