2012 Eliminator Thread

[Hank93]

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 Joel Selwood and Marc Murphy on his mids bench with Ablett starting.

Nice percentage booster .

 

[Ball Hog]

My opponent has a team with about 15 Carlton players, bad week to play them. I should still win very comfortably though considering they have Judd captain and for some reason Scarlett as vice captain, plus 1 or 2 zeros.

**** some people are clueless

Only 3 players in common - Swan, Franklin and Goodes

Turns out he knew what he was doing.

Hoping Murphy isn't a late withdrawal as well as I have him too.

Winner gets $2000

Cheers.

My opponent has Lachie Neale as his captain (Must have taken the tag from Ablett who is sitting on his bench). Unluckily for him he has Joel Selwood as his Vice - must be kicking himself!

My 'spud' Eliminator opponent (the one with Zac Dawson in his team) has Stanton as his Captain FFS! Is 1069/8 + C ATM! Watson, Lake, Steve Motlop all scoring well for him and no upcoming doughnuts that I can see. Might be end up being very tight if my Carlton trio don't gun it.

 

[Brown Bottle]

My opponent got 80+ from Gillies (came in for Selwood) who he had no cover for, while I get a 0 from JSelwood's late withdrawal to rub salt into the wound. He also has Matt deBoer, Pav, Harley Bennell and Pearce.

He was averaging 1600, I'm averaging 2000. I'm every chance to get beaten

That's funny, same with my elim opponent who had Jackson Paine as capt and Joel S as vice...??

Currently 969/9 vs 495/8 so should be ok he he

 

[Brown Bottle]

Crazy stuff. My opponent has McEvoy and NicNat as his rucks. Has Zac Smith as an Emg, so gets 72, but lost both rucks as late outs. I might just scrape home with that donut.

 

[EBUS]

Won 1889 - 1638, luckily it's only the first round otherwise i'd be goneski.

 

[PowerForGood]

Easy win - 2165 to 1358
Only 131,071 more to get past

 

[Atavistic]

2166 to 1942. Funny how a team ranked at about 200k can pop out such a decent score. He had Lewis Jetta, T Adams, T Walker and traded Carrazzo to Scotland during the week. I hope I get an actual dud team this week.

 

[CrozaN]

Won mine by 200 odd, but i scored badly this week, hoping next week i get a weaker opponent and my team actually does decently...

 

[EBUS]

Weekly ranking of 116,298, I'm so ****ed next week.

 

[bombermick]

My opponent only scored 1530
Safe to say I won

Better than last year when I had my worst week of the season and went out straight away

 

[yogibbear]

Didn't even know this started this week... thought it was next week. Won by some 800 points.

 

[Squall]

Won mine 2237 to 1000

 

[Glenno23]

Big win and ranked 1,141st for the week

Hoping anpother easy game is in order next weekter such a high ranking this week

Sweating on the availabity of Newmand and Goodes

If they play, i can make my 2 changes.

Out: Magner (Shiel and Greene have negative break evens) Ellis

In: Horsley and Enright

Then only have 2 proper rookies playing and can start looking at upgrading my 2 GWS boys in a few weeks when they moo fully for a full team

Then 2 luxury upgrades to finsih it off and ride my luck from there

 

[Mattrox]

I won...... Next week I might need some luck. In my 1st year taking Dream Team more seriously than before, I learned a lot about setting the team up correctly to begin with. I burned 3 trades to fix-up..... now it is going to tell, if running out of trades too soon will hurt, or if I can set the team up with the remaining trades to get me through the eliminator to the latter stages?

 

[Jessbek]

Quick question. Is your eliminator ranking based on your weekly ranking in actual DT or your percentage score over your opponent?

My weekly ranking overall was 2,276 and in eliminator it was 65,840 - so I'm guessing it's based on percentage.

 

[Jezza Jenkins]

well i won 2125 to 0 and i'm ranked 13000 odd so not sure??

 

[bombermick]

Based on weekly ranking

 

[SM]

Big win with my opponent having 7 or 8 zeroes, so hopefully that helps me for the next round. Normally I get about 4 or 5 rounds in - I think one year I was knocked out in the first week as the exception - so hopefully I can go a bit deeper this time. My bench mark is when BF players start getting each other lol.
