Goff just stood and copped a hit on a 4th and 5. 

What a play.

The Lions are banged up on defence but their offense puts enormous pressure on whoever they are playing ... both physically and mentally

 

Edit: And right on cue the Vikes stop the Lions and gain excellent field position after the Lions were forced to punt it away

Edited by Macca

 
 

Vikes go for it on 4th down and come up short ... and against the free-scoring Lions, that can be the mindset

Teams have to match TD's with TD's against Detroit


Going to be tough for the Vikings now ... trailing 9-24 early in the 4th

Need to score a TD on this drive

Vikes have been bullied in this second half.


Congratulations to @Go the Biff for winning the tipping comp!  Well done, GtB!

You are now a 2 time winner joining the other 2 time winners ... @Gorgoroth   @Clintosaurus &@DeeSpencer

It was a close encounter all season long but you kept gaining points week in, week out.  And that's what won it for you

And it went down to the last match of the season where @titan_uranus would have got up with a Vikings win

But for the victor, go the spoils!

More details later on, including some info on the post season tipping comp and the 'Hall of Fame'

But just a heads up on the post season comp (while I'm here)... we should be able to get enough starters as I'm assuming we're all going to be watching the playoffs

Week 1 ... 1 point per win (Home or Away) plus a bonus point for the correct margin (1-6,  7-12 & 13+)

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each correct margin

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct margin

Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin

Leaderboard Tipping Comp (Final)

43 - @Go the Biff (Winner and Gold Medalist)

38 - @Dr. Gonzo  @JV7  @titan_uranus (Silver Medallists) 

37 - @Clintosaurus (Bronze Medal).

36 - @layzie

34 - @Gorgoroth

33 - @BDA

32 - @DeeSpencer@DemonDave

31 - @Macca

29 - @ElDiablo14

And just a reminder on how the (virtual) medals are allocated... there's no 1st, 2nd or 3rd per se,  just the most amount of points, the 2nd most points and the 3rd most points

That tradition was started 12 years ago and there is no real reason to change things

@Macca goes without saying each year but thanks once again. Makes the season that more interesting! Bring on the post season! 

Cheers Macca.  Thanks for running this. As JV7 said,  it makes the season so much more interesting.  Particularly when your own team is stinking it up.

Bring on the finals. Reckon it's gonna be wild this post season 

Forgot to mention,  really enjoyed the revised points system with more points on offer. Made things a bit more dynamic

Dan Campbell in his post game said to Kevin O'Connell "See you in two week..."

McVay and the Rams...

Close enough to a line ball game according to the bookies ... Vikings -1.5  @ Rams +1.5

Other favourites

Chargers -3.0 @ Houston

Tampa Bay -3.0 vs Washington

Eagles -4.5 vs Packers

Buffalo -9.0 vs Denver

Baltimore -10.0 vs Pittsburgh

Yep thanks Macca, a bit of fun that makes the season that much more enjoyable. Can't believe the season is done already, feels like it flies by.

Hoping the Lions can win the SB but would be fine with anyone except Buffalo, KC and Pittsburgh.

I read that Hurts is still in concussion protocol. He has missed the last two games.

Could be critical and also a few weeks off even if he plays how does that affect him? He wasn’t in perfect sync prior to this so, be an interesting watch.

I saw a tweet which said he can't exit the protocol until attending practice on Wednesday, I'd expect him to be playing this week.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
