To Bock or not to Bock

[Russ dogga]

With Bugg scoring 103 as my emergency is it worth putting big Nath Bock into my team?

My backline is Goddard, Deledio, Birchall, Broughton, Golby, Hargrave, Elllis. Meaning i would have to replace him with someone. Bock scored well with scores of 24,27(nab 1) 94 and 85 in NAB lookin like a good year in fullforward.

Hes out for the first 2 weeks so putting him on the field will give me Buggs score but is it worth waiting till rd 3 for him? and who to replace

Unless its guaranteed that a rookie will score 100 in rd 2 then no its not a good pick.

if bugg had of scored 20 and you still would take bock than its a good pick. If your only after bock to get buggs score, than it is a stupid pick

However if you're looking to go relatively unique with a speculative pick and are happy with the numbers Bock has put up this preseason and last season, then it's not a bad decision. It may be risky in week 2 relying on Ellis or Bugg to play and play well - but it's at least worth contemplating.

If people are doing this and changing there whole structure for one round, then that is just silly. In the long run sacrificing a premiums points for an entire season for short term points is a terrible idea.
