Foxtel Sports aka Kayo
The beta version looked decent, if I ever give up Foxtel which is a big possibility I’ll probably get it. Would just hate to chew up a whole lot of internet watching games in HD being a quality snob and all.

2019 Replacement Home Games
Sorry OD, top deck. But that's just me, understandably people have different preferences. You're a member and still get to other games so I wouldn't call you a fair weather fan.

Really was a shocker wasn't it? Terrible luck for a guy who's had to work at it hard to get where he is. Something about Washington QBs and leg injuries..

Nice one Saty. Good shots too.

2019 Replacement Home Games
Just as an aside this tends to divide people. I would absolutely take a Grand Final ticket even if it were in the last row of the Southern Stand whereas my mate who I go with often probably wouldn't have a bar of it. I'd possibly even prefer this to sitting right at the very back row on level 1 with the overhang to deal with.

Think there’s possibly something to that. Season low 12 carries. I know McVay was going ballistic with the play calling but gee wiz. Not a good day for the fantasy peeps!

Wow Gorg! Just wow. What an amazing game of football. 10 touchdowns between the two QBs Many were wondering how the Chiefs defensive front would go against the Rams O-line. They found it tough early on. Rushing 4 and blitzing didn’t work, but they slowly worked their way into it. On the other D front Donald was just spectacular, lights out stuff. Ebukam played the game of his life and it was fitting when Peters got that pick late in it. Goff was very good, Cooks and co were great. Man that was just so awesome to watch. You’d be pretty happy with that! If this is the Superbowl and is half as entertaining as this, it’ll be a classic.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - COREY WAGNER
I'm happy with that, important to have the depth with his type. Was likely to get drafted so it's a good swift move.

Looks like the Rams will have Pharoh Cooper back. Massive boost for their kick return game.

They sure are.. Can’t wait for this one today though. MVP candidates, Peters against his old side, two QBs with video game like numbers it’s gonna be a beauty!

Ok well I’m pretty sick of talking to you about it too and don’t wish to take it any further. Done with it.

Never finished watching Lost. By the last season the plane had crashed 5 years before so it was time for them to get over it.

Well I don’t know what we’d be disagreeing on exactly, I’ve never said anything other than that I’m a Rodgers fan and that he is one of the best talents I’ve ever seen in the position. The only thing I ever said from the beginning is that it was interesting how he and Favre shared losing away records. No attacks on Rodgers, no thinly veiled suggestions that he’s a bad Quarterback, just an interesting observation. He’s clearly been excellent, he’s clearly carried the team for a very long time, has got plenty of stats that very much support his excellence. I’m largely in agreeance with you on this. But I don’t think it’s a crime to question some things either and at the end of the day these small details are probably the difference between him and Brady.

Totally worth it mate. Will be a great experience. Looking forward to hearing about it!

Sounds awesome GV! Some absolute beauties there. Know where you’ll be sitting at Camp Nou?

Pretty surprised to say the least. The Steelers were lucky to win with Ben throwing 3 picks. They couldn’t get any separation early on at all. He did make the key plays when they mattered though. NFC East just opened and the god awful thought of the Cowboys making a run is apparent. Carolina cost a few of us big time in the tips, good job Rivera. The Chargers were the big surprise for me. Plenty of talent on this roster but unfortunately they threw it. Lindsay has been a surprise packet for the Broncos, seeing the no. 30 side step into the end zone was shades of T.D! Tomorrow will be a belter.

NFL
Really? We’re doing his again are we? A 50-50 road record is nothing to sneeze at, but when we talk about the guy being one of the best ever I expect a bit better than average and I’d expect a few more wins in games like those on the road. I’d also be expecting GB to make the playoffs often with a QB like Rodgers. So it’s not really surprising.

The cheesehead saved his life! Never has a stupid piece of foam been so important. Oh ouch Macca, just ouch!

Yeah true plus which offensive gurus are out there currently available? I would like to throw up a hypothetical though and I’m prepared to get laughed out of the building for it. Jim Harbaugh.

I liked the cheesehead! Always thought it was because of the heritage and Wisconsin being the largest producing cheese state in America but I think you’re right about the term being an insult originating in the height of the Bears rivalry. Remember in the 90s the guy in the plane crash and the cheesehead saved his life?

NFL
Maybe he needs to do a Wenger ? They would need to review, they should be better. The one thing I’ll say is that the Packers are anything but a dysfunctional organisation in my time. Obviously I missed the 70s and 80s so it could have been then but this is still a premier organisation. If you want dysfunction look at us!

NFL
Yep and that’s a big thing right now and when you look at a stat sheet it looks like all is ok and Aaron is playing well, which he is. However the devil is in the detail. Yep, he’s miles off Belichick. Most are but he is not close to the same post code. I do think he can coach but I also think after this amount of time that the same voice can get old. I do think there is some frost between Rodgers and him as well. Holmgren used to get frustrated with Favre but you always got the sense that Favre believed Mike could make him better. Just don’t see it with these two.

NFL
Yeah look there have been plenty of deficiencies in the Packers roster over time no doubt about it. I think McCarthy is generally a decent coach but has lost his way over the last few years and there is not a perfect fit right now with him and Rodgers. And of course you're a big fan. The truth is that when Jimmy G went down I gravitated to this GB team this year. I've have been taking a keen interest and almost barracking for them in the NFC believe it or not. So when they lost to the hated Seahawks I actually felt like a frustrated Packer fan. I rate this roster they got good defensive talent, need a better running game. Get Mike out and the best guy for AR.

Haha come on Macca that’s insane! Was Robbie was kicking our team’s total scores every week? Well by my ‘logic’ Montana had a 65-25 road record so I guess it rings true ? Ok so if Rodgers is important enough to say Green Bay would be terrible without him right now then why when we mention his road record is it suddenly about the team? It’s not like he played with no-one during this period these were decent Packers rosters. It doesn’t matter though because I think Rodgers is great. The only point I was making was that it was interesting that these two guys from the same team and two of the best of all time both shared this stat because. It’s an odd thing to find in a team with a good coach and QB. Oooh nerves hit and we’re going for the low hanging fruit! Haha ?
