My bold strategy didn't pay off 

It has for some, including this season already

There is often a trap game, but predicting those occurances is tricky

Last year (and the year before) we had 2 x 4 week stretch's where no one gained a point

In fact, 2 seasons ago 2 participants failed to gain a point at all! 

But we've changed things a bit where 1 point is awarded for 2 out of 3 (ain't bad)

    Yeah the meatloaf should stop the zero points happening again.

     

    Talk of Stafford being traded is being whispered around. And I've even heard Kupps name.

    Tua has been placed on IR. 

    So Miami down their QB for 4 weeks minimum, I think this could end their season as a serious threat. (not that I thought they would win the SB)

    Will he be forced to retire though?

    That would definitely get the Dolphins down the pecking order very fast.

    They said they have done it so he doesn't have to feel like he has to rush back and he can take time to consult specialists in concussion and not have media asking when he is back etc.

    So as for retirement i assume that will depend on the advice, I mean this was a innocuous hit, I mean he hits Damer in the chest/arm so its not even helmet to helmet. 

    If he does go on, he needs to slide when he runs, this was an avoidable hit and one he should have slid on.

    No tipping the Niners again this week, another shock upset would be trouble but Gorg hanging it on me would be double.

    It never ceases to amaze me how few QBs actually know how to slide properly. I used to think it was a basic fundamental of being a QB but there are quite a lot who don't do it well consistently. Guys like Russell Wilson or Kyler Murray are naturals but it almost seems like if you didn’t play baseball as a kid or in college it’s just something you have to learn on the fly. I get it that players are competitive and want those extra yards but you’ve got the slide rule to help you, why risk it?

    As Aaron Rodgers once said: “Slide, you’re too damn talented.”

    Yeah I would be learning that technique for protection but if you start and they hit you its also 15yrds! And when you watch that hit, Tua just runs into him with his head down. He essentially knocks himself out.

    Have you seen Jayden Daniels attempts at sliding? Next Tua waiting to happen.

    They are seriously suggesting we give up Stafford and a third rounder for young… who pays these fools?

    Media across all sports are getting dumber whilst being paid more.

    Rams have missed 33 tackles so far... Most in the NFL, niners have the least missed with 6. We play each other this week... Ha ha oh boy.

    Kittle out for the Niners helps a lot, I honestly think this game will be decided by the defence, and the Niners have a clear advantage there.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
