    As a neutral it will be hard not to want to see this if you get past City GV.

    Not your average 100 but these are the 100s you love hearing about.

    Yeah 100% That will be the secret sauce. Either way they are gonna be a fun watch.

    Baker has one of the more accurate deep balls going around so this move makes the right sounds. Surely on the up now?

    Geelong in Geelong last year is the freshest in the memory and was extremely hard to cop. 2015 against the saints. There was nothing on the line but it burned like hell, didn’t help that it was my birthday either. I even remember saying to someone that Howe’s goal with 30 odd seconds left gave us a ā€˜fighting chance’. They thought I was nuts and that I should be celebrating a premature win. When Joey kicked the winner I turned around and said ā€œThat’s why I say these thingsā€. Farmer after the siren in 2002 was torture. Special non-mention: Richmond in 2009 in the infamous tank game. I was not heartbroken, I wanted this loss and don’t pretend you didn’t either. Off topic but this is the worst after the siren winning goal in the history of the game, Jordan McMahon 35 metres out looked like he was kicking a sack of door knobs.

    Yeah another 3 years or something like that. It's a bit of a punt at 31, yes he's brilliant and could go a while yet but still a risk. Some new off field issues don't help. I'd welcome him of he came but still not convinced he's a perfect fit. Would rather a decent long threat and some serious pass rush this FA. The Raiders have serious cap room and are desperate for a big fish. Gruden is a fan so would make sense.

    Yep, it’s official. Still no obvious reason why but he seems keen to move on. I feel like the Raiders might make a cannonball splash in this pool.
  8. Thanks for the training update, always appreciate these.

    Browns sign Kareem Hunt. Never afraid of a circus that lot..
  10. It raises the eyebrows, not saying it is not a good idea but it is certainly unorthodox. I think stability and knowledge that we have the coach is a powerful message to send, not to mention this still is a developing list. Offer Goody a 3 year deal and back him in.

    City wipe Chelsea off the park, Spurs looking good again and should have Kane back soon. Very exciting league and really no other way it's going than down to the wire.
  12. I think when you consider the time and efforts that go into running a website like this one it makes sense to subscribe or donate. I've been on DL a long time and although I've had on-off periods on here it's always been there and I'm grateful for that. The site is run by great people and we are getting more and more brilliant content all the time with things like the podcast which has become a staple for me during the week. Every bit counts, doesn't take much.

    Magnificent timing. I vaguely remember an interview with her on The Footy Show or a similar program, would be good to see that again if possible.

    Getting tired of this same old re-hash. The guy has talent but never the mindset of an elite AFL footballer. Not once or twice this has been shown but over and over and a lot of people including myself chose to ignore it for a long time. I’m constantly having opposition fans tell me rubbish like ā€œI heard somewhere if Watts had gone to Hawthorn he would have been one of the AFL’s best playersā€ and ā€œIt wasn’t Watts’ fault, he went to a basket case of a clubā€ turn it up. Some of it is true to an extent but doesn’t hold any water when explaining the guy’s entire career.

    Rough way to lose. Was really hoping they could make some big plays late and bring it home for you @Gorgoroth. Tough to take.

    If the Rams can just get a bit of production on offense they are right in it.

    Still a game. If the Rams can crank it up and move the chains they are very much in it.

    I’m going with 27-23 Pats but don’t feel great about it. All the best @Gorgoroth it’s great to make it to this day. Hope they can bring it home for you.

    What can you say? Easily the best football we played this tournament that I've seen (watched 3 games). Movements forward very good, used the width of the pitch well. Thought Grant gave them some problems down the right. Beasts in the middle of the park with Milligan setting the tone winning nearly every 50-50 challenge. Feel bad for Milos, made a howler but he has performed well. That's the sport unfortunately, lacked just a little cutting edge in front of goal. As stated previously I'm a fan of McLaren but he has way too many of these games at this level. Don't feel he attacks the far post enough at crosses, obviously that's without knowing what he's been instructed but several decent crosses came in with no-one on the end of it. Interesting times for the Socceroos going forward. Definitely quality to return but not sold on Arnie's vision.

    That's incredible! Johnson makes one for the ages. Unbelievable Rams performance. That's what you watch an NFL game for. Gonna have to see this back closely later as I've been watching on and off on the phone.
