seem to be storing alot of money. worried about potential upgrades

 

[yellowandblack21]

Drew "The Untouchables" this week. Very similar overall ranking, should be close.
Would be nice if Swannie misses again this week, and Mitchell continues to stink it up.

 

[lion4life]

Drew a team called win me money. Will have the pleasure of knocking them out this week

They had a good week last week whereas I had a shocker putting me just in the bottom half of the eliminator draw. There ranked about 11k overall.

They also dont seem to have much cash freed up i think

We seem to have a lot of similar players with a couple of differences.

Having a look at the teams it seems to be

Waters v Birchall
Lake v Clarke
Morris v Malceski
Stanton v Boyd
Hayes v Ablett
Dangerfield v Selwood
Zorko v Mitchell
Cox v Stephenson
Maric v Giles
Treloar v Porplyzia



Looks to be very close. I have the edge in the backline, he has the edge in the midfield, I will crush him in the rucks and forward line is quite similar with Treloar v Porplyzia being the only uniques

Very close matchup. Result will rely on how captains go this week

 

[Tippaz]

up against martys mob (ranked 41k)
http://afl.virtualsports.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=185505

he's got a good midfield but fwds & backs are weak

i really should win

 

[Spider Klein]

Yep V8 dogs for me this week.

Me v Him pre trading

Zorko v Clancee
Giles v Cox
Rockliff v Stanton
Jelwood v Pendles
Mitchell v McDonald
Shaw v Malceski
Lake v Ellis/Morris
Waters v Heppell


Heppell out means he would have to play morris and Ellis but I would say he would make a trade somewhere.

Gonna be close. Even if I win I look to be in trouble with my round 11 players next week

 

[Ess_don]

I've got "Fox Comedians".. quite even matchup, but I may have a slight edge if Heppell misses for another week, thats 1 of his premos down with his back rooks pretty average in Ellis, Bugg and Smedts.

Reckon Hep will be rested for another week since we got Dees..
But cant be too confident, anything could happen!

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Suckling vs Birchall
Hargrave vs Lake
Waters vs Broughton
Scotland vs Bugg

Pendles vs Swan/Horsely
Boyd vs Ablett
Coniglio vs Masten
Horsely vs Magner

Jacobs vs Kreuzer

Chapman vs SteveJ
Robinson vs Smith/Treloar/Porps
Zorko vs Smith/Treloar/Porps

I think I have the advantage, but you never know when Jacobs, Coniglio, Horse, Zork, Robinson, Hargrave, Chapman and Suckling can really spud it up on a given day.

 

[Rudeurrection]

Playing Witjuti Grub this week, bloody good team, ranked 723rd overall.

But, he hasnt prepared for my secret weapon. Captain Shane Tuck.

PS: yes im serious

PPS: yes i know im ****ed.

 

[750mlPump]

I've probably got the easiest game, drew a guy ranked 85k who has a backline of Delideo, Broughton, Dempsey, Clarke, Morris, Spurr, Brennan, Ellis and Curran. Forward line is rubbish too.

Yep, I am going to have to spend some cash in the backs this week

 

[lmach]

Drew The Toecutter who has a overall ranking of 25,775 and eliminator ranking of 9,784.

The unique match ups (before trades) are:

(me on left)

Birchall v Suckling
Hargrave v Lake
Shaw v Morris

Thompson v Mitchell
Horsley v Dal Santo

Sandilands v Cox

Chapman v S.Johnson
Sidebottom v Pavlich
Beams v Porplyzia

Yes, he DOESN'T have Horsley!

 

[liam_13]

Not quite sure whether or not to be confused, angry or excited about this week.

The team name is Badd Blues.
They are ranked at 167 200 overall and averaging a tad over 1600. But their team is imo better than that unless they upgraded heavily last fortnight. So they could've been a late starter, trying to gain an edge, but I don't think they did that well if that was their plan.

