SNF this week is Chicago @ Green Bay

Oldest rivalry in the sport with 203 meetings.  Packers hold a slight advantage with 103 wins vs Bears 96 wins (along with 6 ties)

MNF has 2 games this week and both could be keenly contested ... Titans @ Bills along with Vikings @ Eagles

The two 7Mate games on Monday morning are decent too

3.00am Bucs @ Saints

6.25am Arizona @ Las Vegas Raiders

 

Yep, one of the oldest and fierce rivalries around. You could make an argument for Cowboys and Eagles being the biggest divisional rivalry but there's something about games with the conerstone NFL franchises and I love the history with this one. Some great stories about how Lombardi was always paranoid about Hallas having spies at Packers practices!

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

Consolation prize for you @Gorgoroth  You're the winner of the post season tipping comp!  Well played and good tipping.  I'll post up the overall tallies sometime in the next day or so.  2nd goes

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Chargers v Chiefs was a cracker, it was all about the D taking the chances, KC pick Herbert on the 1yrd line and run it back 99, chargers drop 2 very good int and missed a few others. 
cracking game tho.

Herberts ribs are either broken or bad,t bruised and he still threw a dart down field.

That was a classic football game. Hope Herbert isn't too bad that was a hell of a performance.

Micah Parsons is a star.

Bengals look super poor up front, Rams tried to blow a big lead, Ramsey came up big at the end. Browns, Ravens and Raiders did blow big leads!!!

Rodgers still owns Chicago but they looked better running the ball well.

Miami look strong. But still need to maintain it.

 I would not be paying Lamar Jackson what he thinks he deserves. I don’t think he will ever deliver a SB to the Ravens.

There is steam coming out of my ears.

For the 3rd time in 4 years one of our marquee players has succumb to a season ending injury: Trey Lance has broken a fibula and had possible ligament damage.

Yes you do these plays when the game is there to be won but this was 2nd and 8 in the second quarter with a running game that was already buzzing! We'd run him in a series of QB draw plays but this one was more of a zone read and the inuwas horrific.

As a Niners fan it is hard not to be angry at Kyle Shanahan right now. Last week and this week calling plays that invloved Lance running between the tackles through the middle and potentially getting hurt. Well he did and Shanahan took no responsiblity whatsoever in his presser. We traded 3 picks to get this guy and decided to use him as a FB, nice job! Couldn't help but think of RG3 in Washington where both Mike and Kyle were involved in calling that play 10 years ago. 

Plus side is the Jimmy G comes in and we know he can win you games. Don't think he's quite good enough to win or even get us to a Superbowl this year but playoffs are not a lost cause. Still damn frustrating, Lance missed so much football in College from Covid, hardly played last year and now loses another season.

Bills smash the Titans and the Eagles dominate the Vikings (Where's Dappa?)

Packers win but we've got holes to fill.  Jones was good but he needs to shine against a team like Tampa (good luck!) Dillon ok as well so the running game looks better a year on

Run defence still wobbly (allowed 180 yards) Pass defence better but we're at the Bucs next Sunday (late game) Brady vs Rodgers

Don't know what to make of the Bears.  Their D just allowed too many yards but the passing game wasn't there.  Still, Fields can get better with more games under his belt

Bucs win well at the Saints (held them to 10 points) ... Tampa look the team to beat in the NFC

Jags shut out the Colts!  Clint can tell us what happened as I've only seen brief highlights

Rams win against a fast finishing Atlanta

Former Ram, Jared Goff threw 4 TD's to get Detroit up over the Washington Commanders!

49ers get it done against the Seahawks.  The NFC West could be a 3 horse race although the Rams still favs

Bills look the team to beat in the AFC although KC will be thereabouts

Giants win again but the Eagles loom large in the NFC East.  Dallas win an important game with the QB (Cooper Rush) having a big game.  Cowboys aren't out of it

Miami win a barnburner at the Ravens.  Dolphins are 2 & 0 and only 6 of the 32 teams are undefeated after week 2

As for the tipping comp ... we are all still in the barriers!!

Rams lose another lineman for the season, and CB Troy Hill is now on IR, so misses at least 4. Our oline is worst in the league and now has lost three from it. This is not good, we couldn’t run it well prior to these injuries. 
we did have success using Skrownek (sp) as a full back… I mean a WR as a full back… and it worked… weird.

Some good games this week - especially the evening matches & the late Sunday games

Tipping a bit easier this week but be aware of a trap game or 2

2 points up for grabs this week plus a bonus point on offer if you go it alone

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
