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

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) 

Edited by Macca

13 years... man how time flies.

My Physio who I saw yesterday was talking about here time in Milwaukee working with the buck and how crazy the tow got when the packers were playing. said she had never seen the likes.

 

Combine, then draft and the trades, soo enough its September and the season is off and running again!

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