At the moment, with me trading in Zorko & Hayes, it's:

Birchall vs Scotland
Waters vs Malceski
Shaw vs Lake
Hayes vs Mitchell
Horsely vs Redden
Cox vs Sandilands
Dangerfield vs Chapman
Martin vs S.Johnson
Sidebottom vs Beams
Bennell vs Saad
Treloar vs Kennedy
Zaharakis vs Didak

He will probably upgrade in his forwards, having Cameron/Kennedy/Hampton/Didak/Saad all there, he will surely get rid of say Cameron to a rookie and Kennedy up to a premium, hoping Didak is a keeper, then playing Saad as F7

He got 2160 last round, I think I should win but his team is just...weird. Not sure if it could smash it this round or what.

 

[Butler]

Up against Cooley's Croc's this week.

Me v Him

Eliminator ranking
805 v 15,921

Uniques
Goddard v Johnson
Birchall v Heppell (Wilkes/Delaney)
Hargrave v Bugg
Clarke v Morris

Watson v Stanton
Pendlebury v Ziebell
Mitchell v Higgins
Horsley v Coniglio

Kreuzer v Sandilands

Beams v Dangerfield
Robinson v NRoo
Chapman v Smith
Cornes v Adams

This week was important as i have no zero's first week of the byes, will be incredibly surprised if i lose this one.

 

[PowerForGood]

Hello to Coley's 22.

I'm averaging about 50 pts per game more, but I look at the team and wonder why its so close

Waters v Maguire
Lake v Rance
Birchall v Roberts-Thompson
Dempsey v Glass

Pendlebury v Stanton
Ebert v Boyd
Beams v Watson
Martin v Mitchell
Horsley v Magner

Robinson v Dangerfield
Chapman v Rioli
Johnson v Hill
Porplyzia v Callinan
Treloar v Cameron

Anyone have any ideas?

 

[Hawkage]

^^^ You should win by about 100-200 points

My matchup (assuming they don't trade):

Me v Them

Deledio v Scotland
Goddard v Suckling
Broughton v Heppell (if named)
Lake v M Clarke
Morris v Bugg

Cotchin v S Selwood
Treloar v Shiel

Beams v Robinson
Stevie J v Porpus

I shouldn't have much trouble progressing through.

 

[PowerForGood]

^^^^^

Looks pretty close to me, a few of your players run really hot/cold.

 

[raymagoo]

I have drawn the - Squashed Rabbits
eliminator round ranking of 612
overall ranking 2363

Just slightly ahead of me overall.

both starting the same amount of rookies on field. I still have swan & waite (time to trade) on the pine.
Will be close but I may just get him!

 

[Ess_don]

Yep, I am going to have to spend some cash in the backs this week

No, no mate save your trades.. dont worry about meaningless Eliminator. How about a deal, you dont trade and I wont trade?

Great to see I got matched up to someone BF! May the best team win.

Btw who are you thinking of for the big C.. just curious, coz Im going with big Treloar after his awesome 119 last week, will surely carve up again.

Brandon Ellis for C for me. No one at the Saints will be able to stop him, and a rising star nomination for his 193 DT points.

I was not planning to trade this week (I think you can tell from my bench). All depends on the teams.

 

[iluvparis]

Playing the 30th ranked team from last week with an overall rank of around 1.2k (v mine 9k)

I also have Shaw and he doesn't - think I'll be gonski

 

[lion4life]

Gahhh

Shaw out completely blows for me. I know my opponent has him but he has bench cover whereas I already have Heppell on the pine and Spurr isnt playing this week whereas he has Bugg/Morris.

So frustrating. Whatever advantage i had on the defensive line is worthless now.

 

[yogibbear]

FU if I didn't lose last week to some ****** with Jack Riewoldt, Barlow, Courtney Dempsey et. al. I would be cruising this week as I don't own any of the major outs

 

[Bluey_McKenna]

Up against 'Juzz's Lovely Boys'. Projected me 2179 vs 2141. I need Sidey to have a big one as captain.

 

[Glenno23]

Yep, my Eliminator opponent had J.Riewoldt

 

[old scholar]

Playing a team ranked 1200.

Uniques (Me v Them)

Morris vs Goddard
Cotchin vs Bugg
J Selwood vs Swallow
McDonald vs Dangerfield
Smith vs Jacobs
Hale vs Broughton
Sandilands vs Scotland
Waters vs Zaharakis
Hargrave vs Stanton (C)
Pendles vs Watson
Ablett (C) vs Horsley

I think I'm cooked. Hoping Stanton spuds it up and Ablett isn't tagged by the Pies.
