Would be nice if they announced the dates
And some better teams.
Rams or ok though I guess…

Mitch Cleary reckons the AFL believe this game will be the 10th or 11th of September. Semi final weekend.
and their mascot is called “Blitz”!!
I see their owner has helped set up a foundation that has supported a heap of non-profits too.
And I do like Seattle. Was one of the most Melbourne-like cities, not just coffee!
The Sea-Chickens are thoroughly more likeable now that Russell Wilson is gone.
Good timing for Essendon supporters.
Dang, thought the Packers were a chance. They have a road game scheduled against the Rams. Oh well.
49ers makes a lot more sense although I wouldn’t have thought the Rams would want to give up a home division game.
On this, bringing it up for my understanding. Only started following this year.
I understand that in some circumstances it’s not just catching the ball, it’s completing the play in control. So, if a WR catches on the sideline cleanly, both toes in, but then when he lands the ball jars loose it isn’t a catch. Some commentators I saw seemed to be saying it’s the same here. That he had to control it to the end. But I don’t really know when the rules change. They certainly seem different for touch downs.
We’ve never done something half so stupid as the Deshawn Watson trade and contract.
Yeah, they used to have a rule “the ground can’t cause a fumble”. I thought it was a sensible rule.
Now, the ground has been brought in to play defence: the ground CAN cause a fumble.
Also, they now say the receiver has to not only catch the ball, get two feet down (or as we know, one knee = two feet 
) but he also has to “perform a football action”. That is, he has to make the catch then look like he is doing the next thing, such as turning downfield, etc. It could even be dropping down. This rule mainly covers fumbles - to be fumbles, they have to be after the “football action”. At least that is how I understand the explanations given by the expert commentators.
I believe the game will be played on a Monday or Tuesday morning at 10am.
That trade was not only horrendously, astonishingly stupid, but was identified as such by everyone at the time it was done. What on earth were they thinking?
Superbowl Sunday is here!!
Go Seahawks is pretty much all I need to say. Aussie Punter, West Coast team- and Seattle is as close to a Canadian city as you’d want!
Nachos, finger food and the comfy couch all in action.
I’m at work but have set the recording for the game so I can watch tonight when I get home. As such, I will not be back in this thread until tonight (although I have no doubt that my efforts to avoid spoilers is doomed to fail). I’m not exactly cheering for Seattle as much as I’m hoping the Patriots lose.
Enjoy the day, yawl.
The Superbowl is going up on the big screen at the office. Productivity this morning will be a little lower than normal.
GO PATS!!
May aswell make everyone a “captain”
If Darnold plays clean, Seahawks in a blowout
