The Official 2009 Eliminator Thread

[thesmallprint]

should get over the line as my opponent has 12 carlton players including 3 on bench not to mention scarlett. still, they are all quality and he could produce a big one to which i will be fuming. please lose calrton

Carlton have the dockers as well with no tagger now that Crowley is gone

 

[LemmingMaster]

The guy against me is obviously a Sydney fan, 10 Sydney players and Ablett + Richo.

I should be able to make it past another round, he did score 1866 last round, so stranger things have happened.

Just curious.How are the eliminator oponents decided.In the rules it says according to ranking. I ranked 1776 in round 6 but am playing someone ranked 38806.Shouldnt I be playing someone lower down the order.By the way I am very confident but just curious.Does anyone know?

 

[Hawkmad]

Definatly not a gimmie this week. He has the higher eliminator ranking but I have the higher overall rank. Me (Powerlions) - 4k & him (mitchs destroyers) - 57k.
Averages have me in front 1988 to 1782 but if I was playing him last week he would beat me 1918 to 1938.

So could go either way.

 

[Athomas]

Hardly an easy game for me this week:

[Bound For Glory]

Anyones team called Raging pr0n Stars? Thats who I play this week so just curious.

 

[Hawkmad]

Just had a look at my son's team for his eliminator match this week & talk about close.

His overall ranking is (14,616th) & his opponents is (15,461st)

 

[CrozaN]

FINALLLYY!!!!

Tougher match this week, vsing team called Dominators, ranked 92,423rd, averaging 1677.

Should win, he has a 0 in the back and still has Hille and also has Lucas.

Unless my team dies....i should win .

The forward line is too weak.

 

[Hodges]

Im playing a guy who is only ranked 861 positions lower than me. Should be a good contest.

 

[Notorious_29]

my opponent scored 1924 last week, not going to be an easy win at all.
looks like he has used a few trades already, he has lucas and meesen as his second ruck so he is likely to trade these players.

 

[Piikeyyy]

After my poor peformance last week I have managed to draw a bloke with an average of 1993 currently ranked 4000 odd overall

That being said im quietly confident

 

[nethermage]

well i've got an average in the mid 1900's and i've drawn a guy whose in the top 750 overall i looked at his time and i don't think i have a snowballs chance in hell of proceding lol

 

[adam10]

The guy im playing scored 2204.
Full stop

 

[iluvparis]

Smashing win last week (2250 - 1749) and up against a similar quality opponnent (maybe slightly better) this week.

If my boys show up they should be too good.

 

[Kid A]

playing against someone ranked 115k and who has too many injuries to deal with. easy win this week, like last.

 

[Oscarman]

Won by 895 last week, but up against a better opponent this week.

 

[stman66]

How come no one mentions the teams name they will be playing?
Ive got cuzonice I should roll him

 

[drd23]

Playing someone who got high 1900s last week and averages ~1800. Could be a close week for me

 

[Boro]

I'm playing the Underdog and we average about the same score (100 points different in total), but unfortunately with all the injuries I have (4 zero's this week if I don't trade) I am most likely going out

 

[senrulzisback]

With an eliminator ranking of 14241, I have drawn this:

http://afl.virtualsports.com.au/?p=other_teams&tid=24798

Odd team, backline has Merret, N J Brown, Grundy, McGuire, O'brien.

I should win comfortably seeing as I don't have Ablett and he does.

 

[karls crew]

up against the puppies, they only managed 1700 last week and should have a few onfield zeroes this week so should get up comfortably

 

[Jay-Z]

Up against some team called Fecal Leakage who scored 1898 last week. I scored 2050 but got f**ked over by injuries so it should be a close one

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

I am ranked around 37000 in the eliminator after a terrible 1891 last round, my opponent is ranked about 7000 and scored 2077 last round but he has an overall ranking about 5400 below me (~12,300) so it should be a good contest.

His team ('Dapto Dogs') is as follows and like last week, i'll add in my 'half-assed' predicted scores

Chad - 100
Goddard - 100
Gilbert - 85
Drummond - 90
Stevens - 70
Hill - 60
Petrenko - 55

Dawson (emg?) - 50
Raines - 0

Ablett - Will he trade....he has cover but not great cover in Joseph
Corey - 110 (C?)
Judd - 100
Selwood - 100
Hasleby - 80
Mackay - 70

Joseph (emg?) - 50
Robinson - 0

Cox - 100
Tippett - 65

Jacobs
Browne

Franklin - 110
Pavlich - 95
Delidio - 95
Roughead - 80
Higgins - 80
Lucas - 0
Warren - 60

Thompson - 0
Hogan - 0

A decent team and it will be 'hearts in mouths' stuff all weekend for me i think, particularly if he trades Ablett to Bartel. I will be quite happy if Petrenko is dropped this week which i think is a good chance of happening.

I'm worried......

 

[Invigoration]

Got no idea how my opponent made it through the first round with a whopping 1427

Ranked like 66,000. Perfect
