Anyone else a Vikes fan, or do you all think you suffer enough as Demons supporters?

Go Chiefs - but hard to dislike the 49ers after the way they smashed Green Bay!

Best day of the year to go skiing is Superbowl day.  Everyone, and I mean everyone is inside in front of the TV, and the slopes are all to yourself...and the few disgruntled towies sitting in the cold!

Yep, spent a whole day in a sports bar in Park City and that was just for the Championship games

 

Always had a soft spot for the 9ers. A mate of mine organizes an area at the Wharf Hotel every year and he has never seen a Superbowl victory for them. I'll be there decked out in my Denver Broncos gear. I recently came across my old Orange Crush jersey that a purchased in Denver in 1983. I won't be wearing that as it's a bit tight and I don't think I'd be able to breathe after a dozen Bud's.

All you NFL fans should be posting on the NFL page in other sports

I generally post on the NFL page on bigfooty or Jets Gang Green forum if in doing my NFL thing

On the 9ers, Bosa is a beast, love watching him play. Mahomes does ridiculous things I haven't really seen other QBs do, throwing across his bodywhike running away from the receiver

There will be plenty and quite a few of my Niners friends will be there. I'll be at Kicks in Elizabeth St but if we win I may end up at Beer Deluxe who knows!

Look for the old bloke in the Young shirt and young bloke in the Kittle shirt. Happy to say hello.

Go Niners

It's weird that Kansas City is actually in Missouri...but anyway carry on my wayward sons...

Why is this game called Football?

1. Hired a phenomenal coach in Kyle Shanahan who had done a long and varied apprenticeship in many spots but hadn't got the credit he deserved due to concerns about nepotism, youth and failure to see how well he did in bad circumstances.

 

"The 49ers have 2 head coaches. Kyle Shanahan and his father Mike Shanahan" - Skip Bayless last week (leading US journo, the Slobbo of AFL)

I wonder if the narrative will be that Daddy helped coach Kyle win a superbowl if the SF win?

how much are they struggling for half time entertainment - J Lo and Shakira.

news flash - its not 2001!  and even in 2001 they were both rubbish!

How much are we struggling for sport to discuss - American “foot”ball!
Finding this post in the Melbourne Demons forum is like finding an anchovy on your meat lovers pizza. Surely it should be in the Other Sports forum (it only appeared here because of some very tenuous link to the MFC’s recent performance).

Why would you win the toss and defer and let the other team choose?

An extremely good question for which I have no answer

You get the ball in the second half. It’s often hard to score on the first drive of the game, better to have the ball to start after half time when you can make adjustments. Plus the team that defers often ends up with the ball to close the first half as well so you get 2 goes in a row either side of half time

Nope, only someone like Skip would go with that. No doubt Dad has played a role but this is Kyle’s team and game plan


And like that, it was [censored] away.

Just for once I picked the winner to support. What a great last quarter, did everything the could not manage in the first three.

49ers Choked

Rubbish the Chiefs fired up. 49's started posing for photos a quarter too early. One long term losing streak gone, one longer one to go!

The thing is, the niners would have been better last year if JG didn’t do his knee. 
Mahomes is called showtime for a reason, he just finds ways to win. 
Niners played well but like the Texans and Titans before them, it’s bloody hard to stop KC offensively, you need to score as much as them. Hence last year the Rams and KC played a 54-51 game. They. Just. Score.

They were having trouble protecting the quarter back for the first three quarters and could not get going. A bit better protection in the last quarter and WHAM.

But Mahomes still scrambled a lot, the Oline did a massive job on keeping Bosa under control all game really.

Good game

KC got the benefit of two close decisions which could have gone either way.

The half time entertainment was woeful. While the singers may be  very good their choice of songs and the over production using dancers left a lot to be desired.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
