    Mondays the pick of the games for sure! I just saw the ad for Broncos-Raiders on ESPN while watching Mike and Mike, they were hyping it up as 'AFC West leading Broncos' vs "The men in black" or something similar. Nothing positive or hype inducing to say about this current incarnation of the Raiders! The other game id want to watch is Baltimore v RG3, err I mean the Redskins. Not sure Griffin and Morris will be able to run big yards as easily against the stingy Ravens as they did on Monday night...

    Pfft! We missed a shorter field goal in OT that wouldve made it a completely different story. Still puzzled how we can twice not be able to defeat a team the calibre of the Rams. Enjoy watching the playoffs from the sidelines...
  4. His career path/trajectory reminds me so much of this bloke: Adrian McAdam DOB: 12 March, 1971 Team: North Melbourne (1993-1995) 36 games, 92 goals Good luck to Liam, if he does get a second shot at it...
  5. Thanks everyone for the fantastic reports, very much appreciated! Quick question, would we be paying the umpires to appear at todays training session? Or would it be an edict from the umpires coaches to get out there at a club to 'train' at the umpiring discplines rather than their fitness base?

    Thanks for posting up the schedule every week too Macca, its appreciated! I get a notification of the games via: http://ussportsdownunder.com/ but the formatting of it means its a challenge to read and easily identify which games I can watch. Looks like a good triple header tomorrow morning, with three intriguing contests: Minnesota v Chicago -crucial game as the Vikings are clinging onto that last spot, Bears need to get their confidence back. San Fran v New Orleans - huge game, Saints have won 5 straight while Niners have a QB selection dilemna having hit top form again. Green Bay v NY Giants - Massive game, GB back in top form while Giants have had a couple of lapses of late. This will be a beauty! Tuesdays game looks decidedly on the nose however.

    I watched this game on replay last night, the Jets were laughably bad on secondary and special teams, that 53 seconds was insane. How about Mark Sanchez rushing into the back of his own offensive linesman? haha! One of the funniest turnovers Ive seen in ages. And of course the touchdown turnover to boot. Pity for the suffering Jets fans that Teeeeebowww apparently has injured ribs right now or you'd think theyd be giving him a shot given their season is virtually over. The Pats are, yet again, flying. Will be tough to beat in the AFC given their playoff pedigree. Anyone else watch the Skins-Cowboys game? First time Ive watched a full game of RG3, man he has some talents! His arm and eye makes his receivers look 40% better players than they were last year. Have to say though the catch and YAC for a TD by Pierre Garcon was the play of the week so far for mine, what a catch! Finally the last game I watched, I thought was going to end in another OT tie! So many turnovers of posession in OT, missed field goals but eventually the league leading Texans sneak the win over the Lions. Arian Foster is hands down the best running back in the game today for mine.
  9. Played in the same premiership side there as Jace Bode, so his quality of teammate will improve somewhat. Also in the squad was our old favorite Juice Newton. Looking at the pictures from the SANFL grand Final he may have even been playing on Ryan Ferguson at one stage in the game: Dean Terlich
  10. Here's an interesting article on him from SA - Terlich caps stunning turnaround A rebounding defender, previously on Swans list. Age 22. Clearly wasnt too confident of being drafted by this: "I haven't heard a lot," Terlich said. "I'm happy where I am. Obviously I want to play AFL football but if nothing happens, nothing happens."
  11. 22year old from Norwood, previously Swans listed player...

