<p style='text-align: justify; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;]This game was in the balance going into MNF, but the Bulldogs Chicago contingent got the job done for Canton to move them 2 games clear in the NFC.
<p style='text-align: justify; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;]
<p style='text-align: justify; -ms-text-justify: inter-ideograph;]Canton Bulldogs - This was a game that looked to be slipping away late on Sunday night until it was revived by an outstanding second half performance by Hilton (30 - 121 yards, 3 TDs) on SNF, and then the rout was complete when Forte (23 - 125 yards, TD), Jeffery (12 - 60 yards, TD) and McCown (20 - 272 yards, 2 TDs) played big parts in the Bears win over the Packers in MNF. Flacco (20 - 250 yards, 2 TDs) did enough for the Ravens, but still lacks the consistent receivers and a run game that was once boasted, but now looks easily controlled most weeks. Beastmode (13 - 125 yards) was his bustling best for Seattle but couldn't find the end zone, and even Folk (16) got into the act in New York as the Jets surprised the Saints as his perfect season continued and looks like being a great mid-year pick-up for Canton. The only soft spots for Canton was the dip in form of their TE, Jordan Reed (4 - 37 yards), Jones (6 - 66 yards) not being able to repeat last weeks antics, and the Cincy D/ST (5) minus Geno Atkins battled against the Fins.

Premier League



Wade Machine (1-0) 1459 defeated King of Karlos (0-1) 1178



Wade Machine bounced straight out of the blocks and posted the highest score in the premier league this round. The surprise packet MCW led the way with (208/3) with support from Curry (150/3) and Monroe (135/3). Karlos played 4 less games this round and was best served by Hawes (167/3), followed by Lillard (161/3) and Durantula (159/3).

2 Gasols 1 Eyebrow (1-0) 1276 defeated Too Seriouseses (0-1) 1186



This was a battle of the 2 teams promoted from Division One last year and it was close match throughout. Both teams played 38 matches but days 4 and 5 of this matchup is where Jet was able to gain a crucial advantage. The Monobrow was a beast this round (234/3), Pau Gasol (139/3) and Conley (143/3) were next in line. Walesy would have been happy with the efforts of George (179/3), Bosh (171/4) and Nelson (127/4).

Run TMC (1-0) 1175 defeated Ruddy's Cavaliers (0-1) 810



The reigning champ has got off to a shaky start and it did not help playing only 28 matches in this round. The strategy of drafting 4 Bobcats players may prove costly to Ruddy in the longer term but time will tell. Run TMC showed no mercy in this matchup and LBJ even had a quiet round this round for his standards by only scoring (202/4). Jimmy Butler (137/3) and J Smoove (127/3) were the next best scorers. Ellis was the best for Ruddy with (135/3) with good support from Afflalo (115/4) and Walker (112/3).

Heaver (1-0) 1270 defeated Jasmine's Mob (0-1) 1126



This has always been a good match over previous seasons and this one did not disappoint either. Heaver built a strong lead over the first 4 days of the round and Jasmine was unable to peg it back. The Beard (166/3) was the best for Heaver followed by Horford (144/3) and Teague (141/3). Somewhat surprisingly Boozer was the highest scorer for Jasmine with (147/3)...

<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]The Juggernaut maintains the 1 seed in the AFC with a strong victory over the Bunch at home, which fall to the bottom of the NFC standings and perhaps start looking towards 2014&amp;hellip;.
<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]Jimbos Juggernaut - Ellington (21) having a day out against Atlanta and Romo (20) dynamic against Detroit were the standouts for the Juggernauts. Tannehill (10) put together a good first half before being overwhelmed by a banged up Patriots D, The Rams D/ST (11) were good in MNF, with Quinn particularly awesome racking up 3 sacks before half time, and not to be outdone, Long recorded 3 sacks also. Charles (11) had a quietish outing by his lofty standards but still contributed, whilst their other star RB, Shady McCoy (5), fell short of expectations. With a strong clutch of QB's (Luck out with a bye), an outstanding run game, and two of the better WR's in the game in Cruz (8) and the Steelers Brown (8), the Juggernaut are rolling purposively towards a very high season finish, if not the championship.
<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]Brady's Bunch - Nelson (24) put up big numbers on the end of a dominant Rodgers performance, the Pats D/ST clicked into gear after half time, and some average performances by Big Ben (11), DeAngelo Williams (10) and MJD (11) put some respectability on the scoreboard in what was a well beaten team. Geno (2) got hammered by Geno Atkins and co in the Bengals D-line, and even got mercifully taken out of the game late, Boldin (5) continues to suffer from the 49ers insistence on a dominant run game, and Cumberland and Thompkins didn't trouble the...

<p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 18px;]Ok, we've got the net effects of trade week, along with your teams positions in the upcoming draft.
<p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 18px;]Now, on with the yearly tradition: Who won trade week this year?
<p style='font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: 18px;]For mine, the winners are as follows.



Thomas and Docherty is great ins for the Blues, while Hampson and pick 33 aren't massive outs.



Collingwood have collected pick 6, along with Jesse White, Taylor Adams and Karnezis, for the low low price of Shaw, Paine and picks 31 and 49. Great trading for the future of the club, and only really an issue if Cloke goes down long-term.



North, you can't fault- picking up Dal Santo for free.



St. Kilda started the week well behind, but have finished the week with their noses in front for mine. Dal Santo and McEvoy are big outs, but Savage, Delaney, Longer, Bruce and Pick 18/19 are massive ins.



