ROK has bolted out of the blocks this week with another big game from Kosi.

Meanwhile, my match committee may have questions asked of it at the end of the round with 32 points from Guerra being left on the bench - only time will tell if that selection will prove costly.

Kosi, Kosi, Kosi...

146 PigDogs..........Chick, Daniel WC Back
147 GofG............ Koschitzke, Justin SK Ruck
148 Mullumbimby....Kingsley, Adam PA Back

Who says there is no value late in the draft? Rd 11 pick.

The only thing with that is that he hadn't returned from injury at the time the draft happened, otherwise he may have gone earlier.

Bastard! I was going to pick him with my next pick

Same. Should have picked him up one earlier as McDonald has been useless (although given I nearly picked him this week but didn't, he'll probably star against Freo!!).

Interesting situation in Scott's game of the round - what was seemingly a relatively insignificant play where the Dogs kicked a goal against Geelong through Johnson late in the game when the result was already certain could make the difference for me between a win and a loss.

Johnson's mark, kick and goal added 15 points to his score - 6th mark going from 0.2 to 1.0, 25th possession to go from 1.1 to 2.0 and first goal to score 1.0 proved very handy.

The Koolaid Men are 11.16.82 with 4 players still to come, while Mike's Marvels are 7.6.48 from 2 players used.

Great, Crawford injured himself in the warmup

Who left Guerra on the bench??

That would be me - unfortunately he's the kind of player who will score 16 one week, get dropped the next, then score 6, before turning in a 32 point effort. Really never know what you're going to get from him. Would prefer a solid expectation of 15 rather than the uncertainty of what I'll get from Brent.

This is the essence of what makes this game tricky. It's just pure guess work from week to week to decide on who to include and who to leave on the bench.

Which is why I've gone for more consistent scoring players, even if it means they may not score as high at times either.

I thought of grabbing him when you offered him as trade bait, but I had the some worry as you "up and down". I need to good scores tmrw to catch bloods.

I gotta hope WC defence is crap and, Goodes and MOL are crap. But I think the 2 might be mutually exclusive tmrw.

[NMWBloods]

Yeah, Goodes and O'Loughlin are key for me.

However, given you've only used two players, you're not in such a bad position.

If only I could Mitchell and Goodwin back!!

Why do you think I put him up as bait - capable of good scores, but inconsistent - something where there is value, but not guaranteed...
