Not long now guys. How's everyone's team training camps going? I'm hoping my 49ers can at least get 4 wins or above this season. 

I'll be interested how Shanahan goes as the HC of the 49ers, from things I've read he was a very controlling offensive co-ordiantor & can sometimes be a bit stubborn & cute with his play calling, SB again another example... Reading stuff out of the Atlanta camp was how the new OC has let the players have a say & run things that suit them.. Having said that Shanahan orchestrated one of the greatest offenses last season so will be interesting how he goes as HC, I'm assuming he will be calling plays on offense... Goodluck to him.

I've heard similar things so it will be a bit up the air for a bit. I do think offense minded coaches are the way to go currently with it being a passing league. His Superbowl gaff was pretty hard to miss but hopefully he can bring something.

Hoyer as QB won't get us to a superbowl but I think he can win us a few games, Garcon knows Shanahan and brings some experience. Who knows!

Hopefully terrible... I like seeing the niners lose :)

Ha ha ... I'm very much the same with the Packers divisional rivals.  Especially the Bears.  Packer fans really hate the Vikings as well. 

I've got a mate who is a more recent convert to the NFL and he picked the Lions just so we can be rivals (he's also a bloody Collingwood supporter!)

The divisions staying with the same make-up of teams for long periods must build up intense rivalries over there.  The Packers/Bears rivalry is an ancient one and is ongoing.

Outside of the NFC North I always take a keen interest in the NFC East games.

Doesn't help when in my time of watching NFL, majority kid the time the niners have been decent and the Rams crud.

Not a lot wrong with those predictions. I do feel the Giants will push the Cowboys and I actually wouldn't be surprised if the Panthers bottomed the NFC South. 

Mack will take out the sacks steaks. That's an absolute lock

Rams beat the Raiders, some decent highlights with Goff stepping up in the pocket, good to see. 

Definitely a QB that will do better the more help he gets. Was always going to be a challenge going from those wide open PAC-12 offenses. Hopefully we see more

Agree. Seems we are playing him exclusively out of the shotgun all pre season.

So who's up for the tipping comp again?

If we can get 5 or 6 participants, I'm happy to run it. 

For newcomers, the tipping comp involves finding 3 road winners (from 3 picks) each week.  I point for each time you nail it and we normally have about 8 'bonus-point' weeks.

Yep count me in Macca, I enjoy the tipping comp! 

In again


That makes 4 starters so far in the tipping comp ... a shout out to @cowboy_from_hell @Dappa Dan @DeeSpencer @titan_uranus @Go the Biff @pantaloons @DemonDave & @layzie

If any of you blokes are keen to participate in the tipping comp,  just join in whenever.  We'll probably end up with at least 5 or 6 players so it's all systems go.  Any newcomers are welcome of course.

Missing a week or 3 or starting late may not necessarily effect your chances of winning ... there are numerous weeks when no one gets a point or points.  However, the bonus weeks is where the comp is usually won & decided.

Bonus weeks are weeks 2, 5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15 & 17 (2 points are on offer with week 17 worth 3 points)

It's easy to play ... just select 3 road teams in any particular week who you think can win ... if all 3 win you get the points.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
