Amazingly got up in the eliminator last week! Going into the last game I was 88 points behind with Swan captain v Lockyer and Sidebottom. Won by 9 points 
This weeks opponent is very similar to mine, comes down to these matchups:
Me v Him
Fisher v Lockyer (Lockyer is starting to annoy me now...)
Mackie v Enright
Adcock v Cheney/Broughton
Murphy v Selwood
Bartel v Ablett (captains no doubt)
Kornes v Vince
Swan v Bruce
Rich v Muston
McIntosh v Kruezer
Chapman v Gia
Note: Obviously he may trade... Pretty evenly matched I think.

Far out I think my Eliminator is pretty much finished the guy I'm versing brought a guy who brought in Riewoldt and Ablett this week probably for the sole purpose of beating me as he got rid of his midpricers McGlynn and Coughlan... They were pretty silly trades especially considering he's preferring to start like 4 rookies now, but each to their own I guess...
MY PLAYERS:
S.Fisher, Houlihan, Cheney, Mackie, Gibbs, Bartel, Corey, McIntosh, Skipworth, Gian, Didak, Doughnut
VS
HIS PLAYERS:
Lockyer, Adcock, Hodge ???, Broughton, Grima, Selwood, Mitchell, Rich, SJ, Roo, Sidebottom
Who do you guys reckon will win?

My guy traded
Cornes -> Bowden
So that is a little bit of luck.

^^^ That is an incredibly stupid trade. He traded before the teams came out!?
That's not lucky at all. Trading Cornes to Bowden and having Bowden go down with early injury = lucky. Trading before the teams come out = deserves to lose.

My eliminator match could certainly go either way this round.
Based on the year-to-date averages of the starting 22 for each team I'll lose by 14.
Only 7 players in common, and with his midfield including all of A, B and C (and Swan btw) there'll be lots hanging on the games next weekend.

Not liking the looks of things thanks to poor scores all from Houlihan, S.Fisher and Gibbs, whilst managed to do a McGlynn to Roo trade, was an average of 88 from McGlynn not good enough for you Brad's??? I'm tempted to pull out the towel or find a white flag and wave it around...
my opponent has had a ripper start.
4/450
NDS, riewoldt, goddard and gilbert.
whilst i am on 2/190, with hayes and fishers scores.
gunna be a close one.

Me out
It can be very frustrating, however i won in round 9 with 1656 (400 points below my average). The following week, i made 2 trades and those players performed well below their averages. In fact I would have been 50 points better off if i had kept one of the players I traded out. The rest of the team, however, lifted to give me 2152, a 500 point turn around!
Sometimes a team can just click (or completely fail to do so!)
could go either way this week
im 5/470
hes 5/463
captain doesn't play a factor as gazza is both of our captain.
Ryder v Hill
Scarlett v M.Clarke
Gilbert v Lockyer
Urquhart v Broughton
Bartel v Selwood
Black v Foley
Gibbs v Baker
Jolly v Mcintosh
Cox v Sandilands
Clark v Riewoldt
Tippett v Skipworth
J.Brown v Stevie J
Ballantyne v Deledio
reckon he has the edge with the forward line (on the right)

I know I drew somebody ranked 358th this week, although I'm 325th I had premium injureds in Embley/Drummond this week with my only cover being Petrenko and Cheney. Was pleasantly surprised by Houlihan scoring me 43 and S.Fisher putting together a lazy 55, literally.Me out
What perhaps frustrates me the most is he does a ridiculous trade getting rid of Coughlan and McGlynn (averaging 88!!!) for Ablett (C) and Riewoldt who scored 124... 20 more than his average, whilst completely ignoring the more value premiums in Didak/Chapman, not good enough for you?.
Ablett was meant to be my advantage as his only other premium was Swan. I really do hope I beat the guy because not only will his eliminator be screwed so will his overall ranking because you can't just make stupid trades like that at this time of the year!
Oh well just hoping something crazy happens to him like 3 of his premiums in defence are late withdrawals as he has no cover either...
The guy I am playing has the following backline:
Grimes
Gilbee
Broughton
Hill
Goddard
Cheney
Taylor
Also has no Cox in the ruck department (I have him as captain!)
Only problem is he has Gazza as captain, could be the game breaker next sunday afternoon.
Hoping for some massive scores from the likes of Cox and Lids tonight to give me some breathing space. Would love to make it to the final 1000.

I'm worried about the same thing. The person I'm playing hasn't got a great line-up apart from the centres, which are:
Ablett (c), Bartel, Hayes, Selwood, Gibbs, Goodes.
Nothing in my matchup at the moment, but at the moment it comes down to.
Enright v Lockyer
Newman v Gilbee
Ellis v Harding
Malceski v Ryder
Grimes v Hurn
Swan (c) v Ablett (c)
Cornes v Bartel
Boyd v Goodes
Muston v 68
Pavlich v J Riewoldt
Deledio v McGlynn
R Murphy v Mooney
B Johnson v Ziebell
Giansiracusa v Higgins
I've got cover everywhere but in the forwards. If Murphy's a late withdrawal (again), and Sidebottom's (who we both have) not named I'll be in a fair bit of trouble.
