VSDT 2024

Got through Eliminator. Tactics have changed now with Nicho Hynes going down, and will wait now to see severity of Latrell Mitchell's injury.

I think im going to hang on to Trell in this comp. Plenty of cover but minimal trades

Well done Pacey. I got knocked out of The Eliminator, with my mottley crew losing 992-1109.

I've got 12 players for Round 19 (BEFORE trading). I had planned to have 14, but I've lost B.Turbo (HIA) and D.Gagai (Origin).

I lost Gagai aswell and stupidly went Weekes to Ponga which cost me points, cash and a starter this round, should of went garrick but wanted a POD. So 10 before trades for me. Still kicking in eliminator

Congrats to those still going in the Eliminator. Injuries have robbed me of any chance to field 13 this round, and as such I expect to fall back quite considerably. I'll be running out 11 so hopefully I can get lucky with a good VC loop or something.

Annoyed because I was targeting this round for some inroads, but alas it wasn't meant to be. Should have made some "just in case" trades last week perhaps

That was bad luck with the Weekes > Ponga trade BB.

Congrats on still being in The Eliminator.

Trading CNK to Guymer this week has given me 13 players for Round 19, with 9 trades remaining.

Will probably have to trade out Aitken (and maybe M.King) next week in order to field 17 players in Round 20.
.

5 trades left and I have Latrell, Aitken, Hynes, Mink and Api in my team.
I built up 365k ITB but given the value of some of my outs that now seems like a waste.
Any trades in the short term depend on what my eliminator opponent has.

Happy enough with a 509 from only 10 players and that included Piakura. Hope my Eliminator opponent has a lot of Sharks, Eels and Dragon players so I won't have to worry too much on what to do with Piakura, Hands, Mitchell and King...............

Who is still in The Eliminator (I got knocked out in Round 18)?

Pacey, Bullbender and me, though I look a bit in trouble this round.
Anyone else?

Yeah I'm still kicking.

Bloke I'm playing has similar numbers of players out on bye but copped a couple of injuries last round (Hynes and Aitken), so hoping he is low on trades.

Up to 9th overall and still in the eliminator.

yep i'm still in the eliminator although looking at my opponent this week he's got a very strong team

.
I think the Eliminator is up to the last 256.

So far, we have the following teams (all VSDT veterans) still alive:

Pacey
Bullbender
Code Delta
Oz Sport Mad
B/L
White Lightning

***EDIT***

UKJC

That makes 7, one short of having enough to fill the quarter-finals. Do we have anyone else?

Your team name is amazing

Sitting 29th overall & still in the eliminator.
8 trades left with a big old war chest to target some juicy upgrades over the next couple of weeks.

Bringing in the Chin and throwing the captains band on him for one last shot at the stumps !!!

Same here, unfortunate to lose Aitken but hopefully his sacrifice won't be in vain. Thanks for the upgrade fodder buddy
