Macca

Keep up the good fight, @hardtack Our thoughts and prayers are with you always 🙏 ❤️

It was all a bit anticlimactic (a bit like the actual SB!) but nevertheless, someone had to win the post season comp More importantly, the regular season comp worked well with the changes in the points system ... kept everyone interested throughout, which is what we wanted

Our weak spot is taking marks in the hot spot. Because of that, our forward forays are often via the cape

Alternatively Johnson plays FF with JVR at CHF Turner the 3rd tall when needed In some ways the CHF position is more important than the FF position JVR has done ok when previously playing CHF and Johnson's role could be to add a physical presence (from the front position) Bringing the ball to ground for the crumbers (whilst taking the odd grab) We'll know more after the practice match and the match simulation

Effevtive immediately - 3 month ban for Jannik Sinner which allows him to play in the next Slam (French Open) WADA has formerly withdrawn it's appeal to CAS. Seems a fair result, all things considered

Josh Allen wins NFL MVP Lamar Jackson a close up 2nd Saquan Barkley a long way back in 3rd spot. Yet his season definitely rivals Adrain Peterson & LaDanuan Tomlinson (who both won the award as RB's) Could he have played any better? Averaging 142.7 yards per game He's the main reason the Eagles got to the SB (in my view)

The Eagles flew under the radar a trifle too ... Detroit & the NFC North, The Bills, Chiefs & Ravens in the AFC were often the main talking points The final real pointer was the Eagles demolishing the up & coming Washington in the NFC Championship And KC's luck ran out after so many narrow wins But hey, isn't hindsight a wonderful thing!!

Donald Rumsford-like, layz Not-noticed important players (the OL), barely noticed important people (the DL) and always noticed important persons (QB's, RB's, Andy Reid)

Local lads Hall & Oates might be front & centre in those Philadelphia bars right now (just after 2am?!) Dappa used to spend a bit of time in the States so he'll no doubt be celebrating hard!!!

Will the Chiefs draw a blank!!?

Now the KC Offensive linesman joins in with the Eagles D haha

Mahomes is going to have to do a 'Brady'

Men on a mission, JV

Is it over!!?

Wow!!

The Eagles D has been immense KC need to try something different to get on the scoreboard

That last offside was a gift from the KC defensive linesman. Inexcusable Could be very costly if the Eagles get a score on this drive

Incidental contact calls can ruin a game. Just let the players play The Tush Push! TD to the Eagles

2 early soft ref calls that cancel each other out? Yep, spot on

Excellent D by the Eagles

@DemonDave @layzie Tips, gentlemen! So what are we all doing re watching the SB? I've been going to the same SB get-together for over 20 years now (on and off when work permits) And my old cricket club has organised a SB function for over 10 years

If someone gave me $1k to bet on the SB then I'd probably back the Eagles ... but if it was my own money, I would have to back the Chiefs (in a close one) KC 1-6

Attention seekers mostly, BDA

Huge news with the NFL games in Melbourne!!
