RDT 2016 Eliminator

[Koop]

Him: 338, Cripps, DBJ, Gawn, Petracca
Me: Thomas, Bennedy, Wagner, Dahlhaus, Steven, Montagna, Yeo

Will need to come home with a sail wetter than Nth Qld in a monsoon to get the job done. Was looking OK until Ward (c), Bastinac and Titchell decided to spud.

A 65 from Thomas was eh, but currently looking at the following

Him: 235, Gawn (1qtr), Petracca (1qtr)
Me: Dahlhaus (1qtr), Bennedy (1qtr), Wagner (1qtr), Steven, Montagna, Yeo (all 3qtr)

I'm coming home like a steam train, but whether it gets to the station fast enough is another matter. Yeo lift pls

6 points from Dahl, and not much better from the other two has left me at this.

Him: 177
Me: a half from Steven, Montagna and Yeo

Will probably fall short by 40 or so, but both Steven and Montagna are capable of the impossible. Happy I got so close after the week I've had.

Steven why did you have to go missing?  :'(

Lost by 10, Yeo goal and Montagna junk almost willed me across, but wasn't to be.

[LF]

Got through by 27 points,can give that entirely to Libba being fantastic today

Smith has gotten me off to a terrible start.

Well I'm done. I lost by about 20 points this week with a ton of under performers. Smith, Stef, Robbo, Kerridge, McVeigh, Parker, Mitchell, Byrne-Jones and Steven were all way under their usual input.

Luck is critical in eliminator mate, glad you got through in a week of carnage.

Last few years iv'e gone final 16, out early rounds, final 8 (team that beat me won it), out midway,  so on current form i'm a cert for final 4 haha (wishful thinking) but the point to the story is I have also had alot of good fortune/luck to achieve those finishes.
Eliminator is bloody hard to win the prizes don't reflect how hard it is to win, without a bit of luck you're no chance.
