Drawn game at half time, 9ers up by 10 in the last quarter and had the ball. Chiefs defence forced a punt. Mahomes threw a ridiculous long pass got a first down close to goal. Then hit Williams for TD with conversion. 24-20 Chiefs up

 

[Val Keating]

Williams been huge too. Just ended the game

Williams might edge out Mahomes for BOG

The King Corey Chiefs are leading 31 - 20 with a minute to go!

I might finally be able to move all those KC caps I got made up after a crazy afternoon of Kombuchas at Chadstone.

Only 24 years old. He’ll be an all time great in my uneducated opinion

It's like a pride of lions mate.

The big alpha (I think we all know who that is) cherrypicks (literally) the best on offer and hands off any scraps on a whim.

Moral ?

Don't have an aussie in your super-bowl team.
Jinx.

Which equates to about half an hour.

How can a game that is supposed to last for 4 quarters of 10 minutes each, go for about 4 hours (give or take)?

Would have slotted very nicely into the Bulldogs 2016 premiership side. Can throw a very good ball.

With my limited knowledge of the game, I'd say it's the start stop nature.

That's one of the things I can't stand about boring meathead American football. Nothing happens. And for like about 4 hours worth of it, as you say. Plus they've got enough padding and protection to outdo the Michelin Man. Slow as molasses to watch, plus a generally crap culture that goes with it. Michael Vick comes to mind.

CFL (Canadian Football League) is marginally better, but that's mostly cos we regularly play in snowstorms. But overall neither can hold a candle to AFL footy. Not even close. You guys have got the best game on the planet, hands down for mine. (And that includes better than ice hockey too! And lacrosse a close second.)

I'm an ice addict these days. Go the Islanders!

It lasted about as long as an AFL game.

[Hello Mr Thompson]

I disliked NFL until I got off my ass and learnt how the downs worked. Honestly you can pick up the rest once you know that.

Yeah once I figured that out I started enjoying the game. Still so much I don’t understand but I still enjoy it.
