Commitments kept me away from this site for most of the last couple of months so I only sporadically tipped (plus I lost a bit

of interest in this NFL season when it became apparent the Niners were going to go from Superbowl participants to also rans due to one of the most savage injury lists I've ever seen).
Nevertheless thanks again for putting this on each year @Macca its appreciated as it gets me hyped at the start of every year to have a crack at tipping...

Yeah thanks Dave

And thanks for playing your part.  I usually post up more on the NFL in general but have been quite busy with work this last 2 years

So running the comps has been about it!

Gorg keeps plugging away though and Dappa should be back soon enough as well

It's a great sport to follow in our Spring/Summer as 7Mate broadcasts 2 games a week (and all the playoffs) ... youtube has a host of action & highlights so it's easy to keep up even without cable

The season is way too short though!

Your 49ers have been up and down in the recent past but so much can depend on the QB.  But very good (QB) can work in the absence of exceptional

Need a good team regardless of the QB ... as we saw with Tampa who were good/great everywhere.

To restrict KC to 9 points was remarkable.  Tom,  Gronk,  Fournette,  Jones & Evans were the cream on top (if one believes in the philosophy that defence wins Championships)

RE: Shaw Barrett I loved his game too. Personally would have loved him to get MVP he really set the tone for the game and brought the heat to Mahomes time and time again. Historically though if you don't do something crazy like run a pick back for a touchdown you don't get a look in.

Russell Wilson looks like he is angling towards leaving Seattle!!!

Eagles wanting the same sort of Draft picks for Wentz.... ha ha what!?!?!??

Seems that way for the first time in his career. Made it pretty clear he's unhappy with their line.

Also belated thanks to @Macca for the comp. But not too much thanks because I never come close to winning!

Wilson possibly moving?  I thought he was firmly entrenched at Seattle.  We've seen Goff & Stafford move so you never know

The chat about Rodgers has dissapated but both QB's have sounded-off which disappoints me somewhat.  Behind closed doors is where the chatter should stay

And apparently the Colts offered just 2 x 2nd rounders for Wentz and that's the best offer they've had (according to Ron Jaworski)

Wentz looked like the next big thing until his injuries ... now looks a shadow but I'd like to see him have a clear run at it before drawing a line

I reckon this off season will be brutal. So t think Wilson will traded but will he is already demanding a better oline so he doesn’t get sacked as much.

It's different to what we usually hear from the usual 'get on with the job' Wilson we usually hear. Got that bumper deal just 12 months ago but the guy obviously wants to win. 

I also think Pete Carroll has gone a bit stale in his play calling in recent years, doesn't vary it up much. Does he trust Russell enough? Speculating of course.

There is also rumours of a Wentz ertz and first rounder package. The Eagles oline was putrid. No one was kept clean. He has the skills but wether that knee has really hurt him. He doesn’t move as freely.

On Wilson, he wants a new oline, he blatantly said he is sick of being hit. And wanted to have a say in who they sign and draft.

I hope he leaves. I’d happily not have him in the NFC West. Although we did sack him about 16 times this year.

This is the Dan Patrick interview yeah? Had a bit of a Mick Malthouse Carlton about it :p saying hes been sacked 400 times and 'we need to do better'.

I say get the paperwork out and direct swap for Jimmy G.

There will always be a special sort of hatred for the niners.

I hated the Rams growing up. They were easily our bitterist rivals. But then the greatest show on turf and that Superbowl run a few years ago, you wanted to hate them and did but they just looked so darn good doing it. It would have been like hating Barcelona in their prime. 

The Seahawks on the other hand is such a manufactured hatred, although the Harbaugh vs Carroll thing a few years back brought some feeling to it. Other than that it's just meh and they always beat us anyway.

For me growing up and losing to Montana and Moss was painful and when he retired you though ok, might be ok enter steve Young... sigh. 
 

GSoT was great until we stuff up the SB and gave Brady his first win.

 

And I hate the Seahawks. Pete Carroll annoys me, I hated Sherman (still do) but appreciate Ailson and beast mode. 
oh and hate their fans.

Pete Carroll annoys me too, I can't figure out why other than because it's Seattle. I like the Trojans. I think he's a good coach but I also kind of feel like he lucked out with Wilson. 2 failed head coaching stints and 2 x 7-9 Seattle seasons before RW got there. 

I did like Kam Chancellor though back when you could hit.

I think Pete has a punchable face and the big open mouth chewing annoys me.

His fault they don’t have 2 SB rings. If he calls a Lynch run they score and they win.

Tim.Tebow is back in the NFL!

Signed a 1 year deal with the Jags as a tight end.  I hope he does alright

33 years old now but he'd be fit & healthy you'd imagine

I can’t see this working very well, but he is costing them sod all. And the jags will be poor so nothing lost if it doesn’t work.

Where will Julio Jones land? 

Pats seem to be offering for him. It will be weird seeing him in anything but a Flacons top.

    Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes 5 Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J

    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

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. 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.
