Nathan Bock of Gold Coast has been a solid SuperCoach defender over the years. With injuries in 2012, a discounted Bock could be of value?
Name - Nathan Bock (GCS)
Position - DEF
Price - $297,400
Average - 61.8(4), 93.8(21), 83.2(13), 99.8(14), 90.3(22)
Draw - STK, SYD, BRL, PORT, GWS, FRE, MEL, RIC, HAW, GEE, NTH, ESS, BYE
I have been holding off writing an article on Nathan Bock until we had a better idea on whether Bock will be available for round 1. This appears to have occurred with the Suns defender Bock backed for AFL opener.
In 2012, Bock played games from round 3 to round 6, with the round 6 game against Fremantle being a sub effected score.
Bock is priced at 55.6 even though he averaged 61.8 in 2012 as he received a 10% discount.
REASONS FOR NATHAN BOCK
Bock is obviously underpriced being at 55.6 when his average over the last 4 years is 93.3. Bock's average does not appear to have changed with this move from Adelaide to Gold Coast.
Bock is also the vice-captain in a young side, so there is no issue of job security.
Bock is priced too low compared to his expected output to ignore. I can see Bock averaging between 85-95, either way there is not much risk picking Bock.
REASONS AGAINST NATHAN BOCK
The only real concern with Bock is that he is injury prone and not durable.
The other concern is obviously whether Bock will play in round 1. It would be interesting what people do, if the Guy McKenna comes out on the eve of the first game and says as a precaution we are holding Bock back until round 2.
Either way, Bock is a lock, so Lock Bock I don't think there will be any surprises with the poll, however we might as well go through the process.
Verdict: LOCKED(1)
EXTRA DISCUSSIONS WITH NATHAN BOCK
Presumably the results of the Bock poll will be mostly Watch(3) to Lock(1) in terms of being initially in our SuperCoch team, but I wonder if anyone will use Bock as a Pinch Hitter and trying to get a top 6 premium defender.
