2011 Eliminator Thread

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

I'm Mighty Ducks, can't believe I am still in it I've had some shocking weeks.

Ranked 642nd. I dunno what it is, I think i've had a poor year yet i'm doing OK. Not sure what the deal is.

that just means out of the 4096 left last weekend, out of the 2048 winners, you finished 642nd best score of the round out of the elimination winners.

So this week you are ranked 642 out of 2048 still left in the eliminator competition.

You will need a good score, probably 2100+ to finish in the top 512 of the remaining 1024 after this coming weekend

but in saying that, anyone in the remaining 1024 after this weekend would all most likely get a decent score of 2000+ anyway

Got MADDOG ranked 16,647 overall. They were ranked 988 in eliminator this week compared to my 1098.

Decent side but not brilliant, I'm quietly confident I have the slight edge. Adcock, Dal Santo, Sandilands, Goddard, Riewoldt, Franklin will be warming the bench for them this weekend (Although Sandilands may play) unless they trade. I have the last 4 but not Adcock + Dal Santo. They don't have Swan so it will be interesting to see if they buy him this week.

Me: http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=4558&lid=1

Dilemma for them is that if Sandilands plays Petrie is still stuck as 3rd ruck so will need to trade to link him into the forwards and they don't really have anyone to trade there except perhaps Yarran.
 
Martin, Duigan, Broughton, Strauss, A Johnson

you should get through this week.
 
Didn't get a great match up considering our overall ranks are so different. I've copped a bit of carnage this week so could be bowing out.

lalbert - http://dreamteam.afl.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=8512

Me (899th) - Him (12k)
Carrazzo - Scotland
Enright - Jacobs
Hibberd - Heppell
Lower - LThompson
Pendles - Swan
Mitchell - A.Swallow
ROK - Embley
Bartel (Mzungu) - Ablett
Smith - Sandi
Pav - Fyfe
Goodes - Petrie
Boomer - Higgins
Sylvia - McKernan

I think it will be damn close :mad:
 
Prior to trades:

Me vs. Them

Stanley
v Scotland
Enright v Broughton
Hibberd v Suckling

Ablett x2 v Murphy x2
Boyd v Mitchell
Pendles v Foley
Bartel v. Krak
I. Smith/Iles v Iles

Cox v Petrie
Sandi v Z. Smith
(might have to trade here as also have mumford... don't ask!)

Sylvia vs Rioli
Steve Johnson vs. Yarran
Didak v. Higgins
Mzungu v. Krak

have faith, on that list, you should win heading into the 2nd half of the final game of the round
 
Very fortunate to still be in it, and from lowly eliminator rank 1936 gifted a winnable matchup against 1004 (Patent Pending)

vs

Shaw, Broughton, Duigan, Otten
Thomson, Pendlebury, Heppell
Fyfe, Sylvia, J Riewoldt, Rioli, Higgins, Lynch

unless he makes a trade down back, he will be 1 short, depending on team selections tonight. That is the only way you may win, if he makes a trade, he would have to be slight favourites

which Krakouer does your opponent have in the Midfield & Forwards ? he cant have the same player in both spots :D

Sandilands will play but Bartel looks likely to be out for a week
 
Appears opponent went N.Riewoldt -> J.Tippett so they could play Petrie in their forwards and then Duigan -> Scotland compared to my Knights -> Dalhuas & Toy -> Suckling.

I know I'm going really early but after a 1/4 of tonights game with a fair few unique players playing they are doing pretty well so if that continues may be a little closer than I thought. Slightly confident I have a very slight edge but probably on averages going to come down to the last game of the week with my Harvey.

Me v Them

Duffield vs Enright
Heppell vs Lower
Puopolo vs Hibberd

Swan v Fyfe
Thompson v Goodes
Rischitelli v Hodge
Shiels v Rioli

Chapman v Johnson
Harvey v Pavlich
Lecras v Yarran
Dalhaus v Howe
 
^^^ Rioli getting injured and the fact that they have I.Smith as forward emergency has certainly helped me a fair bit at this early stage - hoping that no forwards are late outs for them.

Situation is now:

Duffield + Thompson + Rischitelli + Swan + Chapman + Harvey + Lecras + Dalhaus + 56
vs
Enright + Lower + Fyfe + Goodes + Johnson + Pavlich + Yarran + Howe

Confident that I should win from there without any injuries.

EDIT: Just realised that I put Petrie in for them instead of Yarran, we both have Petrie

ok now im getting scared.

me 1393/13 +C
them 1323/15 +C

remaining
me - chaplin johncock symes thompson priddis boak cox kennedy lecras
them - gibbs rawlings murphy cox johnson petrie chapman

my junk team of players from non victorian clubs just keep on getting wins, and another seems likely.

how long can this go on ? defies belief.:confused:
 
Had a shit night for my eliminator.

They had Smith come in for Mzungu which I kind of expected but I didn't anticipate Pav scoring 132 under an injury cloud and also Goodes scoring about 65 in a quarter and a half after a terrible start. Lower had a good last quarter for them too. If they didn't have Sandilands too I think I'd be in some real strife.

Currently 1371/13 + C vs 1500/15 + C

Thompson v Johnson
Chapman v Enright
Harvey v Yarran
Lecras + Richardson vs 129

Now I'm paranoid that either Gibbs or Scotland (Who we both have) will be a late withdrawal and I'll have to cop Howard's 6 while they get Stanley's 79. Or, the more likely outcomes of Richardson being a sub, Harvey, Chapman & Thompson being tagged, Lecras having a down week while Yarran has his best game of the year, Johnson running riot etc.

Although I should be in a position to win from where I am I truely believe I will lose this week because I think my players will be tagged and theres wont. I think that Chapman is the pivotal player here, he could thrive with less support or he could be completely shutdown by a tag while Johnson is left free and scores 120+.
 
Me + 56 points vs. Quahog Patriots

To come:

Scotland, Enright, Goldstein vs. Murphy, Steve Johnson

Should win by 100 points or so if everything goes to plan.
