I'm still nervous the Rams will move on from Stafford. 

If anything I'd rather stay with Stafford and be looking to stock pile some picks in the coming years that we might be able to trade for a higher pick to get a young QB.

I don't think they will move from Stafford. That would be a Raiders thing to do.

    Really hope @Dappa Danis enjoying this. Great job mate.

    Local lads Hall & Oates might be front & centre in those Philadelphia bars right now (just after 2am?!)

    Dappa used to spend a bit of time in the States so he'll no doubt be celebrating hard!!!

    Eagles 7-12

    i actually think of Eagles win they prob do it by 14+

    Good call, what a shocking performance by the Chiefs although the dominance of the Eagles D line just gave them nothing. Mahomes couldn't pull any tricks out of his sleeves though, just had absolutely nothing to give.

    Congrats Philly, well deserved, can't believe Sirianni is a SB winning coach. Was a couple of losses from getting fired earlier in the year you'd think.

    The front four of the eagles D were the Most Valuable People.

    They were the most valuable people, most important players and very important persons

    Donald Rumsford-like, layz

    Not-noticed important players (the OL), barely noticed important people (the DL) and always noticed important persons (QB's, RB's, Andy Reid)

    They probably had the best offensive line this year as well as the best D-line. Great example of building a team from the trenches.

    The Eagles flew under the radar a trifle too ... Detroit & the NFC North, The Bills, Chiefs & Ravens in the AFC were often the main talking points

    The final real pointer was the Eagles demolishing the up & coming Washington in the NFC Championship

    And KC's luck ran out after so many narrow wins

    But hey, isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!!

    Josh Allen wins NFL MVP

    Lamar Jackson a close up 2nd

    Saquan Barkley a long way back in 3rd spot.  Yet his season definitely rivals Adrain Peterson & LaDanuan Tomlinson (who both won the award as RB's)

    Could he have played any better? Averaging 142.7 yards per game

    He's the main reason the Eagles got to the SB (in my view)

    Funny enough the Rams got the closest to the eagles in the playoffs.

    Gratz Macca!

    It was all a bit anticlimactic (a bit like the actual SB!) but nevertheless, someone had to win the post season comp

    More importantly, the regular season comp worked well with the changes in the points system ... kept everyone interested throughout, which is what we wanted

  • Quote

    I might add, @Gorgoroth

    The new regular season tipping comp points system, designed by you !!

    Next year will be the 13th NFL tipping comp ... time flies hey!!

    Now for the footy season and the Mighty Demons!  (I'm quietly confident we will at least play finals because if our list stays relatively healthy, we should get to at least 13 wins)

    It's funny isn't it.

    Wisconsin is undoubtedly a football state. Basketball has a solid following there with the Bucks and Badgers but football is definitely king.

    I did think of getting an American footy for the winners to sign and keep for the year

    But getting people together is problematical ... maybe Crown on a Sunday during the playoffs?  Week 2 of the playoffs

    Bring a mate or 2?  I've got 3 or 4 mates who have a keen interest in the NFL

    Worth a try, would take the DL NFL tipping group to a whole new level!

    Rams have given Stafford permission to seek a trade... Flub me.

    Yeah what's going on?

    Raiders very interested.

    So I'm hearing that both want for Stafford to stay and Stafford will accept under the $50m he wants to stay in LA. But they need to come to this arrangement.

    But Raiders and Giants are coming hard, but would he leave for a little more money and go to a team rebuilding? 

    If he does go, Rodgers is keen to play for LA and would be cheap so the Rams might be thinking, let stafford walk, get picks, have Rodgers at QB for a year or two and see what happens, trade up, not this draft but the next and get a QB then as the QB class is not great going by the experts.

    Interesting two weeks coming up I reckon.

    Can Rodgers really give the Rams much more than Stafford at this point of his career. It would have to be based around a cap saving surely but I just think why go through the whole new QB and learning a new playbook thing if you don't have to just yet?

    Much cheaper and I heard that Rodgers last 9 games or so were rated up there with the best in the league.

    We have also hired his old QB coach as ours has been promoted to another team iirc and I honestly think he could easily lay out playbook after being in Green bay.
    Rodgers has praised McVay multiple times over the years too.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
