@layzie you know how much I dislike the niners but I really felt for you and the others.

Losing Dre was huge. KC hit those area he would have patrolled. Shanahan is like McVay, McVay will call passing plays when the right calls are the run, as you said, 80s vs 120s is insanely big. And with all the blitzes I was expecting a Kittle/CMC screen fest. 
I felt similar after the pats loss, I still believe if Kupp didn’t do his ACL we win that game as McVay tried to call the game like Kupp was available.

It really was massive losing Dre. Seeing replays when he was in the game he was flying around in coverage and Burks just wasn't up to filling his shoes. 

That shirt pass to the dirt before the FG irks me even more now. You need all those smaller details right when you want to beat Mahomes and Reid and there were just too many situations like this. 

Still so numb, hopefully footy comes along and is the circuit breaker.

Nabbed Leonard Floyd. 

2 years $20m. Love this signing. Doesn't get hurt, gets to the QB and he's better than Gregory, Ferell and maybe Chase Young who will all leave.

Not sure how he'll go in a wide 9 front, I don't believe he's played in one before.

Kirk Cousins to the Falcons, thank God we have a QB! However not sure at his age & coming off an achilles a 4 year deal is all that wise.... He strikes me as a Matt Ryan 2.0

Jimmy G is a Ram…

13 and 3 coz we're with Jimmy G! 

Fascinating move, more than capable backup. 

Does that mean we can have Carson Wentz now? 😜

I mean I figured we would have just stayed with Wentz, but Jimmy is a step up on recent form. But I also hope to never see him on the field other than when we have won the game so convincing that they take off the starters.

The plus side is that in a good team he's a guy that can win you some games. 

You just hope it's not too many where that needs to happen.

Usually so pumped for draft day but February knocked the stuffing out of me. You get to a point where it probably doesn't matter who you draft if you can't make big play calls in big moments.

I do believe we've taken a lineman that can play all 5 spots though, promising.

I'm stoked we took a kicker! 

But our first two picks look very good.

Rams the likely team to play a game at the MCG in 2025... I will be there!!!

I'll be there too if tickets aren't impossible to get. Been way too long since this sport graced our shores.

Aiyuk has requested a trade.

 

I honestly think thjs is to force the niners hand one way or another, but they have a record of signing their players later into the pre season.

I cant see them letting him go.

    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
