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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
