<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Kings of Karlos (136pts) def Billy Bass (73pts)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]A blow out at the home of the KOK's, with Drew Brees leading all Round 4 scores, and the KOK's, to a comprehensive win.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Kings of Karlos - It was not quite all Brees (32), but he was certainly the main man, as he tore apart the Fins in MNF. Locker posted a nice score (18pts) prior to going off with a hip injury, which is likely to sideline him for a few weeks at least, leaving the abysmal Josh Freeman in line to take over the QB2 spot for the KOK's. Bell (19pts) enjoyed his stint in London and looks to be the No.1 man in Tomlin's run game, whilst Welker (19pts) continues to enjoy his new found friend in Peyton. Playing Stevie J against the Ravens was questionable, especially with Josh Gordon on the pine?? The KOK's had Patterson, Ball, and Lacy (as well as Gordon) all resting on the bench, which bodes extremely well for this team in the years ahead, and if Gio can continue to build into the season in his rookie year (with such a rubbish QB, this is looking more and more likely), the KOK's figure to be there when the whips are cracking this season.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Billy Bass - No Rodgers, no Billy Bass. The aforementioned rubbish, red-headed QB struggled (5pts) mightily against the Browns, but was still better than Henne (a donut - did he actually play?). Dalton's poor form also limited AJ's output, as the star WR was kept to 5pts himself. Sproles tried hard (23pts), but there was little support outside of the Frenchman Garcon (11pts) and the Bills D who did nicely to pick of Flacco 5 times in their upset win over the Ravens.

The earliest time the draft can be held is 7.00am US time which works out to be 10pm AEST.



So it is back to the drawing board for all of the drafts except for the Premier League.



Can we move Division Two to Tuesday 22nd of October at 10.00pm AEST?

Can we move Division Three to Monday 21st of October at 10.00pm AEST?

Can you please put forward your suggestions for the Division One draft?



The only options available is to hold the draft on a weekend and the latest time the draft can be held is 4.45PM AEST.

Otherwise the draft will need to be held on a weeknight and the earliest time to hold the draft is 10.00pm AEST.

I will throw it out to the members of Div 1 as to what they want to do?

My apologies about of all this. I was just updating the draft settings and I noticed the times available for the snake draft have changed to what they were only a few weeks ago!

<p style='text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;]Rather mediocre performances by both teams left this game hanging in the balance going into MNF - thankfully for Billy Bass, the Von Miller and Champ Bailey-less Broncos allowed a few too many points down the stretch to see Biily Bass post their first victory for the season
<p style='text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;]Billy Bass - A rather un-Rodgers (11pts) like performance left a lot on the shoulders of his receiving and running core, and despite AJ (10pts) showing flashes and Bradshaw (16pts) scoring nicely whilst sharing the load with the former Brown T-Rich, White (1pt), Sproles (4pts) (Breeze kept throwing to Graham), Whitten (6pts) (Murray kept running the ball) and Garcon (8pts) (RGIII still finding his mojo) just didn't come to the party. The Bills D going into the negatives against the Jets didn't help much either!
<p style='text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;]Canuck Warriors - Little to be happy about here, with Canuck going to 1 and 2 on the back of a pretty ordinary performance. Vick and RGIII were average (15 and 12 pts respectively) in the Skins and Eagles losses, and Foster (5pts), Ridley (3pts) and Fitz (6pts) looked decidedly below average, where that leaves Bowe (0 POINTS in a Chiefs win!) is anyone's guess, probably the pine next week for Canuck, who had Golden Tate (10pts) enjoy the Seahawks dominance over the Jags, but resting his legs for the Warriors. Old man Gates did his best to rally the troops, but a sloppy second half by the Bronco's D left the Warriors 10 points short in the end.

So the AFL season is over for 2013. What? There's STILL another match to be played? Oh, the Grand Final. That's right. It's hard to follow when your team isn't playing. Although I should be quite used to that right? Anyway, while we countdown the days to what should be an epic Grand Final, I think now is the time to bring up the issue that is the Club-By-Club reviews for the entire season.

Stkildathunda and Myself are looking for people who would like to write a review for their clubs. Now, this isn't going to be like what I put together at different intervals throughout the season. No. This is going to be a good old detailed and informative review (not that mine weren't!). We are looking for some expert views on each club and who better than you, the club supporters, to do that?!

So I'll keep this short and sharp. If you are interested in writing your clubs SC review for season 2013, feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below and also shoot through a Private Message to either SKT or myself. If more than one person wants to cover a club, I'm sure we can put together a couple of reviews.

Adelaide-
Brisbane-
Carlton-
Collingwood-
Essendon-
Fremantle-
Geelong-
Gold Coast-
GWS-
Hawthorn-
Melbourne- SuperCoachSuperStar
North Melbourne-
Port Adelaide- Bearfly
Richmond- TTT
St Kilda- SKT
Sydney-
WCE-
Western Bulldogs- Jason


Okay so if you're interested, follow the instructions above. Make sure if you are doing one, to put in as much detail as possible. SKT will be doing one this week for the Saints and everyone can use that as a sort of template. This will probably work as a first in, best dressed sort of thing so if you want to write a review, let us know! And of course, feel free to choose a different club if the one you support is already taken, or you want a challenge!

Alright, cheers everyone,

TTT

Over the next few days, you will receive an email inviting you to join your respective league. Once you receive this email, please accept the invite ASAP and create your team name. It makes my job much easier in assigning the draft picks if all of the teams have been created in each league.

For those players playing in our leagues for the first time, we use a snake draft whereby it works in reverse order for each round. For example, with 12 team leagues, the person who gets pick one will then have to wait until the end of the second round (pick 24) for their next pick and then they have the first pick in the next round (e.g pick 25).

We have a roster of 13 positions (10 starting, 3 bench) and an IR spot. The positions are PG,SG,SF,PF,C,G,F and 3 utility positions.

It is important to note that you can trade draft picks before the draft. If you need assistance with requesting a trade of draft picks, just post something in the comments below and one of us regulars will answer your question.



<div>Onto the draft, the first game of the NBA season is on 30th of October (Wed morning our time). We need to hold the drafts before the week ending Friday 25th of October to enable all players not picked in the draft to clear waivers before the first game starts.

I have some good news about the timing of the drafts. Previously we have been locked into the times that ESPN have allowed, e.g it normally opened at 7.00am US time which meant we had to start the draft at 11.00pm if you held the draft during a weeknight.

This year, ESPN now has a 24hr option to run the draft which means we can hold the draft anytime we want (which is great for us).

Therefore I propose each league holds their draft sometime in the week starting Sunday the 21st of October and before Saturday 26th of October. You can hold your draft earlier than this if you want to but most players will want to see what happens in the preseason before holding the draft.

Please...

Firstly, GO THE DOCKERS!
Might have even given the logo a slight tinge in your honor. Nothing like a good underdog right?
(Also, apologies to you Hawk fans out there- but you guys are definitely not the underdogs! You're also the Hawks. )
Next, the Brownlow night. Always fun to cheer on the count with a few TS nuts and some beer and a giant brownlow counting screen.
How can you go wrong!?!
The Lagerfeld is pretty easy to find. Ground floor, near the Clarendon street entrance. 7:30 seems a good time to get there yeah?
Awesome. See you there!

I'll start off with the final make up of the leagues:
Although, I firstly want to point out that I'll drop those relegated and send out new invites etc sometime this week. Apologies for the delay.
