I'm in Macca. Going to be a great few days of gridiron. looking forward to all the games. Texans 1-6 Chiefs 13+ Bills 13+ Cowboys 13+ Rams 1-6 Tampa 1-6

Harrison needs to get fit and stay fit. Not a foregone conclusion by any stretch given his injury record. I hope he overcomes his ankle issue and delivers a big goal kicking season for us. We can worry about the Crows and contracts later. And as for go home he can return to SA when his career is over. Jackson and Tim Kelly cited go home as the reason but they were both well paid to move. If Petty does end up going to the Crows i doubt he will forgo any dollars to do so. More likely it'll be for a payrise.

what about vertically challenged players. Not fair to disclose their height i reckon.

Suggest we move on from season 2023. It's just flogging a dead horse. Just one point I'd like to make. Stevie May was wrong. We were not the best team last season and, in my opinion, did not let a flag slip. We finished 4th and went out in straight sets for a reason. We huffed and puffed through most of the year. We were hard work to watch. Pies were the best team. finished top at the end of H&A, played daring attacking footy, won lots of close games and got the job done in September. They rode their luck for sure but they made their luck. I hate them with a passion but they deserved their flag. If injuries don't cruel us again we'll be in it up to our necks in 24. Go Dees

much depends on Clarry returning and getting 2-3 more good years from Maxy

Jags stuff up cost me dearly. Cowboys won't take anything for granted against the packers next week although no Aaron Rodgers to torment them this time.

Eagles stinking the joint out. their form has fallen off a cliff

Yep. Secure Top 4 and hopefully have a fit and firing list to choose from in September.

Jags, Bucs, Cowboys

i reckon we'll be close if Clarry plays and we have better luck with injuries.

Another of our players who has failed to maintain 21 levels of performance. Regressed significantly. Needs to lift otherwise he won’t hold his spot in 24

Feisty game between chiefs and bengals.

Eagles gone. Terrible loss v cardinals. not sure where things stands in the division but i think that leaves cowboys in the box seat.

cowboys by a point. bizarre end to the game with the Lions having 3 attempts at the 2-point conversion. Very aggressive approach from them all game on 4th downs, giving up 3 point attempts etc. presumably because they have the division sown up and unlikely to move up in seedings so nothing to lose. I think they were better off practicing play-off scenarios. take the 3 points. kick the extra point and take into overtime (its what you would do in a play-off game). I guess you can't fault the approach given they've won their division for the first time in yonks being aggressive. The only chance the cowboys have of a deep run is playing at AT&T stadium so hoping the Eagles flop from here. No run game makes it hard and apart from CD Lamb, who had a huge game, there was not that much happening offensively. Defence came up with a couple of important picks which was the difference in a tight game.

Great hands and can kick straight. Not a bad defender either! Injury profile a big concern. He misses a lot of games. A fit and firing Petty will be a huge boost to our chances. The elephant in the room is the crows. they'll come after him again next trade period. And I reckon he'll go.

Rams Saints 49ers

I just hope Clayton Oliver can sort himself out. It'll be a lot harder to win it if he's missing games or not contributing.

Lamar Jackson proving very elusive for the 49ers pass rush. He’s having a great game.

Big if

Chiefs shot themselves in the foot bigtime.

I've written him off before but this time I reckon he's cooked. Great servant though.

The roughing the passer penalty against parsons was very harsh. Extended the drive which Miami translated into a touchdown. Had a big impact on the result.

I agree. Dak has stopped throwing picks which has made a huge difference. He’s playing well. Both 4th quarter drives led to scores. He’s become dependable. I had my doubts he ever would. the cowboys oline could not protect against the dolphins pass rush (which was very good) and that was the difference in a tight game.

9 points down start of the 4th. Dak needs to show us what he’s made of now

Happy Xmas all. And here’s to 24 and hopefully a dees flag
