Good Evening Coaches, Bob and I hope you are looking forward to the Round 9 pick of week winners as we have some crackers coming up for you.
That's right Jim there were some amazing matches in Round 9, so without further ado lets get straight to it.
First up Bob, we have ground player of the week. Art Monk of Grenburg Greenskins in a match vs the Muckenhof Manticores.
A great game by Art Monk, Jim. He picks up the ball in (1) T1 and makes sure no-one is getting it off him until he runs it in for the opening TD on T15. Then in (2) T16 he runs in the winning TD.

But Bob, Art was not the only winner of the week from that match was he?
No Jim, are unsung hero no-more, John Riggins of the Grenzburg Greenskins picked up the Slayer of Week award.
What a week for Riggins Bob, firstly in (1) T7 he pows the blodgin ogre "Tiny" Malone, leaving him with a niggling injury. Then on (2) T6 he breaks the neck of Jarek Bukowski.
What's even more impressive Jim is there was not a mighty blow or pile-on in sight.

Brilliant Bob and though i say this with all due respect for your size, it was not a week to be an ogre eh?
Sadly you are right Jim, as this week's sucker of the week award goes to my compatriot Victor Pitchfork of the Skar Bay Sharks, in their match vs the Middenheim Classics.
Well Bob it started promisingly, as Pitchfork showed good hands in picking up a loose ball in 2 TZ's on (2) T6. - Then in (2) T9, he senses a chance for glory and attempts to blitz the Middenheim catcher to make a break for the end zone, but then boneheads and is subsequently hit on (2)T10 by Carlos Hyde of the Classics, ending up as BH.

Well Jim, from the lows to high eh? as next up we have air player of the week Jace Amaro of the Praag Grizzlies, for his game vs Carroburg Crimson Cascade.
I'm too lazy to look it up Jim, but I think Jace is the first player to win both a Ground and Air player of the week award, let alone in the same season.
Jace had a great game Bob. In (1) T16, he bisects two CCC players with dodges, before throwing for the equalising TD. Then in (2) T15, he threw another TD to give the Grizzlies a 3-2 lead and surely the win ....

Whoah, not so fast their Jim, because that was not the end..... Step forward now our play of the week Winner, TJ Graham of the Crimson Carroburg Cascade.
Bob, he was amazing, not one, but two OTTD's in the match, with his last one tying the game for the Trip C's on the very last turn and earning a point. His last turn OTTD featured a daring blitz right at the end to break a small hole in the Grizzlies' defence.
