    Question for you all. 

    Brady or Rodgers both at their best.

     

    Late to the party, but I take Rodgers.

    I actually take Manning over the period when I fell in love with NFL. Had him just ahead of Brady. Both had already done enough to be first ballot hall of famers when I watched my first game. But there's really no denying what Brady's done. For so so long... Manning in his 40th year was throwing ducks all over the place and had a great defence get him over the line. Brady won the MVP and I watched him throw 500 yards in a superbowl at the same age.

    That said, I have the same "Rodgers under Belly" theory as some people. I just love watching him play. In a way I don't with Brady.

    It's a great question... which prompts the next one... Brady 5 rings... Rodgers 1. Underachieved?

    Yes and no. Mainly yes but he has copped injuries a few times which has halted the packers. And the fact the packers have never seemed to get a ver good running back and oline for Rodgers still astounds me, they have always been decent but always relied on Rodgers scrambling to get them out of the shite.

    Broncos were good in NFC too.

    Yeah that's a good point. As a single player should he have won more superbowls? Maybe. Could he have played better individually? Hmm. That would be a hard case to argue.

    Broncos NFC?

    No,  Rodgers has overachieved.

    Much like Robbie Flower did at the Demons.  Robbie would have gotten into the team of the century if our team had have had more success.  The cruel reality.

    The Packers have underachieved in more rrcent times but it's not like we've been a basket-case.  Many NFL fans of poorly performed teams are probably envious of Green Bay. 

    But from an overall perspective it is different again #13  # Green & Gold ??

    At their best is Rodgers because he can scramble, he can avoid rushers and throw bombs, he can do anything.

    That said, if I had to start from scratch with both players aged 30 and I had a good defense and special teams and enough money to buy some quality offensive players but not break bank I'd go with Brady. Here's why: Obviously any QB is reliant on their scheme and coaching, but I think it's easier to create the system Brady plays in and it's safer for the QB.

    This is nitpicking and most will disagree with me but I think Rodgers isn't as easy to coach as people think. I'm not saying he has a good coach, I don't think he does, but he shredded the Bears just staying in the pocket and putting his receivers to work when he had to. He should do that more often but I think he likes to scramble around and make the big plays. 

    The knee injury could be a blessing in disguise for Rodgers because he should play more like Brady. Develop insane chemistry with a small group of receivers and receiving backs and just take what's there mechanically marching down the field.

    The obvious thing to say there is McCarthy isn't Josh McDaniel's so it's not that easy but I think Rodgers has played at too high a level for too long for any half decent coach to not create a system based on his timing and accuracy if he wanted it.

    Start of the 4th of the early games and some crazy score lines already, got to see if they stay the same way.

    Led pretty much the whole game... just can’t seal it.

    Vikes ice the kicker and the FG is no good!

    But Rodgers getting them in range in 31 seconds with no time outs was huge.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.
