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

What a game!!!

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

The best make that throw.

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

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.

Packers running game just not there

 

Edit: And just like that the running game appears

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)

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.

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

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    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
