Jordan Love might just be a decent player!

Can we trust the Lions?

Love looked very good. The rest of this season and next will tell what sort of player you have.

 

The Lions, well I think we can forgive this, teams have lulls during the season and off a short break is always hard for both teams. Goff still struggles at times with full on pressure and the packers bought it all game long.

They couldn’t convert any fourth downs and that came back to bite them bad.

Good points Gorg (re Lions)

As for the Packers ... coming off 2 QB's with such talent (over a 30 year stretch) it's the smart move to not get your hopes up 

Up until today Love has been hard to judge ... at times both good and not so good (often within the same games)

But today gives a bit of hope although the playoffs is a stretch

We're a QB based organisation so there's a lot on Jordan's shoulders

As for tomorrow, I've a feeling the J E T.S will take it  right up to Miami

Love is literally on a hiding to nothing, if he pretty much doesn’t become the greatest QB ever then he wasn’t worth letting Rodgers go. I truly feel for the kid, Smith and Goff are proving that QB’s can get better in the right location/scheme from time to time.

The most impressive thing with Love has been his ability to put the ball in the exact right spot for the WR, not just the right area, but the right spot.

Yeah and how about Stafford ... one year out of Detroit and he wins big!  He was good at the Lions but needed a new environment

Stafford was always good, but never had multiple good parts all at once at Detroit. 
For me, like Matt Ryan and Andrew Luck. Very good QB’s but never quite got the full arsenal at once, although Ryan should have won a SB.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
