My dad is renowned for seeing who 'the tipsters' in the newspaper have tipped as research when doing his weekly footy tips. I still don't know why.

At half time in that game I still thought thr Cats were a show. We missed some opportunities in the first half and went in 5 goals up. A quick goal to start the 2nd half and the Cats would have been within 4 and we'd have had a game. Fortunately we started the half with a Benny Brown dagger. The worst is when you get ribbed for these views by fellow laid back too cool for school MFC fans. "Relax bro we're 4 goals up" It's my belief that everyone has their own in-built understanding of when a game is over and everyone else is wrong.

After all that Dallas miss the extra point. Nothing going right

Aaron Jones has turned that slit into a gash.

I remember a Wildcard game in the 2002 season between the Niners and Giants at the old Candlestick. 14-38 down at half time and rallied back to win. Strange things can happen in playoffs, just sayin.

At this point right now no QB is playing better with what they have than Jordon Love

Ferguson is in and finally Dallas give these of us who took today off something to watch.

Dallas must score on this drive and get something going into the 2nd half with the ball

Holy bazumba. Pick 6 from Savage. Jerry will be cracking it

Bang bang no press man coverage and Nicks is in the endzone for 20-0. Dallas in trouble..

Aaron Jones into the endzone after a Packers INT. 14-0 GB

I'm tired of the excuses. Collingwood had a nightmare of a year with injuries and while their situation did come good at the right time they mostly got through it. Their most important player was missing for their final against us, it was all laid out perfectly and people still want to winge about our circumstances. If the team actually thought like this then it shows mental fragility which I've said all along can be changed but needs to be checked. I know people are getting tired of hearing this but when you lose 4 finals at home then I see no problem asking these questions, you don't continue to sit there and make excuses. You do that after 1 or maybe 2 tops. Do I think we got unlucky? Yes of course, especially with the Petty injury. But there are plenty that will point out that our gameplan stacked up and that we only lost by single margins and if we were more accurate blah blah. What's the excuse for that? I'm beyond caring about hurting feelings or putting noses out of joints with this view. If you don't like it, please yourselves. When clubs like Port and Brisbane have exited finals like this in the past the overwhelming view here is that they choked. Use the same brush. But the question is about the window and if it is closing, no it is not. Ib my view we could take a little step back this year but in the era of free agency and smart drafting we can very much put ourselves back up near 12:00 by acquiring new pieces. Our core is still strong.

This is a joke right?

That pre season was apparently amazing though and 'poles apart' from what we put up in the first few rounds according to Neil Craig.

Dolphins and Chiefs is going to be a banger and not as easy to pick as you'd think. Giving KC the edge because I do think Tua can go to water with pressure and Spagnuolo has been really good at calling 3rd down pressure plays.

DeMeco Ryans has proven to be a real head coach. Fixing up the Texans run defense in one season is extremely impressive.

Bottled it. For a guy with experience you'd expect better.

Sounds a bit Mick Malthousey to me. Pete is a coach!

Stroud works perfectly for this system. If only Bryce Young had as much to work with.

Cleveland @ Houston Null Miami @ KC (7-12) Pittsburgh @ Buffalo (1-6) Green Bay @ Dallas (7-12) LA Rams @ Detroit (1-6) Philadelphia (1-6) @ Tampa Bay

Can Timo Werner make an impact in the EPL the 2nd time round? Or is he just cover for Son while he's gone?

Hmmmm, I like it!

Chiselled to perfection

Job well done
