Yeah Lions haven't been great lately and GB at lambeau never easy but the no Rodgers factor tipped me

Here's a question for you Macca.

As the rule maker... is there any precedent here for a tie breaking procedure? I know we've had it in the past that it's just multiple winners... but as an idea: Two or more players end on the same amount of picks, it goes to sudden death in playoffs. You pick out of the four wild card games. If no winner decided, goes to Div round. Then Championship round. Then superbowl.

Well,  in the first year we had joint winners so I'd rather leave it as it is (for continuity) Think of it like the Brownlow ... you get all those hard-earned votes (points) and whilst they used to have a countback,  they changed it to joint winners because it was deemed unfair to lose that way.  It's a good suggestion though Dappa.  Happy to revisit the discussion in the NFL off-season if you like. 

From memory, in year 1 both cowboy_from_hell & Strafford were equal leaders going into the last week but both picked up 3 points with different tips.

Extending the season proper tipping comp would effect the post-season comp as well ... that sort of just evolved because people kept tipping into the post-season (with scorelines)

I see. Didn't realise there was a post season one. Sweet.

No worries mate .. as I said,  happy to discuss in the off-season. 

I reckon most here would rather leave the tipping part as it is though ... the design is very simple and it's low maintenance.  Obviously a bit frustrating but that's the fun of it. 

By the way,  I reckon the Lions are a big chance but I just couldn't pick against the Packers - not against a divisional rival anyway.  My Detroit supporting mate knows he's going to cop some grief if they don't defeat a Rodgers-less Packers though. 

Is your game against the Broncos a trap game or do the Eagles just keep on their winning ways?

I'm usually glass half empty. I talked friends out of picking the Eagles last week against San Fran, as I thought they'd get to Wentz with their front 7. Which they did. But I didn't realise how bad San Fran were.

This week is way scarier. Wentz won't be able to pass as easily, and they have Von Miller. But oddly, I feel better about it than I did San Fran. Based mostly on the fat that Brock Osweiller is playing. The Eagles D has been absolutely outstanding, even though Wentz has got all the press. I feel like it might be the same as last week. A game where the Eagles screw up for the first half, but are bailed out by the D. Then they just lean on them to close the game out.

8-1. MVP level QB. Ajayi. It's all getting a bit Richmond.

It's always fraught with danger including the Thursday night game in one's tips but I can't see anyone getting 3 right this week anyway ... but you never know. 

There may be a few 0 for 3's though ... that should be worth half a point! :ph34r:

Rieeeght?!!

And yeah. I tell you what tho... One surefire way to get no points this week is to be out of it on Friday. What it was was a classic case of me thinking the Bills and Jets are no good... but also thinking the Bills keep winning so very timidly picking them, and they absolutely humiliate themselves. They're the Freo of tipping.

What say you on Watson? The starting 22 on IR would be a helluva team.

It's just such a real shame ... the kid has shown real star quality and I hope he recovers well and recaptures his form.  A non contact injury too yeah?

I see that the Pats have picked up Hoyer as back up to Brady.

Yeah he was included as part of the deal but there was some salary cap reason why they had to let him hit waivers before taking him.

And yeah. The NFL without Watson and Rodgers. Ugh.

Houston can still win that division but they're without J J Watt as well. 

The Packers would need the Vikes to fall away and we'd absolutely need to defeat the Lions this week (and Hundley would need to show something)

A lot of if's & but's.  Too many in fact. 

Having said that the Lions continue to disappoint.  They get opportunities and they keep blowing those chances.

If someone had have told me at the start of the season that the Vikings will win the division with Case Keenum as their QB,  I would have had a good laugh. 

But here we are.

Agreed. I watched him and had to grundgingly say he's managing the game as he should. I sort of hope Bridgewater comes in, as an NFL fan... but sort of also don't cos I'm still behind the Eagles.

 

Going out of the tipping on the Thursday sucks haha! I was never really confident in the Bills, the Jets aren't that bad. Shocking news for Watson, it's bad enough missing the rest of this season but when you do an acl and the following year is basically gone too, an even bitter pill to swallow

Keenum is playing quite well and that's backed up by his numbers.  It's just a bit unexpected.  His QBR is 88.8 which places him 16th and he's not far off the top 10 with that rating.

The Vikes almost certainly would have thought it was going to be a choice between Bradford and a returning Bridgewater.   Rodgers is out indefinitely and the Lions are the Lions. 

However,  Minnesota have got a tough 5 weeks coming up ... @ Washington,  vs Rams,  @ Detroit,  @ Atlanta and then @ the Panthers.  It's not over yet but 9 wins might win the division.  The Bears could win 4 more (maybe 5) but that probably won't be enough.  Much will depend on whether Detroit can get their act together.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
