<p style='text-align: justify; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;]Billy Bass (77) def Canuck Warriors (67)
<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,

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. :p )
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.

<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]Billy Bass (95) lost to Canton Bulldogs(115)
<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]In a see-sawing affair, Canton prevailed to remain undefeated in 2013/14, coming from a long way back after Rodger's heroics for Billy to win away from home.
<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]Billy Bass: Rodgers posted career high numbers (34-42, 480 yds 4TDs), but lacked support outside of Garcon (143 yds, TD) playing opposite him in the &amp;lsquo;Skins v Packers match-up. Dalton in MNF (25-45, 280 yds, TD) tried hard to pull them over the line, a pity he couldn't connect with AJ more often to help out Billy's cause. With Bullock kicking poorly and the Packers conceding points in junk time to RGIII and co it was not enough for Billy to get up.
<p style='margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: justify;]Canton Bulldogs (Johnson): One word - Skittles!! Lynch was massive in a flag fest in the Seahawks nest, with both Kaepaernik and Wilson struggling through the air, Lynch got the job done on the ground with 98 yds, 2 running TDs and a passing TD to top it off. Manning (the great one) continued on his fine start to the year (30-43, 307 yds, 2TD). Moreno (93 yds, 2TD) sat on the pine, but has likely played himself into the starting line-up for next week, whilst Freddy Davis may be a FA very shortly if he can't connect with RGIII in the very near future.
