Playing a guy with Heppell, Hurley, Otten, Astbury, Markovic, Buckley and McKernan in defence :|

Also has Watson, Zaharakis, Curnow, and Irons in the mid

Sandi (cover from Minson) though

Expecting to win purely because of the backline, eventhough they have 7 premium forwards and can shift in the middle to cover the missing players.

I expect some of the backs would have been traded out though....
 
Very evenly matched opponent this week - only 20/30 points between us.

With Watson already out, Swan a maybe and wondering whether the cats will rest some premium players there could be a few upsets this week.

I think you look pretty safe. Here's mine:

Me - Him
Deledio - Shaw
Adcock - Suckling
Puopolo - Buckley

Judd - Swan
A.Swallow - Pendlebury
Selwood - Hodge
Embley - Krakouer

Goodes - Fyfe
Pavlich - Chapman
Harvey - Petrie
N.Riewoldt - Rioli
 
Had completely forgotten about this until I noticed this thread today.

Needless to say, I'm still in the competition.... (otherwise I wouldn't be posting)

Differences:

Me: Him:
Adcock - Delidio
Scotland - Fisher
Lower - Gibson
Jacobs - Stanley
Hibberd - Pratt
Puopolo - Retzlaff

Boyd - Judd
Gibbs - Pendlebury
Goodes - Montagna
Heppell - Foley
Curnow - Mzungu

Cox - McEvoy
Tippett - Derickx

Sylvia - Reiwoldt (N)
Chapman - Duncan
Knights - Richardson
Darling - Jurrah
Petrie - Archer
Didak - Goodes

Now there will be a few bench players that won't be taking part in these squads.

I'm thinking of upgrading to Ablett in the midfield and adding Mzungu to the forwards, so will be interesting to see the final sides...
 
geez i didnt realise what eliminator was until i saw the link on the DT page. Im still in, and have an easy win this week
 
ME (ranked 44000) THEM (ranked 4400!)
Gilbert vs Goddard
Bartel vs Boyd
Thompson vs Swan
Enright vs Libba (back v mid to due Deledio being opposite)
Montagna vs DSwallow
Franklin vs Sylvia
Harvey vs Fyfe
OKeefe vs Goodes
Chapman vs Mckernan

I've had a shocker of a start this year but starting to get my act together now

That one could be extremely close, especially since it looks like he is set to upgrade in the mids.

Mine:

Me-Him
Enright - Suckling
Broughton - Hanley
Judd - Mitchell
Libba - D.Swallow
D.Harris - Pittard
Petrie - Z.Smith
Franklin - Sylvia
Goodes - Harvey
Pavlich - M.Duncan
N.Riewoldt - Krakouer
Darling - Matera

Fair bit of different players. Although my team will definitely be seeing some trades, Libbas place will certainly be taken by a premium mid.
 
Traded in Rockliff last week to bolster my midfield with Watson sitting on the pine. Now have both Watson and Rocky on the god damned pine for at least the next two rounds!@!!

Have a close match so feel another upgrade in the mids is needed.

Looking at Tapscott > Smith. Krak > Hodge.
 
Happy with the team I got this week. They average 1743 and ranked 101000. Not a bad team by any means but i should be able to win. I'm slightly worried they will make 2 upgrades this week and they have a lot of different players to me even though no one on their team is 'really unique'.

Sunny Boy's F.C

B: Goddard, Enright, Deledio, Carrazzo, Gilbert, Batchelor,
Grimes (?) (Heppell, Otten, Guthrie)

C: Swan, Goodes, Swallow, Selwood, Swallow, Liberatore (J.Van Berlo, Curnow, Helbig)

R: Petrie, Smith (Ryder, Hale)

F: Franklin, Johnson, N.Riewoldt, O'Keefe, Darling, Krakouer, Smith (Tapscott, Richardson, Gamble)

They seem to be holding alot of inured/non-selected players like Grimes, Curnow, Hale, Richardson, Gamble, J.Van Berlo so I assume that they may be going for a league win and are very keen to conserve trades so it would be nice to see them not trade this week. In saying that their team has good potential and has alot of players different to mine.

Me v Them

Scotland v Carrazzo
Gibbs v Enright
Duffield v Gilbert
Puopolo v Batchelor
Jacobs v Grimes (Replacement?)

Pendlebury v A.Swallow
Boyd v Goodes
Harris v D.Swallow
Bewick/Iles v Liberatore

Cox v Z.Smith

Harvey v O'Keefe
Knights v Darling
Chapman v Krakouer
Fyfe v Johnson
J.Riewoldt v I.Smith

This is assuming a few things. I assume that I trade in Chapman and Fyfe which is quite likely and that they make no trades which is unlikely. I've also assumed that I swing Petrie into my rucks and bench Z.Smith instead of benching a forward like Petrie/J.Riewoldt/Knights. I'm leaning towards playing those 3 forwards ahead of Smith but not certain and if Ottens is rested will really throw spanner in the works. Also if i don't trade in Fyfe and Chapman (I will trade in Lynch instead) I will most likely play Smith ahead of Lynch particularly if Ottens is rested. So a number of potential outcomes.

