2011 Eliminator Thread

[JBrooker03]

Come up against a team ranked 284 in eliminator last week...

Ohwell, it was fun while it lasted!

 

[nsj91]

very hard to pick a winner at this stage when you aren't able to see the opp's trades. counting down until 7.40 tomorrow night when we have access to the final squads!

 

[yogibbear]

Mmm.... my opponent is ranked 20k... did waaaaaaay better than me last week (i ended up in bottom half of draw). My team should win... depending on what they do with their trades... only bad thing is I have Enright and they don't.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Playing this team:

Should get through.

 

[HolyRioli]

Aaaaargh!!! Have run into a bloke who scored 2422 and ranked 219 last week

http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=234309

That said, we have fairly even teams on paper. Will be far closer than I'd prefer at this stage. Serves me right for stinking last week

 

[huggy_b]

http://afl.virtualsports.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=36953

fairly evenly matched, but I should sneak through fingers crossed.

 

[Robbo88]

Managed to get probably the highest ranked player in the bottom 16k...

http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=7554

Overall ranking of 2425, Eliminator ranking of 16900 last week, should be a very close battle, i have enright and sandi, he doesnt, so im behind the 8 ball already. Really need Adcock, Fyfe, Lower, Libba to have poor weeks if im gonna win.

 

[Spider Klein]

After a stinker in a hot round. I'm feeling lucky that I only drew someone ranked 13k and saw he didn't have Smith for ruck cover.

Then looked closer, omg! he doesn't have Sandilands anyway, so that sucks a bit.

Will be close matchup.

ouch..but then again he's probably saying the same thing about u

 

[IDIG]

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

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

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

Got a bit more info now, DT assistant has him winning 2150-2145

Me Him
Rawlings - Adcock
Batchelor - Broughton
Selwood (C) - Boyd (C)
Montagna - Fyfe
Bartel - Redden
Mitchell - Harris
Chapman - Pav
ROK - Higgins
Knights - Didak
Roo - 115 pt
Boomer

What you do you's reckon? He's traded in Redden for Ward by the looks of it which i dont mind too much as Brissy play Adelaide in Adelaide so hopefully it's a nice low possession game. Gonna be pretty close

 

[Team Mo']

I'm versing a guy with a pretty decent side but he has Sandilands and Heppel starting on his field. Vickory sitting on bench but not as emergency however Lower to come in for Dyson.

 

[Ball Hog]

Looks like I'll win. My opponent clearly does not change his/her team. They still have Tapscott, Grimes, Richardson, Gamble, J.Van Berlo, Otten, Hale, Sandilands etc. I thought it would be close if they traded but they havent and have Ryder on the field ahead of Smith, a forward zero due to Tapscott/Richardson/Smith/Gamble and Heppell/Grimes/Otten/Gillies causing a backline zero. So I have no zeros and 3 playing emergencies versing 3 so it is assured unless something absolutely ridiculous happens.

Been pretty fortunate with opponents so far but very happy to be progressing again.

 

[IDIG]

I hate you Broughton, why couldn't you do this earlier in the year

Comes down to -

Me - Him
Selwood (C) - Boyd (C)
Bartel - Redden
Mitchell - Adcock
Batchelor - Harris
Chapman - Higgins
Knights - Didak + 13 pts

Need the Geelong boys to go HUGE tonight.

 

[roodav]

Averages have me winning by 45 but not confident

Me: Puopolo, Harris & D Swallow + 628

vs

Stanley, Jacobs, Boyd, Martin, Liberatore, Selwood, S Johnson, Darling, Higgins.

I am Gawn...Harris subbed with a 25, Swallow middling, Johnson & Stanley on fire

 

[TheGhostOfJohnBelushi]

Looked like a probably comfortable round this week, particularly as my opponent played Enright with Heppell as his emergency (despite having Buckley in the mids doing nothing for some strange reason). Until Goddard got injured. And my opponent's crabs in O'Shea and Grundy have racked it up. WTF?

At LEAST I didn't play Harris, Prestia or Matera. What shocking scores.

 

[IDIG]

Think i'm done gahhh

My Mitchell, Knights, 403pts v His Boyd (c), Adcock, Redden, Didak, Higgins.

My only hope is Boyd stays relatively quiet, Didak or Higgins is a sub and Mitchell dominates lol.

 

[Benno_900]

I'm through barring a disaster. Scores dead level ...

Me vs Opponent
Adcock vs Birchall
Knights vs Dangerfield
Swan vs Brodie Smith
Boyd vs Darling
Cox player extra

 

[cuzz is back]

me 1318 vs him 888

both have 9 left but he has capt swan
sitting in pole thus far

 

[Glenno23]

I'm 190 up, but he has an extra player.

SJ smashed it for me tonight. Love it

Me: Puopolo, Adcock, Swan, Priddis, Didak + 190 points

Vs

Suckling, Pendles, Cox, Higgins, Franklin and Knights

We both have S.Thompson and Darling

I had Stanley on field all week too and changed it Thursday night. Put Jacobs on ( he was in my opponents team, who is slightly stronger) so i thought id nullify one rookie in case i picked wrong

Would have been nice to have the extra 30 points, but i has no guts

 

[Ed_Gein]

Think i am gone.

Puopolo, Cox, Franklin + 268 vs H.Shaw, Adcock, Suckling, Pendlebury, Minson, Dawes, Rioli.

Would have to hope Cox and Franklin have big ones whilst some of his players have quiet games.

 

[elhadjihenry]

Me: Boyd, Adcock, Knights + 82
Him: Shaw, Buckley, Darling

pretty safe i think, although if swan doesnt play he gets krak as emg while i get harris' 25, possible spanner in the works

 

[Pure_Ownage]

148 + Boyd + Buddy + Shaw + Swan (Harris 25 if Swan doesn't play)
vs
Pendles + Griffen + Suckling + Hanley

If my emg score wasn't so low I'd be really confident but reckon I will still get through.

 

[ReluctantLion]

Opponent is ahead by 1 point. Reckon he is in the box seat. Hoping the Eagles can keep Swan and Pendlebury quiet. Any hope??

Me- Shaw, Puopolo, Hodge, Darling,Knights.
Him- Swan, Pendlebury, Ward, Kerr, Krakouer.

 

[Jeremias]

This week is a much closer battle for me than the previous few.

Me: 612 points

Opponent: Swan, Pendlebury, Redden, Knights, Simon Buckley, Brodie Smith.

If Swan is a late withdrawal, their captaincy goes to Montagna (90) and their emergency comes in (Mundy 101).

On averages I get through by approximately 50 points. Not so confident but hopefully I progress to the next round.
