    It would be great to see Rodgers turn it on and he will have at least a few big performances in him But Champion players just can't do it all the time when they get older (Brady being the outlier) Plus, if they hit him hard it will take it's toll His best chance, and the Jets best chance, is if he is used in a Brady-like way with protection being the main focus Long, deep, accurate throws? Maybe, but he's 40

    The Falcons could win the NFC South, all the same, as 9 or 10 wins could get it done. A knockout hope Carolina have no chance and Tampa & the Saints are both flakey In fact, my top 4 overall in the NFC sits at Dallas, 49ers, Eagles & the Lions After that, it's hard to find a team that could legitimately challenge

    Big game today! A lot of eyes will be on Aaron Rodgers with regards to his overall ability at the ripe old age of 40 In his last year at GB, he was sacked a lot, but the offensive line was banged up back then And the Jets defence being strong is another big factor that Rodgers wouldn't have seen a lot of As for the 49ers, they are coming off a SB loss so it will interesting to see how they bounce back McCaffrey being out for San Francisco is a blow (calf) And a year on, Purdy could be even more of a weapon 49ers 28 Jets 18

    Both teams should get a possession in overtime. The current ruling doesn't seem fair to me And I'm not talking through my hip pocket either (as far as I can remember, GB have never been on the receiving end as the Rams were today) Chances are that after a tough game, the toss of the coin before overtime has a big influence on the result. Both defences can be banged up so a decent offense can afford to be quite patient in advancing the ball Just one possession for each team makes sense

    Well, these external reviews have worked big time for the Cats, Tigers & Pies so I'm all in on barracking for the external review!!

    Well, on the road to the possible appearance in the NFC Championship game, you could try and enjoy the journey With regards to my team, as it stands right now, without Jordan Love for the foreseeable future, it's going to be tough for the Packers But, we're still an outside chance for a wild-card spot if Love gets back sooner rather than later, so you never know Mind you, with Dallas at 25-1 or even 20-1 to win the SB, it seems that Vegas agrees with you!! Hee hee

    Well, right now, I'd rather be in your position than numerous other teams Dallas 25-1 to win the SB is juicy odds

    Yes, a lot of positives for the Cowboys considering it was a virtual pick 'em game (-1.5 Dallas) A loss wouldn't have ended your season but any win on the road is often a bit of a bonus

    Everyone on the board in the tipping comp! Now, that's a first! No real surprises in the games this morning although the Bengals & Falcons losing were minor upsets Rams @ Lions & Jets @ 49ers are the games that many are looking forward to

    7Mate Games ... 3.00am Titans @ Bears 6.25am Washington @ Tampa Followed by the Armchair Experts with Ben Graham (9.30am)
  14. Tigers & Cats both had extensive reviews* and success followed soon after. Actually, the following year (2006/2007 & 2016/2017) At the time, both Thompson & Hardwick were under a lot of pressure but were kept on *Geelong's was an external review as was Richmond's

    Sydney Showgrounds Stadium (ENGIE Stadium) What's ENGIE? (rhetorical question as I really don't care) Capacity 23,500 Which begs the question, isn't there an obsession with maximising crowds? And doesn't Cat Park (Kardinia Park) hold 40,000?

    @Gorgoroth What's the go with the Rams? The bookies have got them as long shots to be the Super Bowl winner (35-1) Yet the Rams are roundabout even money to make the Playoffs (5-4)

    I didn't have high expectations this season mainly because I reckon Love needs more time to improve. 4-10 weeks out with the small amount of info available The back-up 'Malik Willis' was formerly the QB at the Titans and only arrived 2 weeks ago so he's got it all before him

    Apparently Love was walking unassisted so might be ligament damage only. But that can be 6-8 weeks if it's major damage. Worse case scenario is a leg break near the ankle but I'm not sure he could walk around at all if it was that bad Eagles too good even though the scores were close. It felt like they were in control of the game for the most part with the difference being Barkley?

    Sure but JHF was one of their best player last night in my view But did one Port player beat his opposite number? They are a Jekyll & Hyde team so if Port are allowed to play on their own terms, they'll beat the Dogs or Hawks But it is a big if
  24. Macca replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yep but I thought JHF at least gave it his all. His teammates were AWOL He's an easy head to kick but he wasn't the problem
