Hotter than Hell today. Hope all players and track watchers managed to stay cool and hydrated.

Lions defence has held up well recently but today is a step too far. Bills cutting through them like butter.

If its divisive then it defeats the purpose entirely so i understand the Storms reason for doing so. It's the same reason why the date of Australia Day should be changed. Symbolism has its place, but I think there's too much performative stuff nowadays that makes no difference to anyone's life.

Chiefs, Ravens, Bengals

Something along the lines of "The Kentucky derby is decadent and depraved"

great selection with pick 42 our drafting for both the men and womens teams has been top notch

This is true also but either way, they've wasted everyone's time.

Sounds like the Hawks got cold feet and wasted everyone's time

She won't nominate for the draft. why would she? I'm glad she's staying. We are a better chance of a flag next year with her on the list. btw Hawks are fools. i don't think pick 14 is too much for her. They have a young team as it is. Tayla is exactly the type of experienced player they should bring in to get to the next level.

Something is off here. Starting to look like we’ve been led up the garden path.

I absolutely despise ticketek

Bengals win the game with a late TD after the cowboys touched a partially blocked bengals punt. How dumb do you have to be to do that. DON'T TOUCH THE BALL UNLESS YOU ARE SURE TO COLLECT. Its the one thing you simply cannot do on special teams. March that prat out the door immediately. That level of stupidity cannot be tolerated.

The Chiefs know how to win tight games.

I don't think we're on the slide. i expect us to bounce back and play finals next year and hopefully go deep. Even if we had retained all our players from last year we would not have won a flag this year. North, Lions and possibly Crows all stronger than us. We took the hit and i think are better for it in the long run Chaplin stepped into Birch's position and excelled. she's 22. We didn't miss Libby at all. West was missed for sure, we could have done with her strong body but she is a limited footballer if we can draft a big burly midfielder with pick 2 (assuming Lily leaves for the Suns) and can retain Tayla i reckon we're well placed to have a good crack at the flag next year.

this has turned into an old fashioned shoot out

Campbell is too aggressive with his 4th down play calling. Lions fail to convert and hand the ball back in great field position. There's a reason no one else is that aggressive. it doesn't pay off overall. Cost the Lions the championship game last year.

goff throws the terrible pick to give packers great field position. Packers get the Td and just like that they are ahead. i'm feeling good about my smokey (if you can consider a 9-3 team a smokey)

and they duly oblige 3 point game

Packers getting their run game going this drive. 1st and goal so great chance to get on the board.

nothing wrong with Lions defence thus far. they are bringing the heat

that's carlton for you. typical ordinary behaviour from them.

looking forward to todays game. should be a ripper. given the Lions thread bare defence i reckon the Packers will get it done. my tips for the week: Packers, bills, bengals

My thorough dislike of them aside, Reid should stay at the Eagles and make his mark there. Repay the faith they showed in him and the time they invested developing him. He can return later and finish his career here. Live the rest of his post playing career here. Leaving to return home after 3 years is just soft.

Tayla Harris is a gun and should not be traded under any circumstances. Our young talls showed great promise, our future is secure, but they are still callow. If we want to challenge in the next 2 years we have got to hold onto her. We have enough young players on our list there is no need to trade her.

Lily isn’t a strong body. She gets tossed around like a rag doll by the bigger midfield brutes. shes depth. If we get a good pick and she gets a good deal with the suns then thats a win win from my perspective.