    I watched the Bears-49ers game live yesterday, that was as comprehensive a mauling as I've seen for some time. The Chicago O-line were terrible, repeatedly the 'Smith brothers' were able to beat their opponent to get at Jason Campbell. Aldon Smith recorded 5.5 sacks for the game, a MNF record, and now has more sacks in the history of sacks being recorded ('82) than anyone else. The battle of the backup QBs was thus a non-contest, but even still I was amazed at how strong and accurate Kaepernicks arm was and how comfortable and confident he looked right from the very first drive. Provides an interesting quandry now for the coaches, as Alex Smith has the 3rd best qb rating in the league, yet we looked reinvigorated with Kap at the helm last night. The Bears have now played 4 teams with winning records and one won of them this year... Of the other games, I can only go off highlights but at one stage I saw the Colts ahead against New England. Wow that turned around in a big way! The other fascinating result was Tampa Bay looking dead and buried against Carolina, but finding a way to get up from 11 down deep in the last quarter, to not only get the FG, but then a TD and 2 point conversion with a minute or so left to get it to OT, where they were never going to lose. Doug Martin keeps putting up huge numbers, again over 100 yards rushing and providing the perfect decoy run in the tieing 2 pt play.
  15. How good was Bart-mans first taste of football for Melbourne? Played on a wing on a then prime Jason Akermanis in an Ansett Cup game and destroyed him! Best of luck for the future Clint, i've always admired the way you went about your footy...
  16. It would be ironical if Gillies did end up on our list as a quasi-replacement for RIvers, given Riv was handed the number 25 guernsey at the Cattery today, formerly occupied by Gillies. So going by this training reports 3rd hand opinions, Davey should retire, effective immediately, and Blease should be delisted for being at the back of the pack. Anything else of note I missed?

    That was a real rollercoaster game wasnt it! First time Ive ever watched a tie. In reality, Rams should've won, they shot themselves in the foot time and time again with penalties, especially that long long pass to Amendola(who looked great), and penalty for delay of game on the field goal. Kudos to the Rams special teams though, two fake punts converted to first downs. Cant believe Akers missed from where he was, very unlike him. Niners were very ordinary for most of the game, although Kaepernick did OK to scramble when needed, will be interesting to see how he does if Smith has to miss a game, he seems to have a strong arm and very athletic on the run. Falcons finally lose! And yeah I agree Saints could be a real dark horse as a Wildcard. Eagles fall apart again, Vick injured, will Andy Reid see out the season? Where's Dappa Dan? He'd be tearing his hair out. Currently watching Bears-Texans, a game Ive been looking forward to and so far its turnovers galore! I kinda like those sort of games as long as its not your team!

    Patrick Willis, Navorro Bowman and Justin Smith say hi! After our last start against the Cardinals, its fair to say the blip against the Giants has been put behind us..
  19. Nevertheless Taggerts game at Box Hill was exceptional, if he can build on that he'll be appearing in the seniors in the first half of the season...
  20. Built like a horse? A shetland pony maybe

    Andrew Luck played pretty well today, first time I'd seen him play a full game. The Jags are pretty awful admittedly, but still he looked impressive. Anyone else watch MNF Saints-Eagles? Fascinating game, poor old Michael Vick had zero protection almost all night, all he would've been seeing wouldve been the black and gold batallion with nostrils flaring baring down on him. Even someone with his sublime scrambling abilities was left bamboozled. I did like the special teams play that the Eagles tried with success that was ultimately nullified by a penalty for forward pass unfortunately. For those who missed it: http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/riley-cooper-hiding/ Definitely one of the funnier looking plays Ive seen of late!
  22. The biggest worry for me would have to be the Casey Council themselves, lets hope the club dont have to have any dealings directly with them over this period. They have shown to be the most inept, overpaid and corrupt local government body in the State. Google search Mike Tyler or Sam Aziz for a small sample. I for one would hope we can keep the association going in some form however, perhaps a takeover in all but name such as the Northern Blues or Bendigo Bombers have done the past couple of years...The local areas sheer population growth has been well tapped for a latent support base, if we can continue to play NAB cup games. training, family days etc out there that can only grow..
  23. Great neat file there for us to refer to, cheers WJ! I certainly hope we dont draft Membrey, for the sole reason of not wanting to cheer on someone with such fugly bogan tattoos!
  24. He was selected as an All-Australian in the Under 18s as a defender, I think this is where the confusion arises. Will look forward to seeing him develop his game at Casey!
