Eliminator Thread 2010

[LemmingMaster]

Basically I can switch my cover.

Currently sitting on the bench, subject to change is

Mids: Leon + Gysberts
Forwards: Gian/Sylvia + Hitchcock

If Gibbs is out for sure, then I may just switch Sylvia to the mids and play Gian on the field in the forwards.

 

[Cat for Life]

So then it becomes:
This is how I have it:

Gilbert v Goodwin (Gilbert + 5-10)
Duffield v Waters (Duffield + 10)
Gian v Montagna (Montagna +25)
Pavlich v Hayes (Hayes +15)
Sylvia v Goodes (even)

However, if Duffield or Gilbert engage in those chip kicks at the end of the game, or Hayes?Montagna get a hard tag, then it becomes very interesting.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Basically what you're saying is, I am in trouble...

 

[Cat for Life]

I've been in trouble the last 4 weeks, when you're talking about such a small number of different players anything could happen.

in the last 32 baby

 

[LemmingMaster]

Congrats to everyone still in the comp....

Needless to say that Sam Gilbert can eat a big fat one!!!

Gian on the bench can eat a big fat one!!!!

I lost by around 30 points.

Bad luck mate, if its any consolation I'm soldiering on into the final 32. Beat my opponent by 196 points, I scored 2194 to his 1998 it feels good to know the DT gods appear to have a soft spot for me and don't completely hate me like I have thought for so long.

Good luck to everyone else still in the competition, things are really starting to heat up that is for sure.

 

[Cat for Life]

I made it through as well. Not sure how, but I seem to just get lucky every week. For the past month, I think the team that I'm up against has looked better on paper but just not performed. I've been carrying Grimes on the bench for 3 weeks now and putting up with JWebb's score, maybe time I take this seriously and trade for eliminator.

 

[LemmingMaster]

Cat, you cannot allow BB to win your league, think of the pride you will have knocking him out of the league!

 

[Cat for Life]

I know the pride well, I do it every year. I think his team is still scarred from the 300 points drubbing he got in last year's grand final.

 

[Cat for Life]

Round of 32 match ups are now listed. I'm playing "MIJOOOS GIRLFIREND" who is ranked 34. Not suprisingly, given his ranking, I'm totally outclasses so unfortunately the run will end this week. Fun times.

 

[LemmingMaster]

To be honest, last week I should have won and my guy is ranked 5th overall. Stranger things have happened, all it takes is someone like Sam Gilbert scoring 39 points to ruin your weekend.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

Sorry Obies Camels, the Unbeatables through to the round of 16

 

[Cat for Life]

Somehow I got through again. Much of the credit must go to my new recruit Dasher Milburn, traded in for Grimes who can go on Lou's handball but somehow is permanently 2-3 weeks out.

 

[SpeedMeades]

Managed to scrape through again this week even with copping Gumby's 41 with Bartel out.

Final 16 here we come!

 

[Cat for Life]

Round of 16s matchups are now listed.
I'm playing "lizzies legends", who while ranked 16 according to last week's scores have an incredible team which is significantly better than mine.

The midfield alone is incredible, with Swan, Montagna, Boyd, Bartel, Selwood and Chapman rotating in. The forward line is also very strong with Reidwoldt recently brought in.

I seem to say this most weeks, but I think my run is about to end this week, been quite fun but given the price I'm not willing to trade just for eliminator.

You made me do a double take there...my Auntie is in our league with her team 'Linda's Legends' who has averaged a cool 1700 for the year. Wondered how it could be possible for her to be in the eiliminator still

 

[Cat for Life]

Somehow made it through again, got lucky this week as my opponents had skipper instead of warnock so copped a 0 for Sandi's withdrawal.

Anyone still in this? I know Stubz posted a cool 2340, and is the clear favourite for this thing.

Cat for Life I'm going to have to pay you back the 2 points because I got 2,338.

I've done a bit of maths and its impossible for me to play you this round because we are in the top 50% of eliminator rankings this week and will play someone in the bottom 50% of eliminator rankings. So yeah it looks like the Hawthorn vs Geelong match-up is shaping up for the GF which would be quite fitting.

What's your team name mate?

Good luck to yourself and Stubz.

Ta mate, it's "Back to Back". Not liking my chances in it at all, the $1k price isn't amazing and don't think it'll be enough to make me trade this week given I have the week off in my league.

Is the Cash on offer for your league? Or bragging rights?

Surely winning Eliminator carries more bragging rights than a league win.

 

[360noscope]

Yeah, would be really nice if there were cash prizes. Good luck guys!

 

[TheCerealKillee]

how many BF members still remain?

LOL, after trawling through the previous page you have been saying that for weeks!
