Take the 3 points and give the ball back to Brady with 2 minutes left?

Don't poke the bear

On that last drive GB's lack of a running game shown up again.  The opposition know we had to throw it and plan accordingly

Too one dimensional

    Yeah thought Rodgers should have ran then tried on 4th

    The coach calling has been below par by the Packers.  But Tampa have been too good anyway despite Brady being intercepted 3 times

    Thus,  the Packers have had their chances on offence ... but the last 3 drives yielded just 3 points.  No decisive running game being the biggest issue and the defence is average

    Agree on the calling. Been some weird calls.

    Well done to Tampa ... they go to the SB in their home town after winning 3 games on the road in the playoffs

    13 years in the wilderness.  Brady comes to town and they're at the big dance

    Cracking contest. In the office today so watched on mute but I loved the way the game was being officiated UNTIL it was officiated. The spirit of the game was great for most of it just letting them play but then going against all that with some eyebrow raising calls. Definitely would have backed Aaron in on 4th down, I know Tom had started getting jittery so I sort of get it but I think they just had to go for broke there. 

    Amazing what Tampa have been able to do, Arians has done a great job.

    Just a reminder that we play for 10 points in the SB (5 for the win & 5 for the right margin)

    As for the 2 out in front, who blinks first!  haha

    In actual fact, 5 participants can still win outright with 6 combos available (Tampa 13+ anyone?)

    straight swap with Goff?

    Rodgers is peeved but I reckon once things settle down he'll remain a Packer

    LaFleur is the one that will be feeling the heat even though he gets a bit of grace considering it's his 2nd year as head ciach

    He made some amateurish calls under pressure but I reckon he stays on (for now)

    The underlying issue is structural & player personnel ... defence against the run & pass defence remains average and our running game can't be relied on.  Jones should be the no.2 not the main man

    Fournette was the difference between the 2 sides yesterday.  Each of his runs impacted

    We ask too much of Rodgers so it stands to reason that Aaron expects to be the main man all the time

    Drafting a QB (Jordan Love) in the first round of the draft last year should be looked upon as a smart insurance move by all & sundry (including Rodgers himself)

    And you can keep Goff!  haha

    Yeah jones needs another, Dillon looked decent at times this year.

     

    If Goff is to remain then we draft bulls at the OLine position, have to. Akers taking the next step will also help Goff as the run game is the first and most important piece of the McVay offence, but if they can I reckon they try and move him on.

    We'll have to wait and see. I don't think he'll leave this year with Green Bay's window open and a coach who's proven to be an excellent play caller. I dunno, there'd have to be a bit to happen to make it a possibility.

    I’d be stunned if he did, but if he did and came to the Rams I’d be throwing a party.

    Can't he just come to us instead? ?

    Rams are openly seeking a trade for Goff, Stafford to the Rams is building momentum and Stafford has supposedly said he would like to go to LA.

    Chiefs centre and WR are on covid reserve. Need to pass all Tests leading up to play, but this means they aren’t training. And if the centre doesn’t ply that could hurt the chiefs.

    • 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.
