50/50 then for Foles?

What is the actual issue with the Wentz injury Dappa?

Apparently the specific injury (back) will keep him restricted in the way he can move for a few months. Nothing to worry about long term, but for now he can't do what he needs to do. And likely can't for a playoff run. 

 

The Browns v Ravens game is a beauty, tense finish coming up.

The Colts/Titans game to decide the winner in the tipping comp ... so after all that it is Clintosaurus vs DeeSpencer for the outright victory.

        Leaderboard in the Comp (dark italics indicates final score)

  • 8 - Clintosaurus
  • 7 - Gorgoroth
  • 6 - DeeSpencer (Colts),  JV7,  layzie,  Dr.Gonzo,  titan_uranus
  • 5 - Dappa Dan (Colts) 
  • 4 - Dee Zephyr (Colts),  Macca (Colts) Go the Biff
  • 3 - Demon Dave

 


Wowee, what a finish in the Browns-Ravens game.

Will be interesting to see what happens to the Steelers from here.

I hope the Browns build on this season for 2019.

Browns couldn't get it done so the Ravens win the AFC North.  That was an exciting finish to the season and we've still got the Colts/Titans game to follow.  Mariota not expected to play so the Colts are favoured.

Apparently if the Colts/Titans game ends in a tie then Pittsburgh gains the wild-card spot.  You just never know.

Oh man, a little a bit of faith in the kicker, around a 57 yarder was it for the Browns should they have attempted the FG?

Wow Eagles. What a wacky end to the year. I've never been in one of those where you're hoping for a win and other results to fall your way to make it. That was fun.

From here I'm bullish on Eagles vs Bears. Bears will be warm favourites but look out for the experienced team and QB.

Saints won't be stopped on the way to NFC Championship game though. It'll be Rams v Saints easy. And rightly so.

Love seeing Steelers miss out too.

Interesting call but a lot of these sorts of calls fall under the 'Unwritten Rule' category DZ.  Seen it happen before where the team with nothing to gain apart from the 'Win' endeavours to win by getting a TD rather than a 3 pointer. 

Therefore,  I wasn't surprised by the call.  Their own fans might have wanted to try for the TD too (or at least get closer to the uprights and then go for the field goal if time is running out) 


Schedule for next week (all times AEDT)

Sunday 8.35am  Colts/Titans @ Houston

Sunday 12.15pm  Seattle @ Dallas

Monday 5.00am  Chargers @ Baltimore

Monday 8.30am  Philadelphia @ Chicago

 

Browns could have run the ball at least once in the final drive. They had 2 timeouts I think.

Ironically the team you're up against in week 1 of the playoffs is the team that helped you get there.   Just hope that Foles gets up for the game as you're almost certainly going to need him up against the Chicago D. 

If you do happen to win you'll be up against the Saints in week 2 I believe where as if Chicago win they will be up against the Rams in week 2.  But I've seen any number of teams win the whole thing after starting out in week 1 of the playoffs (including a number of wild-card teams) 

Anyway,  keep us posted on the Eagles QB position if you can.  

By the way,  Louis Riddick has been singing the praises of the Bears for at least the last month and on Friday he declared them as SB winners.  Defense does travel but the Bears are going to have to travel at least once on the road to get to the SB.  Probably twice. 

And we have a winner in the tipping comp for the 2018 season! 

Congratulations go out to @DeeSpencer  ... well played and well done!  DeeSpencer scored heavily in the 2nd half of the season and even missed a couple of weeks so is a worthy winner.

Hard luck to former winners in @Clintosaurus  & @Dappa Dan  in coming equal 2nd on points gained ... it came down to the very last game to decide things so the whole comp couldn't have been scripted better. 

Another former winner in @Gorgoroth  shared 3rd place on points along with  @Dee Zephyr  and yours truly.

Commiserations go out to @JV7 & @Dr. Gonzo  who both led the Comp for a long period there and then both got passed in the last week.  That's tipping for you!  We might have to start calling you 'Schillaci' JV!

As for @layzie  @titan_uranus  @Go the Biff  & @DemonDave  - there's always the Post Season tipping comp for the 2nd chance!

