Anyone have a tough game this week? Or did anyone lose last week?
Hope this didn't happen to anyone who played the bye.

5,338 :(
Went down after last week from 3,561
Got someonne ranked 22k, his team is on par with mine, he just had even more of a shocking week :/ He had 3 donuts, Hayes, Waters and a self incflicted Goodes one
Flower, thanks for reminding me about it! 8)
Anyone know how eliminator match-ups work? :P
First of all thought it might be on weekly ranking, but I am playing a sh!thouse team this week despite a sh!thouse score from me last week.
Then thought it must be on overall ranking, but I'm ranked higher than some of the other blokes posting who they're playing, but they're playing worser teams this week!

I always thought it was completely random...
Ah, right! That would make sense! :P
Although:
Each eligible entry will receive a ranking based on their team score at the completion of Round 5;
Each team in the top 131,072 entries will be matched up against another team in the next 131,072 entries based on their rankings;
In Round 6, these teams will be matched up and play 'head-to-head' against one another, the winner being the team that scores the most points for the round;
The winning teams proceed to the next round, losing teams are eliminated and take no further part in the Eliminator competition;
The process is repeated with all remaining teams for the remainder of the season, until there are 2 teams remaining in Round 23. The higher scoring of the two teams in Round 23 will be deemed the Eliminator Winner;
In the event of a tied score at any stage, the team with the highest total score for the season-to-date is deemed the winner - if this is equal, the winner will be the team who registered first in time.
So I guess who you play in Rd 7 is based on your round 5 & 6 scores combined?
It's based on last rounds score I had the bye last week and my eliminator ranking is the ranking I finished overall with last round.
Which is why I'm playing a really low ranked team this week.
Had a look who I'm playing....:
"Funky Times." "Good times." ::)
127,912 overall rank.
Has Gilbert, Jamison & Talia in defense.
Petire, Balla, Goldsack & Lynch up front.
My guy has
Zac Dawson don't really need to say anymore than that.

Yep, he knows what he's doing.
Has Dawson ever tonned up in illustrious career??

Nope, high score 89 vs NM rd 10 2009.
If you got DT points for fists out of bounds and spoils for rushed behinds, the guy would be a gun!

Really, must have better material than that, surely ::)
I've scored an average of 1964 points per round and my opponent has scored 1931 points per round...
Could well find myself out after one round.....
Got through until well after the byes last year.... ;)
My guy is averaging 1693 and scored 1427 last week. Should be straight through to round three. Btw did anyone notice how crappy the prize is for winning the eliminator?
The overall winner of the 2013 NAB AFL Dream Team Eliminator competition will receive the first prize of 1 x double pass to the game of the winner's choice (excluding Anzac Day and Finals), 1 x AFL "Fantasy" Sherrin football and 1 x $50 Merchandise pack.
That's all you get for winning 17 games in a row?!? Definitely not worth doing trades later on just to win Eliminator rounds.
Guys I am pretty sure they separate the top half from the bottom half from the previous weeks weekly ranks, and then determine head-to-heads randomly between the two groups.
So basically if you rank in the top half you get a random opponent from the bottom half.
Would explain why the match ups are inconsistent.

Better than no prize at all. Bit weird how they mention ANZAC Day when it clearly lands before the Eliminator competition even starts..!
funny thing about eliminator is that often the guys who u laugh at them having actually fire and end up eliminating u lol
Since the Bye rounds eliminator has been a bit shower. Easy to come up against someone with no bye consideration and a full midfield of guns... With the crappy prizes I only look at it for interest but not going to trade for it... My focus is 1. Cash League, 2. Overall, 3. Eliminator
This round I my as well have another Bye... My Rank: 4057, His Rank: 105,508

He'd be close to having total points near 100...

Me too, haha. I'm somehow still in it, and I'm facing a guy this week who has Gibbs, Grimes, Goodes and Pittard in the backline and he doesn't have Swan or Ablett. If I lose this match up I quit DT forever.
i'm gone already lol run into a team full of tigers and even motlop lmao
I'm in real danger of losing this round, to be honest.
I'm projected to win, but oh so closely.
Down by 134, I have Dangerfield, Terlich, Robinson.
He has Judd and Wright.
Need a big game from Dangerfield and Robinson
Even though I'm having another shocker of a week I will get through. The guy I'm playing has Wines as captain...
Tough one this week. The guy is ranked 8504 and has a decent team. Crappy backline though of Goddard, Heppell, Stevenson, Goodes, Terlich, Vlastuin (Heath, Laird).
I think I've got lucky this round. Even though my opponent is 10 000 places ahead of me, he's got Gibbs, Hartlett, and Stevenson in defence, Brett Goodes, Viney and Kane Mitchell in midfield, Maric, and Daisy Thomas. Going to have some headaches this week but lucky can swap Cox back into rucks to cover Maric.
Yea, I'll be bowing out this week, barring a miracle.
190 behind.
Robinson, Monfries, Hartlett, Martin
v
Westhoff, O'Shea, Jacobs.
Still possible... just a damn site not likely
Best case:
110, 100, 120, 140
v
30, 30, 50
=win by 170.... so there is SOME margin there...
So, even a
90,90,90,90
v
50,50,69
Would give me the win... so, not all hope is lost, but.
I have Stevie J as Captain, he has Ablett.
I made it through 2135 vs 2080. C

Yea, I got Swans 90 and Mayes 31 instead of Stevie J's 130..... fail.
So how many people will be left after this round? I know I'll still be in :)
l won by 6
but l dont know how......
Swan 85
Rocky 67
Ellis Thurlow 29
Cloke 78
Pendles 95
Zorko 46
Deledio 53
I need Terlich to outscore Evans by 38 or more to scrape through
Still in it Mundy saved me really after Birch's late withdrawl i thought i was gone tbh. You need a bit of luck in this, i got a bit this weekend. :)
Lost by a single point...
2141 vs 2142..
Needed Fyfe to outscore M.Johnson, Johnson decided he actually wanted to do something for once this year.

Unlucky mate, thats a tough way to bow out, one lousy point.

there should be 16,384 left.
I'm still hanging on too
Still in...reckon I'll bomb out in round 13
Same as last year....always go for league wins so I "tank" one round ;D
in a dogfight myself. will come down to swanny v shaw
still alive somehow in this - been pretty lucky so far despite running into some freakshow scores (ie tom lynch)
Looking at this weeks opponent, rnd 12 could see me bid farewell to Eliminator. Rnd 13 would of been a slaughter anyway. Goodluck to all.
Managed to win my game by the skin of my teath. Looked like a massive loss at the begining of the weekend but the Mundy out and my massive boyd score clinched it.
just chugging along beat a guy who had 20 vs 17 by 100 points :)
played a guy with 16 to my 18 still thought i lost it when i missed out on changing my c/vc but won by 232 points anyways :)
My team is absolute terrible now, weekly ranking for the last 4 have been around the 20,000th yet I keep pulling wins out my arse!
It ended up with lids vs Nroo + 4!! So scrapped through!
Who else is in the final part!

Well done mate , goodluck. ;)
I was down by 4 points at the end of the tigers saints game, I probably had about 20% chance of winning because it was lids and 63 against ellis and riewoldt. DT gods must have been smiling on me though! Because the stats men forgot a tackle, which moved lids from 95 to 99 so my opponent and I were then tied. I'm ranked higher! I feel for the guy, he had swan as captain over GAJ :D
i made it through by a good 168 but getting harder and harder each week now
basically 1 bad game from a premo and your gone
