2011 Eliminator Thread

[Jhye Clark 13]

If your opponent doesn't trade, he will be 3 players down, 1 defender, ruck 7 forward.

So needless to say, bare minimum, 1 player down at best

I've only got Murphy and Gibbs out.

I'll swap Swan for Murphy and swap Gibbs with Heppell and put Stanley on the ground in the backline.

Second week of Eliminator and I think I'm screwed already. Matched up against the guy ranked 25 overall. What the hell

Ouch, that's why I dislike weekly ranking matchups.

I got lucky. Should be able to win this easily! i average 300 points a game more than him this season. Saves me a good vent at Montagna!

 

[Gee Dub]

Me (ranked 3842) v Bob's Dogs (ranked around 1700)

He's copping 2 donuts in his backline unless he trades Gibbs and Duigan. His midfield is awesome though with Goodes his 8th best mid and Libba his 9th mid. Should be a good matchup.

This guys rankings don't flatter him but his team's better thank his overall ranking thanks to him having all of Grimes, Curnow, Stanton & Higgins last round - http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=87383

 

[Glenno23]

I have a tough match that could very well see me beaten

Me ranked 25kish overall

She is 17kish overall

A few things are possible to save me

A. I'm bringing in Selwood and ROK who she hasn't got, so i need them to gun it up

B. her backs: Gibbs and Duigan have the bye, Grimes (gone) Otten (gone) Mckernan and Lower are not scoring that well

She will need to trade to cover the 4 missing players

Plus she has Joey missing from the mids. She is still strong there though with Swan, Boyd, Ablett, Harris, Swallow (d)

i think i may get rolled

Super Sea Eagles

SSE will be copping a 0 in the backline, up to 3 if they don't trade. And also missing Murphy and Montagna in the guts.
I'd have to have a barry crocker to drop this one.

After playing a team with no players last week it looks like another easy kill for me this week.

He's copping 2 donuts in his backline unless he trades Gibbs and Duigan. His midfield is awesome though with Goodes his 8th best mid and Libba his 9th mid. Should be a good matchup.

I assume they have Swan and Pendles or something in midfield which meant DP for Goodes from forwards to cover. Surely Goodes isn't wasted on bench every week.

whilst your line up doesn't set the world on fire, you should win the matchup without a worry I would thing, however, depending on what you score this weekend, your round 3 matchup might be tough

Yea im having a shocking year in both DT & SC this year... Miles off where i was a couple years back... As you said i should be right this week and hopefully i can pull a decent score out of the bag and get another easy opponent next week

 

[SM]

Seeing his ranking of 9000 compared to my 79000 I was a bit worried, but had a bit of a look at His lineup, and, compared to mine, I think I should be ok? He has a few Carlton players and seems to have hit that weekly ranking on the back of some great performing Tigers and Blues, Blues not playing this week, and I reckon Tigers will struggle to do as well against the Dogs. Other people's thoughts?

 

[BACCS]

Well, at least the guy I'm playing has a team this week. I won 1959-0 last week.

 

[roodav]

Here's who im playing

http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=255946

Gibbs, Deledio, Heppell, Enright, Goddard, Grimes, Lower (L Thompson, Tarant, Buckley)
Watson, Swann, Bartel, Mitchell, Curnow, Redden (Harris, Conca, Liberatore)
Cox, Sandiland (Smith,Mcauley)
Fyfe, Zaharakis, O'Keefe, Darling,Tapscott, Dangerfield, Higgins(Krakouer, Polkinghorne, Mckernan)

Fair enough he has some injury issues (as do I), but it seems a pretty good team to be ranked 125,841 overall (his eliminator ranking is 83410, mine is 4482).

Got Jobe Watson this week
http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=272691
A better team than their last score indicated.

Who would take it out?

 

[Ball Hog]

Got a decent oponent this week but they're not great. It seems like they have money in the bank tho and wouldn't be too surprised to see them make 2 upgrades this week in which case I could be in some trouble.

I still think their lack of genuine guns will hurt them but they are much better than their average of 1660 I think.

Bonded by Blood

Goddard
Adcock
Suckling
Harbrow
Krakouer
Heppell
Tape

(Duigan
Gibbs
Hibberd)


Redden
Thomas
A.Swallow
D.Swallow
Crameri
Krakouer

(Curnow
Harris
Bennell)

Graham
Mumford

(Ryder
Derickx)

Franklin
Dawes
Garlett
Jetta
Hardingham
Matera
Pitt

(Higgins
Prestia
Richardson)

So definitely should win but who knows. If they were to bring in 2 genuine midfield guns this week I could be in trouble but I am definitely aided by the injury to Higgins. Unpredictable team but enough there to worry me a little.

 

[IDIG]

I've got a real danger game up against a team ranked 15k

Comes down to

Me
Rawlings, Enright, Lids, Batchelor, Stanley, Sandi, Boomer, ROK, Roo, JRoo

v

Him
Adcock, Suckling, BSmith, Grimes*, Swallow, Libba, Ryder, Pav, SJ, Matera/Krak

He's been pretty unlucky with Grimes, Otten, Curnow, Higgins and Stanton all injured so i'm assuming he'll be trading an Enright/mid prem type. Even with 2 trades I think he'll be copping at least a donut or two.

This will be a close game if he makes a couple of key trades. Better get your captain option right

 

[skeme]

Not sure why this team ranked so low last week, could be interesting if he trades some of his defenders, but he will cop at least one 0 in defense. He has 1 more premium player than me in the mids, but my forward has 2 more premiums than his.

http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=75063

No doubt he would have beaten me if carlton didn't have the bye!

That makes me feel somewhat better haha. I still have an upgrade to make to the team, but I'm sure he does too.