If I go really far left field I could bench Boomer who has a dreadful record against the Swans and play Smith/Petrie/J.Riewoldt/Knights ahead of him. Also with DP can choose to play Stanley or Iles ahead of Bewick, not a fan of Iles against Cats midfield, plus slightly worried about him being sub. So essentially down to Stanley v Bewick for me as i don't think Bewick will be sub again with Rockliff out. I'm leaning towards Bewick because I don't think that Stanley will get much opportunity if he spends a fair bit of time in forward 50 like he has been doing. Then again I'm quite worried that if i bench him he will play alot of midfield because they may need his mature body in the centre against the mature cats midfield.

Probably should have waited until teams had come out and I'd made my trades before posting but that is just a general idea of situation. Once again go in reasonably confident but I definitely respect their team and if they were to make 2 upgrades I could be in trouble.

Got my opponent.

He was 28,000th ranked last week (scored 2057), i was 1400th (2372).

he has Heppell, Sandilands and Tapscott. Doesnt have a back up ruck to cover sandi, so hopefully he doesnt trade.

Line up comparison (bold is my prediction for players on ground)

Backs (share-Gibbs, Goddard, Lower, Heppel(Bye))

Me- Opponent
Delidio - Gilbert
Enright - Grundy
Duigan - Mckernan
Jacobs (port)-Stanley (GC)
Toy - Scott Stevens
Ottens - Pedersen

Mids (Share - Swan - Selwood, Swallow - Hibberd (bye) - I SMith)

Boyd - Pendles
Montagna - Mitchell
Cotchin - Duncan
Prestia - Buckley

Rucks (Share Cox and Sandilands(inj) and Mccauley)

Z Smith - Keefe

Forwards (Share - Goodes-Pav-Chappy - Matera)

Franklin - Fyfe
Riewoldt- o'keefe
Knights -Darling
Krakouer- Richardson
Mzungu-Retzlaff
Harper-tapscott

He may have to trade

It could be a close game, hopefully I can edge him out.


Also tapscott & Enright are out. Swan SHOULD play but have a backup just incase. Don't know if Swanny will be played if its going to be a wet game
 
Massive differences this round

Me - Him
Deledio - R Murphy
Enright - Laidler
Jacobs - Lower
- Stanley

Boyd - Swan
Pendlebury -
Bartel - Pavlich
Montagna - O'Keefe
Ablett - Ward

Smith - R Stanley

Sylvia - Fyfe
Franklin - Chapman
Goodes - Knights
S Johnson - McGlynn
Darling - Petrie
Krak - Higgins

He has Gibbs in the middle and I have him in the backs

Who will win?

Sorry to say Enright is out, but on the + side for you, Swan is in doubt
 
Def Fisher & Lower/Buckley vs Jacobs & Duigan

Mid Judd, Montagna, Sylvia & Swallow vs Boyd, Martin, Murphy & Ward

Fwd Pavlich, Petrie & R'Okeefe vs Yarran Darling & S Johnson

Will be some changes to this on trades but looking like another pretty close one this week, he probably has the slight edge in the mids but defence is pretty even and I probably have the advantage in the forwards.

Could come down to captain choice

Have a bloke who's ranked 174,000th overall!!! :D

Team doesn't look overly bad, except his backline which has Gilbee, Heppell, Enright, Toy and R.Tarrant all not playing this week, i guess he will cover with trades.
Amazing how someone with this sort of ranking gets through.

Makes up for me having to take on a bloke ranked 7000th last week.
 
Reckon i've gotten a bit unlucky this week on the back of my 2333 last week.

Got a guy ranked 10k called Toomenny Beers who doesn't have Enright.

Almost looks like a BF team :eek:

http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=23190

Me
Carrazzo, Rawlings, Batchelor
Bartel, Selwood, Mitchell, Montagna
Chapman, ROO, Rok, Boomer, Knights

Him
Adcock, Broughton, Duigan
Boyd, Fyfe, Conca, Ward
Pav, Sylvia, Higgins, Didak, Yarran

I think i go in as favourites as he doesn't have any Cats although it wouldn't surprise me if one of Bartel or Chappy is a late withdrawal. He definitely has the firepower to beat me, that's for sure :thumbsdown:
 
Playing against a guy who outscored me by 130 last week

I think my number may be up

No Enright for him, he has all but 5 players playing

He's missing

Heppell
Toy
Sandi
Spencer
Tapscott

So he has plenty of cover. Really need Swan to play, or Krak the mid emg to fire up

He has Pendles, i don't, so i need him to have a quiet one and for my Captain Selwood to go nuts

I really think i'm done though :(
