Dumbest penalty in play off history right there. Bengals should trade him for sheer stupidity.

He wasn’t thinking at all was he…I think you’re being generous Gorg lol. He might have to catch the bus back home.

I have some sympathy for defensive players with late hits because they offensive player often flirts with the boundary and then skips out and draws a soft penalty. They love calling them for certain qb’s and not for others and positional players too.

But yeah, that one was terrible. They’d both run out and he had to do whatever he could to avoid contact with Mahomes. 

Would’ve been <7 seconds left and either a 60 yard or so FG or a Hail Mary. Ie. Overtime with the Bengals looking the more promising team in the second half

I tipped the Chiefs because I didn’t ever want to go against Mahomes at home and he’s just amazing, clearly not nearly 100% and getting it done.

And because I thought the Chiefs could get pass rush on the Bengals and they sure did. 

Still, an amazing job by the Chiefs young secondary and Mahomes did just enough with a receiving corps running out of healthy bodies and talent.

I think the reality is Mahomes is going to have to be miraculously healthier and have some receivers outside Kelce or MVS to win the super bowl. With 2 weeks until the game - maybe they can do it

I mean… I did choose the chiefs 1-6….

Ha ha!

The current leaderboard resembles the 2003 Brownlow ... if I recall, 3 won on 22 that year, another 3 had 21 votes and yet another 3 had 19 votes.  2 more on 18?

With us it's who blinks first or we all hold off as long as possible! 

We're a competitive bunch

We're like the dirty dozen or the crazy gang!

Years ago when the team (Demons) was crud I once made mention here that if the team was as competitive as many of the posters, we'd never lose a game!!

Hard luck on your 49ers layz, but you needed a fit and fiting QB just to have a sporting chance ... especially in the Eagles house

And it's always an achievement to at least compete in the championship game.  28 teams didn't make it that far

Haha yeah if you think about how much fight and ticker posters have shown over the years! Not to mention coaching ability and strategy 😝

Yeah look it's a rough set of circumstances but that's the sport. A good season and a 12 game win streak is always impressive but you gotta have that QB it's just the way it is. The Eagles were very good and I don't even think they were playing at their best, still another gear to go. Grats to @Dappa Dan I know he's out there with a smile right now 😀

Yeah, if he can get back and actually fire then he could be key. Can’t see the run game via the Eagles being a factor. 
Mahomes gets another two weeks to heal too. 

In these big games receiver depth makes the difference and when the pressure is in a QB's face who their check down options are. Hoping Juju gets up because he does offer something a bit different for that offense. His YAC and ability to make defenders miss will be crucial in this one.

The WR v Corners/Safety is going to be key. If the Eagles can nullify the WR of the Chiefs and clamp on Kelce it’s going to win them the game. 
For me I’d clamp Kelce and if you get beaten by the WR crew one on one then so be it. But take Kelce out of the game, he is Mahomes safety blanket.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    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.
