Goff just stood and copped a hit on a 4th and 5. 

What a play.

The Lions are banged up on defence but their offense puts enormous pressure on whoever they are playing ... both physically and mentally

 

Edit: And right on cue the Vikes stop the Lions and gain excellent field position after the Lions were forced to punt it away

Edited by Macca

 
 

Vikes go for it on 4th down and come up short ... and against the free-scoring Lions, that can be the mindset

Teams have to match TD's with TD's against Detroit


Going to be tough for the Vikings now ... trailing 9-24 early in the 4th

Need to score a TD on this drive

Vikes have been bullied in this second half.


Congratulations to @Go the Biff for winning the tipping comp!  Well done, GtB!

You are now a 2 time winner joining the other 2 time winners ... @Gorgoroth   @Clintosaurus &@DeeSpencer

It was a close encounter all season long but you kept gaining points week in, week out.  And that's what won it for you

And it went down to the last match of the season where @titan_uranus would have got up with a Vikings win

But for the victor, go the spoils!

More details later on, including some info on the post season tipping comp and the 'Hall of Fame'

But just a heads up on the post season comp (while I'm here)... we should be able to get enough starters as I'm assuming we're all going to be watching the playoffs

Week 1 ... 1 point per win (Home or Away) plus a bonus point for the correct margin (1-6,  7-12 & 13+)

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each correct margin

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct margin

Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin

Leaderboard Tipping Comp (Final)

43 - @Go the Biff (Winner and Gold Medalist)

38 - @Dr. Gonzo  @JV7  @titan_uranus (Silver Medallists) 

37 - @Clintosaurus (Bronze Medal).

36 - @layzie

34 - @Gorgoroth

33 - @BDA

32 - @DeeSpencer@DemonDave

31 - @Macca

29 - @ElDiablo14

And just a reminder on how the (virtual) medals are allocated... there's no 1st, 2nd or 3rd per se,  just the most amount of points, the 2nd most points and the 3rd most points

That tradition was started 12 years ago and there is no real reason to change things

@Macca goes without saying each year but thanks once again. Makes the season that more interesting! Bring on the post season! 

Cheers Macca.  Thanks for running this. As JV7 said,  it makes the season so much more interesting.  Particularly when your own team is stinking it up.

Bring on the finals. Reckon it's gonna be wild this post season 

Forgot to mention,  really enjoyed the revised points system with more points on offer. Made things a bit more dynamic

Dan Campbell in his post game said to Kevin O'Connell "See you in two week..."

McVay and the Rams...

Close enough to a line ball game according to the bookies ... Vikings -1.5  @ Rams +1.5

Other favourites

Chargers -3.0 @ Houston

Tampa Bay -3.0 vs Washington

Eagles -4.5 vs Packers

Buffalo -9.0 vs Denver

Baltimore -10.0 vs Pittsburgh

Yep thanks Macca, a bit of fun that makes the season that much more enjoyable. Can't believe the season is done already, feels like it flies by.

Hoping the Lions can win the SB but would be fine with anyone except Buffalo, KC and Pittsburgh.

I read that Hurts is still in concussion protocol. He has missed the last two games.

Could be critical and also a few weeks off even if he plays how does that affect him? He wasn’t in perfect sync prior to this so, be an interesting watch.

I saw a tweet which said he can't exit the protocol until attending practice on Wednesday, I'd expect him to be playing this week.

  • 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?
