What are peoples' opinion on Bock? He played quite well at the end of last season and played well against the cats in the NAB cup. Thoughts?

Yeah maybe. As you should know he's suspended for the first two weeks, then he's facing the rd 13 bye which is diffcult enough...

i'm actually really tempted... despite the problem of him missing the first two rounds, it seems he will be playing up forwards alot from what i've heard, and has been dominant in these positions....

i've had a shuffle around and figured out I can fit him into my team as a replacement for grimes which hopfeully could work out well!  :-X

He's playing one good game, don't declare your love for him purely based on that. Even if he can replicate that performance twice in the next two weeks he'll still find it very hard to jump into my team, especially with that suspension.

Don't give us this one good game stuff mate. Come on.

In 2008 he averaged 84
In 2009 he averaged 87.8
In 2010 he averaged 79 (while battling a heel injury and GC speculation and expectation)
In 2011 he averaged 81 (in the bottom team with a bunch of 18 year olds)
In 2012 he could easily average 85+ IMO with all the kids around him and the team as a whole improving. Add to this the lack of lock-down role he seems to be getting now-a-days.

I am keen, on my watchlist. Key to the captain loophole puzzle perhaps?

Jukes

Wow he did? Sorry I'd better get my stats right lol.

In that case, yeah he sounds good and I'll watch him but I still doubt he'll get into my team unless Heppell/Shaw feck up during the pre-season.

Yeah haha :P Really I think it's unhealthy that I knew so much about Bock's fantasy history ;)
His round 13 bye isn't great for the backline though unfortunately...
