Well done to DemonDave & Dee Zephyr in gaining 2 points this week - very well earned as they had to tip away from the Chiefs!

Anyway, we're all on the board now with 10 points up for grabs in the last 5 weeks (plus a bonus point available in those 5 weeks)

It's been a real test of patience for all of us in such a weird tipping year but I'm reminded that points are easier to gain at the tail-end of the season - good luck you blokes!

Love looked great today @Macca

He looked as calm in the pocket as a vet. 

I listened to the whole match and the regular Packer commentators were quite impressed with Love's game.  Made a lot of smart decisions from the pocket

The team matched the Chiefs all game too so were worthy winners

But the team is the youngest in the league so hiccups will occur.  Run home isn't tough so we might fill a wild-card spot (vying with half a dozen teams along with your Rams, Gorg!)

49ers super impressive. they are pantsing the Eagles.

Purdy was fantastic and the 49ers are going to be hard to stop

Going into Philadelphia's home field and winning that way was mighty impressive

Of course, in this sport anything can happen and TD's can be scored from fumbles, interceptions or run backs so you never know

Your Cowboys aren't far off leading the NFC East now

Might be decided next Monday night - Eagles @ Dallas!

Might be helpful to have a pie chart. I'll do one later.

Sure to have @Gorgoroth seeing red! 

 

Looks like the large majority here on this thread have teams that are in contention, layz (apart from a couple of exceptions)

Dak playing well. He has options now other than Lamb. Ferguson at TE is playing very well and is developing into a reliable outlet.

Coughing up a lot of points though. Conceding 30-35 points a game won't cut it.

We've been here before with the Cowboys. Look the part but fold when playing quality opposition. Let's see how they go against the Eagles. 

Your boys showing a bit.

Blacked out everything and was prepared to lay the smackdown on any spoilers but made it to 5:30 yesterday.

The Eagles came out flexing their muscles while we couldn't generate any offense at all. Could have easily been another whitewash but in one of the first times on record known to man, Kyle made adjustments and went to a more pass first approach with screens. The classic example of the West Coast offense and using pass plays as if they're running plays.

Purdy utilised the weapons around him but I thought he played a fantastic game after what happened last time. 

The NFC is livened up now and I can't wait to see Eagles and Boys. December will be good viewing peeps. Sit back and enjoy.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
