wow 1 pt loss and 2 pt win in back to back posts

Got through with a lazy 200 pt win, on to next week

Curnow's extra 4 ruined that, won by a COMFORTABLE 6.

Still 3 results posted in a row were a combined margin of 9 (Wins by 6 & 2, loss by 1)

Good luck next round to everyone remaining, hopefully some Bigfooty matchups will occur soon

EDIT: Timskull that must be infuriating to lose by 1.

 

[D0nk]

Great, put up a respectable 2136 and lost by just under 100 points. Was looking OK coming into today and then Mundy and Pav decided to stink it up, while Mitchell gunned it in the last quarter for my opponent.

 

[BlakmagiK]

Scored 2179 and just scraped through by 30 pts... Sylvia and Thompson dragging my score down badly

 

[huggy_b]

lost by 17 - it seems as though my decision to play Jacobs ahead of Duigan has cost me! ouch.

 

[Brown Bottle]

Won by 100+ with 1950. My shit week in general vs his pretty poor week + Sylvia + Montagna.

should be ranked a solid 8000th for next week's draw

 

[mike262]

Scored 1964 and won by about 100

I had Sylvia and adcock and opponent didnt.

will be in the bottom 1/2 again this week.

 

[Sergian]

Won by a lazy 300.

 

[Jars458]

lost by 6 points with 1965. Monty Sylvia Franklin and Chappy injured did not help. Won four of five leagues and 2 of 3 Supercoach. Only one I lost was teh only cash league. Life sucks sometimes. I would be no chance next week anyway.

Yeh 1 pt loss is awful. Hopefully no one digs out my post on Friday claiming 'im into the last 8k' with an easy opponent :S

Heres the matchups for the game too, dont know how i managed a loss here
Gilbert - Broughton
Hibberd - Puopolo
Selwood C - Swan C (almost went pendles)
Swan - Selwood (if that still counts)
Pendles - Burgoyne
MMurphy - D Swallow
Stanton - Higgins
Ryder - Smith (annoyed coz last minute switch to Ryder thinking he might finally have a good game)
Sylvia - Pavlich
Riewoldt - Darling
Knights - Cyril
Mzungu - T Lynch

 

[cuzz is back]

murphys kick at goal been touched cost me

 

[Bluey_McKenna]

Hope the Adcock curse can be lifted soon.

 

[Parasite]

Ouch, not sure how you lost. Just some unlucky decisions going against you I guess.

Draw for next week is up now!

Got paired with a guy ranked 33,000 who happened to have a good week last week, happy days!
And luckily he has Swan instead of Pendles like me so we're both in the same boat on that one.

 

[buzz123]

Match-ups have been released for this week. Im currently ranked 416th, yet am slightly nervous about an opponent ranked 45,000! Too many uniques in his side for my liking! Likes of Dal Santo and S Burgoyne who could pull out large scores...
Luckily though, looks like he'll cop a doughnut in the rucks

 

[Boro]

Playing a team called Rogue Trader. 100 places above me atm and averaging 1 point a week more so a pretty even match up that could go either way.

 

[The Made Guy]

If either Sylvia or Montagna can get up to play, I'm confident of scraping through against an opponent who scored 50 pts less than me last week without either of those two players.

 

[Oscarman]

Up against Team Bravo who outscored me by 8 on the weekend. Looks to be an interesting matchup.

 

[Team Mo']

Up against WOFTAM. Scored 2033 last week and is ranked 25,000.

Just did a quick player difference check and we have pretty similar players. Except for Petrie over Smith all of my "player match ups" come out favourably...

 

[Ball Hog]

Got 'Inspect Her Gadget' ranked 423 overall compared to my rank of about 5400. Fair few differences in our teams this week but despite the discrepancy in ranks I think i have a decent chance against them -although they would go in favourites.

Me v Them

Scotland v Adcock
Heppell v Rawlings
Duffield v Lower (Assuming)
Puopolo v Hibberd/Stanley/Puopolo

Thompson v Murphy
Selwood v Mitchell
Curnow v Harris

Harvey v S.Johnson
Petrie v Goodes
Lecras v Pavlich

Interesting part of matchup is cover for Swan, they can cover with Mzungu, a forward and play Darling or a back.

So they can effectively cover Swan with Darling, Mzungu, 1 of Hibberd/Stanley/Puopolo that is not used in their backs. I can cover Swan with Iles or Stanley.

Anyway, trades will certainly play a part, I have 200k to use so will almost certainly be trading

 

[IDIG]

Up against a team called In Your Face, ranked 15k who doesn't have Chappy, Swan or Monty, GTFO.

 

[Hank93]

Not sure who the last ranked team in Eliminator is but I think I would be pretty close. Ranked 37,144 and made it through to the current round of 8,192.

Team playing is called Bullets and ranked 4,843 so I am the clear underdog. I did outscore them last week so might get a bit of luck.

 

[yibbida]

Ranked 568 playing Mr Fantasy who is ranked 6407. Looking at their team, should have them covered this week!

Just outside 38000 for me!
