A big 2 points on offer for week 13 so get the thinking caps on chaps. 

Do any of us go early with the Saints or is that a trap-game? 

Surely KC & the Rams win but might there be an upset?  One thing we know by now is that nothing is ever straightforward.  Unless it is straightforward.

Best of luck!

And it's good to see a number of teams with excellent D vying for playoff spots.  They say that defense often wins out but the offense of KC,  Rams, Saints is quite something. 

The teams with the best balance are probably still the Pats & Steelers whilst the D of the Chargers,  Dallas & Chicago has been quite miserly but Dallas' ability to score is an issue for them. 

The Chargers run home isn't easy ... @ Steelers,  vs Cinci,  @ KC,  vs Ravens,  @ Denver. 

By contrast,  Houston can win out and could quite possibly snag the 1 or 2 seed in the AFC ... vs Browns,  vs Indi,  @ Jets, @ Eagles,  vs Jags

Wow Texans run is good for them.

 

LBeen awesome watching NFL live over here... Rams & KC was unreal. Thanksgiving was good apart from Falcons @ Saints! 

Saints @ Dallas should be a good one on TNF before I flight out Friday morning!

Saints, Bears, KC.... easiest week in a while.


Saints,  Rams,  KC

Saints in trouble ...  scoreless at half time.  Trailing by 10 so it isn't a large lead.

Credit to Dallas though ... they have turned things around after looking like they were done a month ago

 

Had a feeling the Saints were their for the picking.. Dallas has played well over the last couple of weeks & the Saints were due 10 straight is a long run

Last thing I said as I left work was “Cowboys any chance, the other guys said nope, I said, zi don’t know, I hope they win... yay cowboys!

Opens things up for your Rams now in terms of the 1 seed Gorg ... as always,  a lot can change in the NFL from week to week.

Yup, we need to win out if we want home advantage, not going to be easy but it’s in our hands.

Not bad from the Cowboys I’ll give them that. Loving D Lawrence at the moment and Prescott did no harm to his contract leverage. 


Rams, Bears, Chiefs

Dayum. All those tipsters tipping late get the help this week of not picking the Saints.

Yep,  risk/reward didn't pay off.  Still,  there's still a fair bit to play out and the key is to remain within striking distance before the 3 points is on offer for week 17. 

And there's always the post-season tipping comp as a consolation prize ... might spruce that comp up a bit with a few more chances at gaining points.  But I'll leave that till later on at a more relevant time.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
