Not happy with the expensive extension to Dak's contract, and McCarthy as silly as always wasting TO that cost points.

Ha ha!  Welcome to McCarthyism (II) !

You did win comfortably, do we need to prepare ourselves when you lose a game?!! 🙄😁

I'm not a fan of Mccarthy but that was an excellent road win against a good team

Defence played very well.

Yes, a lot of positives for the Cowboys considering it was a virtual pick 'em game (-1.5 Dallas)

A loss wouldn't have ended your season but any win on the road is often a bit of a bonus

Nah I have accepted my team's fate. Anything positive is a bonus. 😅

Took me many years but I have come to realise that we won't win anything until JJ is no longer controlling the team.

Well, right now, I'd rather be in your position than numerous other teams

Dallas 25-1 to win the SB is juicy odds

I just don't trust the McCarthy - Dak combination.

Dak falls short under the spotlight of playoffs.

McCarthy is always going to make silly mistakes at play calling or time management.

I hope I am wrong, I would be happy with a Conference championship appearance.

Tough loss to my Rams, we lost our third string Left tackle in the early part of the game and Nacua as well.

We played bloody well until over time when the Lions steamrolled us.

No idea who plays left tackle cos we still have another week until ours is off suspension. Nacua is also a huge loss.

Well, on the road to the possible appearance in the NFC Championship game, you could try and enjoy the journey

With regards to my team, as it stands right now, without Jordan Love for the foreseeable future, it's going to be tough for the Packers 

But, we're still an outside chance for a wild-card spot if Love gets back sooner rather than later, so you never know

Mind you, with Dallas at 25-1 or even 20-1 to win the SB, it seems that Vegas agrees with you!! Hee hee

Que sera sera 😆

I think I should apply the same low bar expectations for the Dees during next season.

Well, these external reviews have worked big time for the Cats, Tigers & Pies so I'm all in on barracking for the external review!!

New season, new coaching staff, new QB, roster turnover, same old Falcons 🤮

Both teams should get a possession in overtime.  The current ruling doesn't seem fair to me

And I'm not talking through my hip pocket either (as far as I can remember, GB have never been on the receiving end as the Rams were today)

Chances are that after a tough game, the toss of the coin before overtime has a big influence on the result.  Both defences can be banged up so a decent offense can afford to be quite patient in advancing the ball

Just one possession for each team makes sense

Same with my tipping 🙄


So our third string LT has a MCL, Nacua is on IR so misses at least 4. 

No idea who plays LT this week but it can't be the same guy who stepped in on Sunday.

Falcons are the St Kilda of the NFL 😆

Big game today!

A lot of eyes will be on Aaron Rodgers with regards to his overall ability at the ripe old age of 40

In his last year at GB, he was sacked a lot, but the offensive line was banged up back then 

And the Jets defence being strong is another big factor that Rodgers wouldn't have seen a lot of

As for the 49ers, they are coming off a SB loss so it will interesting to see how they bounce back

McCaffrey being out for San Francisco is a blow (calf) 

And a year on, Purdy could be even more of a weapon

49ers 28  Jets 18

It does, But I don't think they ever want to go down that path. 
TBH their offence ran over us like a freight train, could we have scored on a possession... possibly, but we lost that game when we had a penaly on 1st and goal from the 1, that we scored a TD off, then later not going down and instead running out of bounds and stopping the clock and then the last one was Stafford missing Kupp, and he just missed him. If Stafford have half a second more then he makes that pass but the LT being over run all second half meant Stafford released it slightly early.

I thought McCaffrey was playing but limited snaps, so that's a big change.

All eyes will be on Aaron, over 600days since he played a full game with the packers.

The Falcons could win the NFC South, all the same, as 9 or 10 wins could get it done.  A knockout hope 

Carolina have no chance and Tampa & the Saints are both flakey

In fact, my top 4 overall in the NFC sits at Dallas, 49ers, Eagles & the Lions

After that, it's hard to find a team that could legitimately challenge

I want Rodgers to win one more Super Bowl imo the best QB in the last 30 years. Yes, that includes Brady.

It would be great to see Rodgers turn it on and he will have at least a few big performances in him 

But Champion players just can't do it all the time when they get older (Brady being the outlier) Plus, if they hit him hard it will take it's toll

His best chance, and the Jets best chance, is if he is used in a Brady-like way with protection being the main focus

Long, deep, accurate throws?  Maybe, but he's 40

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