Of course, the massive loser of the week was Brisbane. Massive outs for moderate returns.



On a whole though, most other clubs balance out to at least even though- what's your thoughts?



Winners/Losers.



Adelaide



In: James PODSIADLY, Eddie Betts, Pick 23 (FA Compo)

Out: Bernie Vince, Pick 64



Picks: 23, 36



Brisbane



In: Jackson Paine,Trent West,Pick 22, 25...

I'll enter the results of each draft separately in the comments, but here is a table of all combined, in order of ave pick. If a player was not drafted in a draft, I have marked them down as being pick 157.



All up, there were 184 players drafted.






So, let us know in the comments how you think you went.



Also, I'd like to hear who you think drafted the best in your league (or of all leagues), and if you had any surprises seeing the results here below, or even during the draft for that matter.

<p style='text-align: justify;]Canton Bulldogs (142) def Team Stowie (102)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canton continued their winning ways in a dominant performance to go atop the NFC standings at 5-2, whilst Team Stowie slips to 3-4 in the AFC
<p style='text-align: justify;].
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Canton Bulldogs - Outside of Hilton (2 pts) and the Bengals D/ST (-1 FFS), Canton were outstanding all over the ground. Peyton returned to Indy to post brilliant Fantasy points (25) again (much to Irsays delight I imagine as his Indy devoured the previously undefeated Bronco's) with 3 TD passes and 386 yards. But he was ably supported by Flacco (13 - 215 yards, TD), Beastmode (15 on 91 yards, TD - should have been more, enough with you carrying the ball Rusty, just FEED THE BEAST), and Moreno (10 - 40 yards, TD). But the real story was the performances of Vinny Jackson (25 - 138 yards, 2 TDs) who has developed a lovely relationship with Glennon out in Tampa, Jordan Reed (19 - a buck thirty-four yards, TD), who is closing in on Jordan Cameron as rookie TE of the year, and Matt Forte, who stepped up in Cutlers absence to post 3 TD and 91 yards for the day (28). Jeffery, whilst cozy on the pine for Canton, continued his hot-cold streak with 105 yards in the Bears loss to Washington to further emphasize the strength of this squad. How Forte and Jeffer<a name='_GoBack][/url]y deal with Cutlers absence will be an intriguing feature for the weeks ahead for Canton.

<p style='text-align: justify;]Jimbos Juggernaut (114) def Rigil Kentaurus (98)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Jimbo's team was too good for the boys from Rigil inflicting their first loss for the season.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Jimbo's Juggernaut : Ably led by the Rams d/st (25) and the two RB's Charles(24) and Shady McCoy(14) the Juggernauts were able to run all over Rigil and despite relatively quiet games from the two QB's, Romo(8) and Luck(7) it was a much needed and well deserved win.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Rigil Kentaurus : In more bad news for Rigil it looks like Murray(10) could be out a few weeks to join the season ending loss of Julio last week. Time for the backups to stand up and take up the slack if Rigil is to continue their early season good form. The QB combination of Stafford(23) and Cutler(20) continue to work well together.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]So Long Mr Wallace(89) def Brady's Bunch(87)
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]In a low scoring encounter it was Mr. Wallace who came away with the much needed win.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]So Long Mr Wallace: Off to a great start in TNF where Marshall(20) impressed as the bears number 1 WR while Blackmon(19) looks to finally show the potential he had in college when the Jags drafted him in the first round. With Wilson (16) and Palmer(15) playing well it helped to make up for the duck eggs laid by Graham and Shorts, both injured and both important players for Mr Wallace.
<p style='text-align: justify;]
<p style='text-align: justify;]Brady's Bunch : In an even contribution across the board from the Bunch this game was going down to the wire in MNF but Rivers(13) couldn't quite get the numbers needed...

Well, just over 12 months since we started and the W2SP crew are finally starting to find their feet in this cut-throat world of punting to try and make some money and have some fun.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to complete catching up on the paperwork to determine what our exact position was at our 1 year anniversary on 22nd September, however I can report 2 very memorable things from our first 12 months.
#1 - Russkoit (or Sir Rusty Money Buckets as I like to call him) has proven himself to be the standout performer in the club with a current ROI% (return on investment) of 383% - that's $633 outlay for a return of $2422 - waaaay2go Rusty
#2 - during the later stages of the AFL season we tried to crack some decent returns through combined club bets targeting footy multi's. With the season winding up and the Spring Racing Carnival firing up, we decided to have a crack at making these combined club bets work again, this time targeting the quaddies...........And last weekend we cracked one, a $1300+ return from a 1.27% share of what proved to be a massive quaddie payout in Melbourne.
So moving on from here, we will now be aiming to place these club quaddies each weekend (plus maybe even those couple of midweek meetings that are part of the Spring Carnival) to try and pull in some more of these Spring Carnival riches.
Many punters realise that the Spring Carnival regularly throws up some massive dividends in the exotic betting pools (quaddies, trebles, trifectas, first4's, exactas), and it's no surprise really - big fields full of predominately good horses will often see the runners at double figure odds causing what many see as an upset - however it's not often really an upset because more often than not the favoured horses have just been backed into prices below their true value.
So now we are getting ourselves set for a serious crack at taking out some of these decent quaddie payouts, hence this article.
All W2SP members who love their horse racing...
