[censored] Jags, I just lost my bet cos they let the last TD in. 

 

 

 

Bahaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jags, wow. Anytime to go into Pittsburgh & win is big but to do it in a playoff game.. Hats off to them. Congrats Clint. I actually think the Jags defense could give the Pats & Brady some trouble. 

Just shows as others have posted above, all our teams(I think) in this forum have had some recent success as in making the playoffs in the last 2 seasons alone... Would be hard to say the same about the AFL with a group of different supporter bases. 

 

Bikes were great 8n the first half, starting the second half well. Want to see them attack and not try and slow the game or hold it up. Only 17 pts.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnndddddd just like that, 21-20 to th3 saints with 3:01left.

Feels to me like Vikings will get a FG... And it'll be Brees with about 30 seconds or something...

Lots of Eagles fans want Vikings to win.

Nope. He misses the tackle and takes out his own player behind. Doubt he would have caught Diggs but...

 

wow

Oh my god... Just when you think you've seen it all in this sport :blink:

I thought we could win but did not think it would take 45 points. Saw about half the game so will be watching both replays tonight.

Had he just slowed up and put his arms out he'd have at least stopped him where he caught it. I sort of get why he tried to barrel him... to cause a drop and incomplete pass instead of what looked like a gettable field goal... But man it looked bad. he didn't touch him at all.

He could have just wrapped him up in a tackle & it would have been over.. They wouldn't of had time to get to the line & clock the ball for a FG attempt. All he litreally had to do was hold him up where he was & the Saints win the ball game

Bortles, Foles, Keenum... Brady

Man I hope the Jags win so it’s two of the first 3 in the Superbowl.

It's pick the Pats to win and hope you get it wrong.  That's how I'm viewing it. 

I give the Jags a puncher's chance ... maybe more of a chance than I would have given the Steelers.  New England are -9.5 point favourites.

As for the NFC Championship game - that's a toss of the coin even though the Vikings are -3.5 point favourites.

I reckon Diggs would have managed to dive over the line, seeing as he did land on his feet. But yes. Either way... It's the right move. What I mean was I think he was going glorytown. Hit him hard down the middle and shake him up... making the ball drop incomplete. It wasn't the right move, but I can sort of see how the blood would have rushed to his head. What's stunning is that these are some of the most high pressure athletes in the world today. That poor kid will be replaying that the rest of his life.


Leaderboard in the Comp (post-season)

5 - Macca

4 - Go the Biff,  Dappa Dan

3 - JV7,  Clintosaurus,  Gorgoroth

Remembering that it's 2 points for each winner in the Championship games with 3 points up for grabs for the Super Bowl winner.

I'm actually in line for the 3-peat in the post-season tipping comp ... not bad for the world's worst tipster.

The saving grace is that it didn't happen in a Super Bowl. 

The Seahawks not handing the ball off to beast-mode in the dying seconds of that Super Bowl will haunt that organisation and their fans forever. 

And I still maintain a 60/40 stance on last year's SB - the comeback by the Pats was greater than Atlanta blowing that lead.  Many will disagree of course but I don't believe any other team could have come back from a 28 - 3 deficit in a SB.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
