mahomes throws a pick! that never happens.

Ravens D excellent again

 

What a game!!!

The toe will be the talking points but for me it was Jackson kissing flowers wide open the play before. 

The best make that throw.

 

Looks like the chiefs have developed a running game to make it even harder for the chasing pack.

high quality game first up. Chiefs, again, will be the team to beat this year.

It truly is a game of inches.  Only audio my end, but maybe just one inch in it!!  

Ravens have got a tough 4 weeks coming too so Jackson missing Flowers could turn out to be costly


Haven't seen this guy for a while but Jon Gruden is always good value

I like him can’t believe this is in Brazil, I mean I get it grow the game but the Eagles lose a home game vs a play off contender.

Cant wait to watch this today.

Eagles have been terrible on their first two offensive drives.

Their D has been ok tho.

Love looks good early.

Only audio my end but apparently the players are slipping all over the place

Yeah the surface was terrible. 

Eagles got going and their D restricted Love, Barkley was good for them as was Brown, Jacobs got going late but Love being hurt with 6 seconds left isn't good for Packers fans.

Apparently Love was walking unassisted so might be ligament damage only.  But that can be 6-8 weeks if it's major damage.  Worse case scenario is a leg break near the ankle but I'm not sure he could walk around at all if it was that bad

Eagles too good even though the scores were close.  It felt like they were in control of the game for the most part with the difference being Barkley?

Barkly was the difference on offence, but I thought the Eagles D, especially the rookies in the secondary stood up and covered the GB receivers well.

I didn't have high expectations this season mainly because I reckon Love needs more time to improve.  4-10 weeks out with the small amount of info available

The back-up 'Malik Willis' was formerly the QB at the Titans and only arrived 2 weeks ago so he's got it all before him

@Gorgoroth

What's the go with the Rams?

The bookies have got them as long shots to be the Super Bowl winner (35-1)

Yet the Rams are roundabout even money to make the Playoffs (5-4)

Vikings 

Cowboys

Oline injuries and secondary banged up and a hell of a lot of rookies. No AD means we can prob win enough for play offs but beating the good teams will be much harder.


Bit late to the party for Round 1, here we go again, good luck all!

Steelers

Vikings

Texans

7Mate Games ...

3.00am  Titans @ Bears

6.25am  Washington @ Tampa 

Followed by the Armchair Experts with Ben Graham (9.30am) 

And I got your tips, Gorg

Just scrolled back and saw them

 

Houston, Pittsburgh, Dallas.

Wasn’t going to do tips this year but you’ve sucked me back in thanks Mac.

Thoughts on the season.

AFC
North - Ravens, Bengals
East - Jets, Dolphins
South- Texans
West - Chiefs, Chargers

NFC
North - Packers, Lions
East - Cowboys
South - Falcons
West - Niners, SeaHawks, Rams

I’d probably switch it up now but I have to hold true to my preseason prediction of Packers-Jets in the Super Bowl. 

Everyone on the board in the tipping comp!  Now, that's a first!

No real surprises in the games this morning although the Bengals & Falcons losing were minor upsets

Rams @ Lions & Jets @ 49ers are the games that many are looking forward to

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
