I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Is it just me or does anyone else hate tipping this year?

Yes it's been a bit tiresome but one consolation is that anyone can still win outright

Usually with 2 weeks to go at least half the field is out of the running

Puka Nakua! What a steal in the 5th round.

Stroud will win OROY award but Nakua should be making the conversation more interesting, but I can’t see them not going with the QB.

Williams also a 5th rounder from last year is second in rushing only to McCaffrey and Williams missed 4 games.

Haha nice try tipping comp. Going the obvious choices has only ended in tears so something different is required this week..

Bills, Lions, Jaguars 

Eagles are very off the boil at the moment, so I wasn't tempted to tip the Giants against them this week. Too much of a long shot though so i thought better of it.

Chargers played well yesterday, unlucky in the end. I actually thought the last TD for the bills would have stood as to me it wasn’t clear that his knee was still on the ground when the hand touched which would have given the chargers 80+ seconds.

Was a good game to watch.

9 points down start of the 4th. Dak needs to show us what he’s made of now

That early turnover really cost Dallas (RB fumble) ... WR's dropped a few easy catches too

Prescott can't do it all on his own

The way I see it is that Prescott is playing a huge part and is carrying the team

The testing material was New England with Belichick, Brady and their whole team from that era and the their whole all round game

Zac is so talented that we expect miracles

I agree. Dak has stopped throwing picks which has made a huge difference. He’s playing well. Both 4th quarter drives led to scores. He’s become dependable. I had my doubts he ever would.

the cowboys oline could not protect against the dolphins pass rush (which was very good) and that was the difference in a tight game.

Good game between Boys and Dolphs. Tbh, both won’t make the Super Bowl, both are not quite good enough. 
Boys could be much better but the penalties they give away are epic!

The roughing the passer penalty against parsons was very harsh. Extended the drive which Miami translated into a touchdown. Had a big impact on the result.

True, but so did a lot of the other penalties that the cowboys do week in week out and against the good teams they get punished. 
It’s hard enough to win playoffs, it’s harder on the road when you have a poor record, harder still when you aren’t beating teams with winning records and then on top of all of that are one of the most penalised team in the NFL. 
Cut out 25-50% of the penalties, especially the false starts/ pre snap penalties and then they are prob a much better team. 
I mean they may go on a run and everything clicks then they are up to their eye balls in it, but go to SF for the championship game and give up 100+ yards in penalties and try and win.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
