Love it! I remember seeing a guy who had a similar thing with the Melbourne Storm a few years back.

The 2023 AFL Fixture
It would be really nice if iCal or Google calendar links were available for AFL fixtures. I think due to all the floating fixture rubbish it makes it difficult to keep updated but I'm sure it can be done, they may exist but I've never seen any.

Alan Richardson on 3AW: What is Fueling Dees Fire in 2023
Great interview, I think we're playing this well from a PR point of view. The common denominator is pressure, it's the secret sauce and we need to make sure we keep consistent levels of forward pressure up. Ball movement does need altering but no. 1 is pressure.

Best Value Way to Watch the Footy...?
Kayo is the failsafe way. Bite the bullet, get it for 6 months. There really is no better cost effective option for being able to watch every game.

Change to the Stand Rule Cracks Down on Fake Handballs
INTERPRETATION. Yes, I know it's a funny word AFL Rules committee but we need to have less of this in an umpire's job description. Not more.

Why Luke Dunstan came to Melbourne
The good thing about Dunstan is you know exactly what you're going to get from him week in week out. We're lucky we have him.

It's too early for post of the year but you've easily snaffled it Picket.

In these big games receiver depth makes the difference and when the pressure is in a QB's face who their check down options are. Hoping Juju gets up because he does offer something a bit different for that offense. His YAC and ability to make defenders miss will be crucial in this one.

Haha yeah if you think about how much fight and ticker posters have shown over the years! Not to mention coaching ability and strategy 😝 Yeah look it's a rough set of circumstances but that's the sport. A good season and a 12 game win streak is always impressive but you gotta have that QB it's just the way it is. The Eagles were very good and I don't even think they were playing at their best, still another gear to go. Grats to @Dappa Dan I know he's out there with a smile right now 😀

Philly have executed today. Jalen has looked impressive, Eagles have made plays when it's counted. Their D has balled out, make no mistake this team is the real deal.

Real sad how this has all unfolded.

Rough start. Didn't challenge the Smith catch and now Purdy out, going to be up against it with Josh Johnson in.

In my opinion Eagles and 49ers are very evenly matched and stacked in many positions, except when it comes to QB. As good as Purdy has been he doesn't get heaps of Velocity on his throws so you'd be hoping Kyle can scheme guys open with some cushion. He's also going to get hit at some point by this Eagles front. It will be a defensive battle and whoever does better on first down will win. For Philly I'd be hoping Hurts has got past his shoulder concerns. He's going to experience his share of pressure too. A lot being made of the crowd noise being a factor, it all depends on who gets the better start where that is concerned. Would love to see us get through but as a tipping man I give the Eagles the edge. The AFC title game is going to be a cracker. Bengals have so many weapons and I think they will get it done. Tips below: 49ers 17 - Eagles 20 Bengals 30 - Chiefs 23

Yeah that plus side was a bit of a reach in that we probably won't face a defense better than the Cowboys but the teams left aren't far off. I actually really like Philly's front 7, Brock can expect the same pressure. If I have to pick right now I think Cincy have everything in place at the right time, it can't be said enough how good Joe Burrow is throwing the football. Extremely accurate in the tight windows. Never hurts to have a dart thrower

Tough defensive battle. Some stupid clock management late in the game from both sides. An eerily similar game to last year's wildcard where the Niners could have sealed it but the Cowboys hung in till the end. Key takeways: - Pollard's injury changed the game. No doubt DeMeco Ryans' job was way easier when he went down. - The Cowboys needed to stretch us down the field more. Lamb was always a threat. - Not Purdy's best game but managed it reasonably well. First start he hasn't thrown a TD in though. - Kittle's juggling catch was probably the key play of the game. Thought Dallas had us hemmed in on that drive. On to the NFC Championship game against the Eagles, Hurts will stretch us downfield. On the plus side I think we won't face a defense as good as Dallas again. I still think the SB winner is coming from the AFC though.

I think some in the media have slept on them a bit because of Hurts' health. I still think across the board it's a stellar roster and I've got their O-line as the best of the remaining NFC teams. Media blackout day for me today. Won't be watching on replay till about 5:30pm. For someone who grew up during the 49ers and Cowboys rivalry of the 90s this is just cruel, but it has to be done. My George Kittle jersey is layed out on the driver's seat of my parked car for luck.

Their offensive line just controlled business.

Huge game @BDA. And old fashioned slobber knocker! I think it's going to be close as well, not much difference between the twio sides on paper. If we aren't on there could easily be an upset make no mistake about it.