But thanks to all for participating.  It's been a lot of fun for me this season with a dozen people involved and for a while there I thought we were going to have multiple winners.  But fair play to all in the way that you've participated - my task in running the comp has been made quite easy because of that.  Hope to see you all for the post season tipping comp!

             Final Tally in the Tipping Comp

  • 9 - DeeSpencer

Just can’t manage a silver!

Gratz to all the winners and again thanks for the effort of running it Macca!!!

Whilst I'm here ... had a bit of a small do-over of the post season tipping comp and came up with the following points system.  Remembering that straight winners (home or away) only are required and we've traditionally given scorelines as an add-on. 

But whilst the scorelines haven't been needed previously,  I've incorporated the scorelines into the SB match so as to add some interest and to keep people interested.

Week 1 - For each winner - I point

Week 2 - For each winner - 1 point

Week 3 - For each winner - 2 points

SB -  Winner - 3 points plus ... an extra 2 points if the actual winning score (not margin) of the winning team falls within 3 points of your team's nominated winning score.

Example - Actual score ends up as Ravens 30 Seattle 28

If your scoreline had the Ravens winning and if the score you post up is anywhere from 27 - 33 points for the Ravens,  you'll be awarded 3 points for the win and 2 extra bonus points from the example provided.  n.b.  Your scoreline has to have the Ravens winning to qualify for the 2 bonus points.  The losing team's score in the SB is not relevant with regards to the possible bonus points available. 

So it's fairly straight forward apart from SB week where you can gain a total of 5 points if your scoreline is on the money.  If we can get 4 or 5 starters or more,  we can go ahead with it.  And if you've got some thoughts on the post-season tipping comp,  feel free to express those thoughts.   Anyway,  here are the games for week 1

          Schedule for next week (all times AEDT)

  • Sunday 8.35am     Colts @ Houston
  • Sunday 12.15pm  Seattle @ Dallas
  • Monday 5.00am    Chargers @ Baltimore
  • Monday 8.30am    Philadelphia @ Chicago

The Eagles into the finals you beauty! GO JOHNNO

Thanks again @Macca like I’ve said previous years it’s a great bit of fun the tipping comp! Always adds a little extra interest to the season!

Season has gone quickly once again, can’t believe we’re back into the post season already... FWIW I’m tipping a Saints/Cheifs SB with the Saints winning (as much as that hurts as a rival NFC south)

Latest is he's bruised but will play week 1. Has me worried though looking down the line and seeing Mack coming at you. Two weeks running he's taken heavy hits there.

Well done again on tipping fun Macca. Good to get back on the podium.

 


Cheers @Macca

I wouldn't have won without your generous weekly notifications. And to be honest working some Sunday evenings had me checking demonland late before bed and doing my tips as Shefty was announcing the injuries that worked in my favour. 

Loving the wild card match ups this year, seems a really strong group of teams. 

An early play off prediction - the AFC is underrated and the NFC is a bit overrated. 

An early hope - Colts win so they go play the Chiefs, and the Ravens win and get the Pats match up.

Here's an interesting read from ESPN

Barnwell's 2018 lessons: What this NFL season means for 2019

And the lines for next weekend

Indianapolis @ Houston (-2.5)
Seattle @ Dallas (-2.5)
Chargers @ Baltimore (-2.5)
Philadelphia @ Chicago (-5.5)

Edited by Macca

Thanks Macca,

Would be interested in how the winning tally stacked up against previous seasons. Seems this year more than any a lot of short priced favourites got rolled, knocking us all for six. Was pretty slow going for all until the back end of the season.

Can't believe how quickly this one has gone !

I believe it's the lowest winning total GTB but in terms of degree of difficulty,  it's been off the charts this season so the winning total by DS needs to be looked at that way. 

I think Clint set the high-score record last year of around about 14 or 15 points but I'd have to scroll back to check the other 4 seasons.  Previous to Clint's record the high-score might have been 12 or so. 

One thing I do know is that the last week regularly delivers the 3 points to most of the participants ... but again,  the form is easier to read with teams resting players whilst other teams that have to win usually do so.  With the odd exception such as the Vikings against the Bears.  

Colts 23  Houston 28

Seattle 21  Dallas 24

Chargers 22  Baltimore 27

Philadelphia 17  Chicago 20

  • 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.

    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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
