    Anyway, no shame in losing to UKJC, always a good player, congrats on the win!


    Cheers mate, had a decent bit of luck to get this far given how poor I’m going overall.
    Looks like it could be a tough one in the final this week though, will need some more luck to get me through - 0 trades left and only 15 players on the park (if Curran plays, 14 if not).

    Didn't you actually go close to winning the legit VSDT Eliminator last year or the year before?

    I won the overall in VSDT last year, can’t remember where I got to in the eliminator but don’t think it was too close to the end.

    TALFAL WINS!

    Congrats to this forums 2nd favourite Dragons supporter. He's had a great charge since the byes, and is firmly embedded in the top 1000 and destined for L1 next year

    Commiserations to UKJC, who has been an eliminator specialist - making semis, quarters and now the final in the last 3 years. Unfortunately his bold strategy of naming only 15 for the final did not pay off.

    And the BRONZE goes to...

    Easy Tiger!!!


    easytiger 931 def Whall15 852
    Superb final round by the Tiger... Yeo (c), AFB and Tapine dominating up the guts, giving plenty of room for DCE and D Brown to create havoc in a nice return to form for both. Shoutout for Luca Moretti on the bench netting 56 points - not exactly a name I'd expected to see!

    Whall took the punt on Hynes, suspect it might pay off a round too late for this comp.

    Congrats on the win @Talfal - well deserved.
    Needed all my PODs to go big with only 15 on the park but unfortunately wasn’t to be!
    Hopefully I can keep the eliminator run going and go one better next year!

    Congrats to Talfal - excellent job!

    Pretty happy to add the Bronze to my Silver from last year.

    Hopefully next year I can complete the set, or maybe continue the trajectory of 2nd -> 3rd -> 4th?

    Huge thanks to Rob for running such a great competition (especially with how taxing this year has been!)

    Camo123 has moved up from 15th to 10th - would be seeded 6th rather than 9th today

    Talfal has also moved his FOG ranked in by about 1/3rd, from 34th to 23rd

    Bullbender and easytiger have done even better, almost having their FOG ranks, both coming in from 40s to 20s in the league

    If you want a smoky, cantbeatwinners has moved from 110th to a nice 69th in the FOG. Had to play in the qualifying round as 55th seed, but would be 35th if there was a reseeding 2 weeks later.

    I picked the winner and 3rd at the start, too bad Sportsbet didn’t have an official market
