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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
