Didn't see the game just the highlights. It looked like a great game. That Interception by the colts was damn good and Sproles and McCoy looked electric.

    The Colts pick at end of 1st half? Was a sort of hail mary really.... but an athletic take for sure. The Eagles one that won the game was actually a penalty. SHouldn't have been allowed.

    Top game to watch and an excellent win by the Eagles. McCoy & Sproles were terrific and Foles had a good game.

    The Colts could have won it but that interception was costly. Luck was good for the most part and I thought Richardson had a very good game.

    Anyway, there were 7 road winners and I went 0/3 in the comp. Typical.

    The points tally

    0 - Everyone (joint leaders)

    Good game, Sproles is a star.

    Luck will be in the top 3 QB's in three years time, such a complete player even so young.

    Eagles were a early tip of mine to win division and do well in play offs, they will need to lift tho, Colts should have buried them early.

    Luck didn't even play that well, somehow I looked at his stats and he was only on about 60 or so yards in the third quarter... and somehow it felt like he was gonna kill us at any moment. When he got it right, my god, he got it right. When Brees, Brady and Peyton are done, he'll slot in to one of their spots in the top 5. Almost certainly hall of fame.

    Yeah, Luck has already slipped into that role where we don't sort of notice him unless he does something special. He's very good though, all the same.

    That's a huge win for your blokes in the whole scheme of things ... especially when considering your rivals in your division. The Cowboys might be your only competition the way it's shaping up but really, it's yours to lose. The Giants look woeful and RG3 could be out for quite some time (although I've heard he may not need surgery)

    In my division, the NFC North, Green Bay go to Detroit then Chicago in the next 2 weeks whilst Detroit and Chicago both visit the Jets over the next 2 weeks as well. The Vikes are at New Orleans and then host Atlanta.

    I mentioned previously that 9 wins might win the NFC North as I don't believe there's a standout side. Detroit promise much but rarely deliver, Chicago always seem to get a lot of injuries and the Packers leak too many points. The Vikes without Peterson are obviously not as strong. It's up for grabs.

    The NFC West could get interesting if Arizona keep winning ... the Cards next 6 games are ... vs 49ers, @ Denver, vs Washington, @ Oakland, vs Eagles & @ Dallas. They could win 4 of them and be 6/2.

    And New Orleans better get a hurry on in the NFC South ... the Panthers look good and already have a 2 game lead over the Saints and ... Atlanta have some winnable games coming up.

    And how 'bout those Bills & Texans?

    - Yeah massive for Eagles. I definitely didn't think we could win it right up until the penultimate drive, where I thought if they don't go for it on 4th down, we'll win. Still don't really understand how they did it. No way they have the Colts' talent.

    - I have a feeling that right up until week 15 Dallas will be one game behind Eagles and just never go away. Their D is fine. It'll get exposed but has done a great job so far. Their offense is giving up more TDs than they are. Giants are terrible, but not so bad that they'll get Mariotta. RG3 out will probably help Skins in the next few weeks somehow. But yes, put what you got on Eagles to make postseason. After what I saw this morning, I can't see how they'll miss.

    - You've got that right on NFC Norf... WAY too hard to pick. WIll come down to injuries/suspensions/criminal investigations. Though I safely put the Pack ahead of the others in the long run.

    I don't understand what you mean about Jacksonville? The stat counts for everyone regardless of teams. Not an important stat, I'll grant you... but still a bit of fun.

    To come back from 14 down twice to start the season you have to be very good right? Particularly as one of those games will be on the road. So I think it's rare to find a team good enough to come back from behind once but also having the ability to be bad enough to go behind 14. That's my point really. The Eagles come back at Indy was remarkable, that they were ever down 14 to Jacksonville is just as remarkable!

    You've got as much talent on defense as the Colts without Mathis, you've got a way way better offensive line and RB's, not a huge difference between the tight ends and WR's. They've got you covered at QB but sometimes there's only so much a QB can do. I thought they'd beat you being at home, but a close game was to be expected.

    Damn Indy, they haven't drafted or signed FA's very well. They haven't really developed a run of great players or any special systems. But they had 15 years of Manning, a gap year then 15 years of Luck. And they have Houston, Tenn and Jacksonville in their division. If they aren't some of the luckiest sports fans in the world then who is!

    I would argue the Eagles TE outdoes theirs. Especially in that system vs Eagles system.

    And yeah, it's easy being an Indy fan.

    Only team I really like is the Colts to beat Jacksonville, they simply have to win

    And I'll go with the Packers because at least if I'm wrong it keeps the division level for my Bears

    Ravens, Charges, Texans even the Cowboys (bless them) might be the logical pick, but I'm going to be unorthodox and go with:

    The Bucs, to bounce back from 0-2 against back up QB's and shock the Falcons in the Georgia Dome on Thursday night

    Loving the early season form of the Bills. Great for football. The Browns have played pretty nicely as well.

    Also good to see the Saints, Packers, Seahawks and Patriots all get some early losses. Gives everyone a hope that some of those teams won't just roll through the year dominating.

    Surely Washington has to bite the bullet and play Cousins over RGIII even if he's fit? And surely it's Bortles time in Jacksonville?

    Fixed :)

    There's nearly always around 3 new teams that make the playoffs ... often any of those 3 are teams that have played playoffs more recently. Can't remember the last time Buffalo made it though.

    Big game for your blokes this week @ Arizona - an early in the year ... "season definer?"

    With the Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and Broncos coming up on Monday (7mate ... 6.25am) it might be worth having a look at the soundbites and highlights of the Super Bowl played between these 2 teams (produced by NFL films)

    Seattle / Denver 1st half (approx 8 mins)

    Seattle / Denver 2nd half (approx 9 mins)

    I think it's five isn't it? Actually I read somewhere the average is something like 5.8 new teams every year in playoffs...

    Wow ... that's a lot and more evidence on how good this league is.

    Found out that Buffalo haven't made the playoffs since the late 90's so they're overdue. Makes the Demons record look quite good in comparison :)

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
