2012 Eliminator Thread

[Jessbek]

Always beware the blank team, plenty just enter to fill in their team at start of Rd6 specially for eliminator.

also thought it was only top 262,144 teams that are participating.

* 256 781. Awkward

With a name like Snapdmebanjostring... I'm not that concerned

Thought I'd get a ridiculously easy match-up this week, turns out that's not the case.

This is the team I'm up against -

Not sure how that team scored so low last week, nor am I sure how it got it's ranking. It is a far better team than it's ranking suggests. Is this a team that entered after round 1?

I think that's me,

Could be an early exit for the wet dreams

Looking at the team, the only way to explain their current 1013 average is that person had a 'blank' team for the first few rounds for whatever reason. It's a 1950-2150 point per round team in it's current state.

Looks like they were entered a couple of weeks into the season. He had Smedts on 4, Cornes and Kennedy not playing and Smith scoring 39.

His defence was pretty rubbish last week as well. Hargrave and Birhcall out, another 5 players who scored less than 65 (Goddard, Clarke, Hunt, Ellis and Morris).

That is an unlucky draw Jeremias.

Wasn't it the first 262,144 teams entered get an Eliminator spot, not the top ranked ones?

 

[Jezza Jenkins]

I'm playing 'hi'. no players yet either

 

[Toffee Lion]

I'm playing a guy who has Isreal Folau, Needless to say the rest of his list isn't exactly going to beat me.

 

[Glenno23]

My opponent and I only have 1 player (Goddard) in common

Anyone else have a similar thing?

He has Cloke as his only player tonight. 4 points to HT

I have Pendles (74) Sidebottom (67) Hargrave (62) Clarke (39)

Good start

Two players in common in my match up!

I'm sure it used to be in past years, but this year it's based on ranking.

 

[IDIG]

My opponent looks like a multiple-team team. Has all the DT studs with all the usual popular rookie suspects but hasn't touched it for a while it looks like. Has got Gaj (c), JJK and Chad, no emergencies selected so should be an easy win.

 

[CaptScott]

3 in common, but my opponents predicted score was close to mine so I was a little worried... until I noticed he had Fyfe and GAJ starting, and no emergencies selected.

 

[Jezza Jenkins]

My opponent still doesn't have any players...maybe they're waiting for the byes

 

[BlakmagiK]

My opponent has 27 dockers players

I'm pretty sure I'm going to win as my predicted score is 700 above his...

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

I've already beaten my opponents prediction

 

[rdangelo]

I love the elimunator comp, its like the FA Cup of Dreamteam.

 

[Ess_don]

My opponent has Hargrave as Cpt.. not the worst option out there, but sure is interesting and unique!

Yep same, only 1 player in common for me... and that is Cloke

Im on 847 after tonight's game... his projected total is 1400 odd, should be ok lol unless the Roos rip it up against the Eagles - he has: Brent Harvey (C), Leigh Adams, Scott McMahon, Ben Warren, Aaron Edwards, Scott D Thompson, Jamie McMillan, Michael Firrito, Cameron Richardson, Cameron Pederson, and Nathan Grima... !!!

My opponent has Leunenberger, Gibson, Jurrah, Lisle(bris), Jurrah, Jonas(port) and Ablett(c) so should win.

Goddard is the only common player..LOL

 

[EBUS]

Thought this started next week, pleasant surprise to see it starting now.

 

[EBUS]

First year playing DT, and couldn't find the answer on the site, so forgive a possibly stupid question, but other than a warm feeling, what does the winner of the Eliminator win?

Winner gets $2000

 

[Plugger35]

Yeah I forgot this was starting this week as well.

Just checked my eliminator opponent and he is leading after last night after having Swan (c), Pendlebury and Boyd.

Not too worried though as he has a heap of rookies in his starting line up that I've never even heard of.

Jack Redpath
Stephen Wrigley
Richard Newell
Leigh Williams
Jack Lynch
Matthew Lodge
Piva Wright
Brad Mangan

He also has Adam Pattison as one of his rucks, I didn't even know he was still on an AFL list lol, and has Joel Selwood and Marc Murphy on his mids bench with Ablett starting.

Only 3 players in common - Swan, Franklin and Goodes
