Ha! Cook praised the Cats and didn't comment on the Eagles Was rather circumspect with regards to Carlton. Made mention that winning consistently year in, year out was a part of a club's DNA (or not)

Would be interested to know what he thinks our DNA is? (in an interview with SEN in the recent past, Cook stated that all the clubs have a DNA that defines them) Aside from all that, it's a very smart move by the club, as Cook has been a highly successful CEO and has overseen 2 very successful football clubs

Yes, the NRL broadcast rights could end up elsewhere than Foxtel/Kayo Especially if the AFL rights can't be budged from it's total amount as it stands (Foxtel/Kayo) ... sounds like it's too much of a commitment to cover both sports Wouldn't surprise me if Stan end up with the NRL and DAZN & the AFL continue to be in conflict. It's not ideal for the broadcast partners to be warring with each other So far, we've heard DAZN air their grievances out in public. Will the AFL even respond given the large amount of money at stake? Might be best to say nothing

@La Dee-vina Comedia Ch7 are in the business of making money and it's all about the ratings and the advertising dollars It's up to the AFL to get the best deal for their sport. It was just a few years ago that Ch7 took CA to court over the quality of the sport (specifically the BIg Bash) So when you're forking out $Billions you want bang for your buck If the sport was hugely watchable for the neutrals, it's a different conversation So when considering that DAZN are an English firm, I can see them either opting out or brokering a different deal (if possible) Some contracts are not watertight so watch this space ... DAZN have already dumped the French & Belgium leagues

Foxtel/Kayo bought the rights to Saturday's, it wasn't necessarily ch7 dropping out As for Thursday night games, that's been a success As for DAZN, if they can opt out of AFL, they probably will What we might be left with is anyone's guess but another streaming service is on the cards (and the consequences of such a move) The biggie for me is if the NRL on Ch9 can continually beat the footy on Ch7 ... no one likes coming 2nd As previously stated numerous times, it's all about the neutral eyes, not the rusted on types

'Down Cemetary Road' looks the goods, HT ... the 2 lead actresses are favourites of mine too Also, 'Pluribus' is superb and well worth a look, especially so (or more so) if you like the genre (Dystopian Sci-fi, Dark Comedy, Psychological Drama) Vince Gilligan writes and directs a number of episodes (formerly X-Files, Breaking Bad & Better Call Saul)

Yeah, I've arranged a late start on Friday so will get all or most the first 2 games in live ... and Joe Burrow is back for the Bengals so the Cinci/Ravens match should be a good one as well It's the best line-up of games we've seen on Thanksgiving for quite a while Everything is on the line for 5 of the 6 teams engaged And then we get the 8 & 3 Bears @ the 8 & 3 Eagles at 7.00am Saturday morning A Feast of Football with another 11 games to come on Monday

@Gorgoroth Rams/Tampa game was over early, there again, I thought the same with the Eagles/Dallas game Stafford has to be red hot favourite for the MVP. 29 TD's & only 2 Int Goff is 21 & 4 so both teams have done well out of the swap

How 'bout them Cowboys! It looked all over at 21-0 in the Eagles favour

Tips @titan_uranus @Dr. Gonzo

Patriots, Seahawks, Jags
