@Macca that catch was amazing, but for me the turning point was cook catch and fumble. He does it way too often, even when he was with the Rams. Gave all the momentum to the Buccs and all turnovers were within 25yrds. The saints threw points at them.

The other to a lesser degree was the penalty when they returned the kick from Harris and the loss of Harris for the game, he was great the week before and the saints had all the early momentum.

Good luck @Macca! I’m cheering Rodgers and the boys on!

Apprehensively confident* we'll get over the line Gorg but I'm always aware that in this sport 2 errors can lead to 14 points

That's the beauty of the NFL ... no game is parcelled up until it's done.  Steelers found that out the hard way with their errors against the Browns

So if GB have zero turnovers and Rodgers is at his best we should be good enough to win.  But Tampa could have a day where everything goes right for them on offence ... if that happens they probably win

But for the neutrals the QB match-up is something to look forward to.  40% chance of snow with a crowd of 6500 allowed into Lambeau

 

*Is there such a thing as apprehensively confident?  haha

There is mate, I live there. Dees can be up by 60 and I’m still nervous ?

If Rodgers is kept clean you win easily. If not then it’s tighter. Saints turned it over 4 times, 3 within 20yrds, that’s what killed them.

5/5 on 3rd down in the first qtr. where was this loose coverage and missed tackles last week! 

7 from 10 now which is a poor ratio on defence.  Brady should have been intercepted (the corner didn't commit) on that last TD drive before half time after that Rodgers throw was intercepted.  2 errors within minutes

2nd fumble by Jones costly as well.  They have targeted him because of his lack of size ... the ball pops out accordingly.  Points conceded as a consequence. 

Brady knows how to take advantage like no other. 

28 - 17 now but we need to curtail Brady (somehow)

28 - 23 now but Brady & Tampa will probably get at least 2 chances to score points.  And Rodgers maybe only the 1 time if Tampa eat up the clock

Unless there is an error/turnover from either team that leads to a score

MASSIVE PICK!!!

Brady's receivers have now dropped a few catches ... or through the hands

I didn’t like the call going for 2, means if they get a FG here you need a TD and 2pt con.

Johnson makes some big catches last few weeks

Agreed ... tactically it was a poor percentage play going for 2

That was Brady at fault I reckon. Bad throw. Or Evans was meant to be further down the field but got held up with the slight grab at the start of the route.

Massive rush!!! Forced the pick! Huge play.

And GB can't make the most of it ... twice

GB running game not a factor ... we've reverted to kind.  Jones is too small,  gets hit hard,  out of the game.  We needed a running game on the last 2 drives

8 point game now (should be 7)

31-23

So the Packers need a TD & a 2 point conversion just to tie things up.  4:33 left in the game

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
